This was the famous game Grimm changed Gibbs playcalls in the huddle near the end of the game to run right at HOF'er Randy White and run out the clock.
We do not have that physical play anymore.
YouTube - Washington Redskins-Diesel destroys Dallas!

Video could also be called Dexter Destoys Dallas. Check out 1:01 and 1:50 when he bats the ball.

I also feel lucky to have experienced this, and can get a little choked up about it sometimes. Four Super Bowls in 10 years racks up a lot of lifelong memories with family, friends, and yes bartenders, and complete strangers. I've hugged the young and old, rich and poor, a lot of drunks and a couple dudes in wheel chairs during a championship game. It's what Redskin fans did, especially when RFK roared (and when beer man came around).



Here's my video contribution outside of the Super Bowls. This one's only a few seconds, but says it all. Who we were, and will be again someday.

Get to 4:00 on this one (playoffs v. Atlanta...it was about effing cold and rained the entire time, one of favorite RFK memories). Anyway, I was in my early 20s during the glory years, and hope those of you of the same age today get a taste of this. You so deserve it.

If I remember correctly it was this game that Rypien threw a late INT (game was already out of reach) to Deion. On the INT return, Rypien ROCKED Deion. That was one I'll never forget, great hit by Rypien and I couldn't stand Deion even back then. Couldn't find the clip on YouTube.

Yeah I remember that play well too. Rypien stuck him good and make a textbook tackle.

Yeah I remember they started celebrating, typical Deion and his low rent teammates, they were celebrating like the play won them the game. Safety's Danny Copeland and Brad Edwards interrupted their celebrations rather physically, grabbed them and pointed to the scoreboard. Reminded them they were losing something like 24-7. It shut them up qucily, funniest moment of the game.
I remember there were numerous Atlanta area stars (musicians,boxer, etc) on the sidelines line at RFK. SoOme of the Redskins later said they took offense to that.
Man how times have changed. The Joe Gibbs Redskins teams were classy.
