RG3 to Start for Ravens

December 25, 2019 8:14 am

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) – Robert Griffin III will make his first start at quarterback since 2016 when he leads the Baltimore Ravens against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Because the Ravens have already wrapped up the top seed in the AFC playoffs, Griffin will start for Lamar Jackson in a game that’s essentially meaningless to Baltimore. Griffin hasn’t started since he played for the Cleveland Browns three years ago. The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Yearáhas been a backup in Baltimore over the past two seasons. Known as RG3, Griffin has thrown one touchdown pass in six games this year.
