When the New York Giants beat the Washington Redskins 27-23 on October 21, the winning team walked away with an unusual feeling of foreboding: They had seen Robert Griffin III for the first time up close, and they were very impressed. With 2:07 left in the game, on fourth-and-10 from his own 23-yard line, Griffin looked to throw to tight end Logan Paulsen up the middle, but linebacker Chase Blackburn closed that off. The Giants' vaunted pass was closing in, and Griffin had to run to his left. Most rookie quarterbacks break down right there, but Griffin didn't -- he faked end Jason Pierre-Paul out of  his shoes, stepped forward, and hit the now open Paulsen for a 19-yard gain.

Three plays later, and after he also scrambled for 24 yards, Griffin his Santana Moss for a 30-yard touchdown and the lead. What everyone remembers is the 77-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manningto Victor Cruz that decided the game -- it was one of Manning's most emphatic late-game responses in a career full of them -- but the Giants couldn't stop talking about that throw to Paulsen.
