LANDOVER, Md., Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Robert Griffin III hit Pierre Garcon with a go-ahead TD pass in the fourth quarter Monday, propelling the Washington Redskins past the New York Giants 17-16.
Trailing by six points late in the third quarter, Griffin started the Redskins on a 12-play, 86-yard drive, highlighted by Alfred Morris' 16-yard run.
