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.
