Too bad this wasn't the Super Bowl that year. This was voted the best
game in the NFL in 1983, as the Redskins and Raiders slug it out, only
to have the 'Skins come back in amazing fashion to pull out a miracle
win with a Joe Washington touchdown. A long Joe Washington screen
helped get the Redskins in position to win; ironically, the Raiders
coaches would remember that screen play, and when the Redskins tried to
use it in Super Bowl XVIII, the Raiders picked it off for a TD just
before halftime. This is a classic Redskin game. Oh, and it's Darrell
Green's rookie season, too. He makes some fantastic plays.
