An excited Griffin III brings game ball to news conference

Robert Griffin III was so excited about his first TD pass that he brought the ball to his post-game interview after the Redskins upset the Saints 40-32.

Griffin said,, “It was funny. They blitzed on that play. And I was hot, and I was looking to throw to my hot guy, and he got covered. Pierre was the primary receiver on that [play], so I had enough time to look back to him and throw it to him. The one thing receivers don’t like to do, [no matter] tough they are or not, they don’t like to run across the middle for a long period of time. And Pierre ran across the middle, caught it high over the middle and did a good job finishing the play, so I commend him for that. This is actually the ball from that touchdown. They gave it to me. You know, first touchdown in the NFL.”
