BEHIND ENEMY LINES

— The Redskins aren't saying whether Robert Griffin III will start Sunday.

— Redskins WR Pierre Garcon was frustrated with his role in Monday's win.

— New head coach Jay Gruden is starting to take charge of the Redskins.

TODAY'S VIKINGS SCHEDULE

The Vikings get back to work this morning at Winter Park to prepare for the Redskins. Coach Mike Zimmer and QB Teddy Bridgewater will be at the podium at 11 a.m. Practice is at 12:50 p.m.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Six running backs were selected before Jerick McKinnon in May's NFL draft, but it is the rookie out of Georgia Southern who leads all rookies with 392 rushing yards. It certainly helped that he rushed for 135 yards, the most by a rookie back this season, in the Week 4 win over the Falcons.
