Robert Griffin III slams critics who wanted Lamar Jackson to play hurt
in their wild-card game against the Bengals drew some criticism over the weekend, but one prominent NFL analyst says it absolutely was the correct move.“You’re three games away [from the Super Bowl]. Put a brace on it,” Vick saidOn Sunday night, another former quarterback fiercely defended the decision not to play Jackson. Robert Griffin III, who competed in a playoff game with a knee injury in January 2013, believes Jackson and the Ravens made the right call.
“Played with no ACL and LCL for my brothers/team. Changed the trajectory of my career. Hindsight is 20/20,” Griffin wrote on twitter. “I didn’t have the luxury of that. Lamar does. He is DOING THE RIGHT THING.” Before further injuring his knee in that playoff game, Griffin was 9-6 with Washington, while making the Pro Bowl and winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. After the injury, he went just 5-15 with Washington over the next three years. The team released him in 2016, and he went on to make unmemorable career stops with the Browns and Ravens.
