Overview
- On Friday Griffin posted an Instagram video in full 2012 Washington gear that joked about a Netflix documentary and blamed then‑coach Mike Shanahan for keeping him in the 2012 Wild Card game.
- He was referring to a knee problem that began with a Week 14 LCL sprain and was re‑aggravated in the playoff loss to Seattle, with later medical reports showing torn ACL, LCL and meniscus.
- The 2012 injury changed Griffin’s playing style and career path as he started far fewer games after 2012, ceded the job to Kirk Cousins and eventually left Washington and the NFL.
- News outlets say the post fits a wider viral ‘Netflix documentary’ meme and is being treated as performative commentary rather than proof of an actual Netflix production.
- Griffin previously announced then abandoned a planned tell‑all book that he said would cover issues inside Washington, and his latest post renews public focus on team decisions, player health and possible further disclosures even though none have been announced.
