Shanahan and the Redskins entered the 2012 bye week at 3-6.

Coming out of the bye week, the Shanahans and Washington have yet to lose, going 6-0 and are on top of the NFC East with an overall record of 9-6.

Shanahan turned to another rookie in Kirk Cousins in November, when Griffin was injured, and relegated Grossman to third string.

Cousins led the Redskins to a crucial win over the Browns in his lone start of the 2012 season.
