jason pugh is at our live desk with the controversial call. hey, jason. >> doreen, that's right.edskins coach mike shanahan is going to shut down robert griffin iii inactive. kirk cousins will start this week in atlanta. shanahan noted the potential risk for injury as a major concern when it came to benching griffin. >> the quarterback needs an off season program. it's important to him. when you take a look at quarterback who is your franchise quarterback, he's your future if you miss two off seasons in a roerks it will be the hardest thing to do is recover from that. i take a look at the next three games. i'd like him to have that experience. but at the risk of setting him back where he doesn't go into off season, i think that would be devastating to him. >> i expressed my desire to play. of course i want to be out there and finish the season with my guys, see it through. and he explained to me his reasoning and at the end of the day, coach -- coach's decision is what we go with. >> as you can imagine it was a very wild day at redskins park. coming up later we'll hear from kirk

. >>> so nice of jason pugh to stop by and join us on the desk. >> i had no choice. >> no choice.e no choice, they are at home. >> yes, back at home tonight. this team they are going to make the playoffs but to reach full potential you have to stay healthy. that's going to be a big issue. >> you think they are making the playoffs? >> definitely. they got to stay healthy. the wizards are home against the is pistons. they had their three-game winning streak snapped. bradley beale suffered a knee injury. this was the play that beale injured himself on. it happened in the fourth quarter, he banged knees with a minnesota player and had to leave the game. a few minutes ago beale was warming up at the verizon center listed as a game time decision for tonight's contest against the pistons. >> he's fine. everything checked out good today, so you know, he's got a bruise from banging knees is basically what happened. and you know, looking at it on film kind of i think forget who it was that he banged into, but just head on head knee bang. so, he's obviously going to be tender just from havin

jason pugh is here with reaction. >> back-to-back one point losses for the redskins in the last two weeks. this loss hurts a little more than the other games. maybe because the skins had the lead. tony romo did not lose for the cowboys but won it for dallas. london fletcher announced he is retiring after the season. cousins finds pierre garcon. he has 107 catches on the year now. in the fourth quarter skins up six. tony romo brings the cowboys back. he finds demarco murray. ten yard touchdown and the extra point gave dallas the lead and win, 24-23. >> anytime you have a game like that and can't find a way to get it done especially against dallas you just look backt at your opportunities and you are very disappointed that you didn't take advantage of them. thought our fans were great. just disappointed we couldn't get it done for them. >> despite the loss there were positives from the game like garcon breaking the record. >>> new video from oklahoma showing the effects of the winter storm hitting the area. huge sheets of ice fell from the roof of a mall today in oklahoma city. shoppers cau

jason pugh is here to tell us about them. >> the they are led by their quarterback. sophomore is the big man on campus. back to a great season. he's quickly becoming a household name. he may not have the hype or controversy of a johnny manziel. winning is as important to his team as the two heisman front-runners. >> fortunate enough to score because of the guys around me. >> smart football players. he prepares every day. he's a humble kid, comes from a great family. he doesn't take anything for granted. >> reporter: 34 touchdowns and counting. reynolds is becoming a star for the mid shipmen. he scored the most by a quarterback. >> it was probably after the last one. i scored seven touchdowns. it was kind of a smack in the face, really. reality check. it was fun. it was nice. like i said, credit to my teammates. >> reporter: this weekend, the teammates are expecting a spectacular performance from the sophomore. this is the army/navy game. >> marines in it for us. they have the army rooting for them. there's a lot of sentiment in this game. it's a very profound game. w
