After replacing Colt McCoy, who reaggravating the neck injury he dealt with all week long on the very first drive, Robert Griffin III came into the game and has looked pretty good. Griffin nearly capped off a solid first half with a rushing touchdown from eight yards out.

Since every score gets reviewed, the referees took another look at the play and reversed the call, claiming Griffin did not have possession as he landed out of bounds. As a result, the play was actually a touchback. This ruling didn't sit well with RGIII's teammate Santana Moss who got all up in the refs' faces as both teams headed to the locker room. 

While we don't know what Moss said, he was quickly given a flag and subsequently ejected from the game. And just look at how angry Jeff Triplette was...
