The forecast for today's Bengals-Browns game calls for 1-3 inches of snow and winds of 10-20 mph. We start to worry about the passing games when winds get over 15 mph, so this is a slight concern. Both teams figured to go run-heavy anyway, and the weather will only push them farther in that direction.
Browns QB Robert Griffin has a "potentially serious" shoulder injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. RG3 downplayed the issue after the game, but it sounds like there's a chance he misses time. He's undergoing additional testing today, so we should get another update soon. QB Josh McCown would step in if Griffin is sidelined and might be an upgrade for the offense.
With Washington's season over, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the team will release QB Robert Griffin at some point. That move doesn't need to happen until March 9. That's when his $16.5 million option for 2016, which the team previously picked up, would become guaranteed. That's the number that figures to keep any team from trading for RG3, but we'd guess he'll find plenty of interest on the open market. Griffin needs to find the right situation and work to turn his NFL career around, but he at least starts with physical talent. We'll be curious to see where this goes.
