ASHBURN, Va. (AP) – Robert Griffin III didn’t stray from his scripted response.
The Washington Redskins quarterback gave non-answers during his Wednesday news conference, responding to nearly every question with some variation of: “We’re focused on San Francisco.”
Griffin was stung by the implication that he had thrown his teammates under the bus with his postgame remarks following a 20-point loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Coach Jay Gruden also has told Griffin to rein in comments about teammates. The coach said on Monday: “Robert needs to understand he needs to worry about himself, No. 1, and not everybody else.”
The Redskins are 3-7 and visit the 49ers on Sunday.
