This takes a ton of balls. Imagine complaining about a loss after your team had a COVID-19 outbreak and the NFL bent over backwards to get the game rescheduled. That's exactly what Robert Griffin III did following Wednesday's loss to the Steelers.
RGIII wasn't happy about how the NFL handled Baltimore's outbreak and cried about not having enough time to prepare for the game. A game he left early with a hamstring injury.
Robert Griffin III said he's never suffered a hamstring injury until today. He indicated he's unhappy about having to prepare with such little time.

Robert Griffin III is not happy with how this outbreak has been handled by the powers that be. He's the most visibly frustrated with all of this.
"It's not about whether or not guys want to play. It's about whether our safety's actually being taken into account."

This game was supposed to be played on Thanksgiving. Did he have time to practice and prepare with his team? No, but he has to stay ready for this type of situation. He's a backup quarterback during a pandemic.
As far as his hamstring injury goes, RGIII is just the guy who gets hurt. No matter how long he had to get ready for the game he would have suffered an injury. Bottom line the NFL should have made the Ravens forfeit this game.
