    Robert Griffin III's concussion was on everyone's mind as he dropped back on a third-and-6, with the Washington Redskins trying to put the game away.

    "I took off running and got to the sideline, thought about running out of bounds -- because everyone's been telling me that lately," he said with a big smile. "And I felt like I had the guy outflanked, and then I just took off running. And the rest is history."

    Not only did his 76-yard touchdown run put the game away, it also dismissed any thoughts that his first serious shot to the head as a pro was going to stop RG3 from being RG3.

    The longest scoring run by an NFL quarterback in 16 years was part of his 138-yard rushing performance in the Redskins' 38-26 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
