QB Robert Griffin III took snaps against Atlanta after not playing since the last week of the 2016 season. Griffin was forced into the lineup when Lamar Jackson had to leave for a concussion evaluation. He led a 14-play drive for a field goal and returned to the bench after Jackson was cleared.Griffin completed 2 of 4 passes for 21 yards but did not run the ball. “Personally, it’s emotional because a year ago no one thought I’d be playing in the NFL ever again,” Griffin said. “That was a special moment for me, but I tried not to make that the focal point of what was going on.”
