2013 RetroSkins Highlights: San Diego Chargers vs Washington Redskins

RetroSkins has been getting requests for games from more recent seasons. So, to appease our younger demographic (does this page even have a demographic?), we go not so way back to 2013!
Wait, you ask... wasn't 2013 a total dumpster fire? Yes. Yes it was. But here at RetroSkins, we believe that there's something worth remembering from even the worst of years. That's what we're all about - the deep cuts, baby!
If you don't recall this '13 game, the Redskins (2-5) were hosting the very good Phillip Rivers and his pretty good San Diego Chargers (4-3) in this mid-season match-up at FedEx. RGIII and the Redskins offense was surprisingly competent, with crisp passing, jumbo running, and even a little grit in overcoming an early tough-luck INT TD by the Charger defense. Meanwhile, the 'Skins D redefined the old bend-but-don't-break philosophy in thrilling fashion.
Don't remember how this one ended? Kick back and enjoy (no spoilers today!).
RetroSkins bonus - it's retro uni day!
Ian Eagle and that old RetroCharger Dan Fouts on the call from FedEx Field, for this rare bright spot from the otherwise cringe-worthy 2013 season.

one of the better post 2012 RG3 games. 23/32, 291 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT. 86.8 QBR. Not entirely terrible. Plus that last drive in OT was beautiful

[@carsongambaro]

The INT wasn’t really thrown pass, and though he didn’t toss any TD’s he put DY in position to run it in. I miss #36 just as much as i miss #10

Garçons hands in this game 💪🏽 & all that burgundy and gold in the stands 😍

This game was surprisingly on TV in the Philadelphia area and I got to watch it!

[@philchroniger7839]

I was at this game! Sat in the end zone when D Young scored in ot, bout 10 rows back

[@mellotainment]

That field generalship was a thing of beauty by RG3! Mannn did he bring electricity back to this city ! I’m just gonna leave it right there!

[@brandoncrittenden3939]

These are the hardest jerseys of all time #HTTR

[@dxrocks06]

Love the Redskins graphics you made for those video!

[@thegoat531]

We need a fullback....great game.

[@marvinshenk]

Great Washington win!

[@Will008]

If Robert never got injured…

[@iceberggslim22]

Why did the Chargers change this uniform 🤔

[@RetroSkins]

Agreed. This is their best look.

[@angelenriqu1]

I still remember that opening game in 2016 in which both the Chargers and Broncos wore awful color rush combinations that were very different than their regular uniforms.

[@joshuayettou9032]

The special teams unit was just dreadful! Same with the pass defense. What an awful season. I went to the Giants @ Redskins game this season and man what a bad experience that was!? RG3 was soooo bad and the Giants' D destroyed Washington.

[@RetroSkins]

We’ll skip that game. 😁

[@gregharmon3797]

Garçon was a beast

[@gregharmon3797]

Sorry wrong placement

[@joshuayettou9032]

@@RetroSkins Absolutely 😂 That was one of thee worst Redskin games I've ever witnessed. A true nightmare.

[@nickcurran3105]

If #85 Leonard Hankerson had not dropped a big third down pass in the Wild Card game the previous season against the Pisshawks, the Skins win that game.
