2002: St. Louis Rams vs Washington Redskins Remastered NFL Highlights

Can we talk about Danny? Not THAT Danny! I mean Redskins Legend, Danny Wuerffel!
2002 was a time when the Redskins’ QB merry-go-round turned into a out-of-control cyclotron. The Ol’ Ball Coach proved fickle, swapping starting QBs the way Liz Taylor swapped out husbands. Here we have Wuerffel’s moment at the top. Dressed to impress in those terrific 70th Anniversary uni’s, the Redskins whipped up a surprisingly decent effort, rallying from 10-0 down to nip Kurt Warner and the visiting defending NFC Champion St. Louis Rams.
Stephen Davis had a lovely three touchdown day, and Darrell Green made a great game-saving play near the end. But it was Wuerffel’s 16-for-23 235-yard performance that brought the house down. It was an effort so gloriously unexpected that Wuerffel was immediately whisked from the field following the game, taken to a secret location to be preserved in amber, then enshrined for future generations to worship - and hence, he has never been seen or heard from again.
Warner had to settle for the Hall of Fame, alas.
Digitized play-by-play from magical magnetic media, just for you. (Apologies for the sound drop for the first 15ish seconds, oh well).

Those uniforms were really something beautiful

[@steverutherford6589]

I agree…. I think they’re my all time favorite uniforms of theirs

[@Fireyninjadog]

Love maroon

[@gregharmon3797]

Stephen Davis was a beast running the ball

[@j.b9346]

Yeah he was

[@mloftus8618]

Loved these old school uniforms for the skins. They should’ve changed their name to the Washington Warriors and used these uniforms, with a bit of a modern touch/upgrade, instead of commanders. I do like the current unis, but these are fire.

EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED A NAME CHANGE!!! IS IT TOO LATE TO START A PETITION??

[@mloftus8618]

@@KennyMcCormick99 - I actually did when they first asked the fans to send their input for the new name. I got a large petition going and sent it to them with all the names. It was only about 130 people, but still. But I think they were never gonna listen to the fans. It was just a facade to make us think we had input. They already knew they were gonna use commanders, cuz literally nobody in the fandom requested that name!

[@bryansolis3139]

Or at least go back to the original name.. The Braves

[@Saucelight88]

I agree the current unis are fire to but sheesh these wid be a great throwback for us I wonder if where allowed to where these

Stephen Davis was one of the top notch RBs of the Redskins.

[@GoBlue_yanks42]

The fact he chose to retire a panther instead of with us was frustrating

[@KennyMcCormick99]

Man, there are some HOFers on this field today!!

[@KMC5240]

Spurrier really sealed his fate when he cut Davis after this season. Defenses the next season easily figured out his pass-heavy system, and there was no running game to take any kind of load off.

[@RetroSkins]

There’s commentary in some of the 2000 games about Davis being expected to be released at the end of the ‘02 season for salary cap reasons. So it might not have been a Spurrier decision so much as a situation he inherited.

[@KMC5240]

@@RetroSkins That's fair. That 2000 season left them in a mess regarding the cap.

[@Mizzoulord13]

I love these St. Louis Rams games from 1999-2004. Win or lose, they were a fun team during that time. Thanks for uploading this one @RetroSkins.

Kurt had a struggle that whole year.

Love the Spear.

Do you have the 2002 home game against the Cowboys?

[@RetroSkins]

Yes and we will get to it. So many games to share!

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Steve Spurrier vs Mike Martz........... yes, that actually happened

[@pilamcnu]

My favorite Redskins uniform

[@RetroSkins]

It is sharp!

[@gregharmon3797]

I agree

Fumble turnover for WAS baby... HTTR!

[@jamesbacon6272]

2002 Redskins throwbacks - BEST uniforms in the history of all sports! Now, the 2022 Commodes uniforms with the white pants and no stripes look so stupid, like they are running around in their underwear! What an embarrassment now.

[@RetroSkins]

The all black uniforms were particularly appalling to me. Transparent attempt to look cool. No good.

[@jamesbacon6272]

@@RetroSkins Yea, whats with the black unis with the taco holder on the front of the helmet? Terrible.

[@rebelwithacause3574]

The traditional white top red bottom was the best NFL uniform and logo 👌

[@jpsix9939]

I like the burgundy commanders uniform

[@user-jb7fi8ct1u]

Greatest uniforms ever. Too bad they’re “racist”
