Tampa Bay (1-3) wiped out an 18-point deficit to go ahead, 22-21, on Connor Barth's third field goal, a 47-yarder with 1 minute, 42 seconds remaining.
But Griffin wasn't finished.
He completed three straight passes to move the Redskins from their own 20 to the 41, then ran for 15 yards to the 26. He completed passes of 15 yards to Santana Moss, 20 to Fred Davis, and 4 to Evan Royster before taking off on his run that got the Redskins into field-goal range. Cundiff kicked the game-winner two plays later.
Pierre Garcon recovered a fumble in the end zone for the Redskins' first touchdown.
Griffin threw for 323 yards without an interception and scored on a 5-yard run.
