Following their impressive victory in Week 1 over the New Orleans Saints, it appeared the Washington Redskins and rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III wouldn't have much of a problem beating the lowly St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
But never underestimate the power of a lapse in judgment.
With Washington trailing 31-28 with less than two minutes remaining, Redskins receiver Josh Morgan threw the ball at Rams cornerback Corteland Finnegan after making a first-down catch. Now, Morgan's boneheaded ball-fling did come in reaction to being shoved by Finnegan after the play, but it still warranted a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
