I'll go with Game 3...
Portis has been allowed to do as he pleases here in DC for too long to put him on a leash now. Remember in training camp he said that he wasn't going to play in the exhibition games and Zorn said that yes he was. That caused a stir in the summer and Portis played a few snaps just so the coach could look like he was in control there.

Good point. I also remember the talks of having both CP and Betts at the field at the same time. I don't think that ever happened. They do need to figure out something, otherwise CP is going to break down if he doesn't get spelled more often.
