Robert Griffin III (10) brought his Heisman Trophy credentials to New Orleans Sunday and made his NFL debut look like a Big Easy.

Showing a veteran's composure by scrambling only when necessary, the Redskins rookie quarterback tormented the Saints' defense with 320 yards passing and two touchdowns, and Washington held on for 40-32 victory over New Orleans.
