Super Bowl XVII - Miami Dolphins vs Washington Redskins January 30th 1983 Highlights

[@Biggdoom344]

This was actually a really good game. One of the more underrated Super Bowls. I think it gets lost because it was the strike year (1982).

[@mercuryrising2424]

People were rather excited to watch this Super Bowl. Probably because there were less games played and people were craving football. Another case for the NFL playing too many games now.

[@ChiefBlue4298]

John Riggins was a machine in this game, 38 carries for 166 yards and a 43-yard touchdown run to put Washington ahead

[@timburr4453]

At 33 years old! He had 610 rushing yards in 4 Redskin playoff games that year. That's video game numbers absurd

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Super Bowl XVII between the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Redskins.

[@mesocorny4366]

Yeah and the latest date ever for a sb at the time (1/30) but happened as originally scheduled and not delayed by reg season finishing late

[@mesocorny4366]

Nowadays (as of early ‘23) both franchises compared to each other for their dysfunctionality

[@ChiefBlue4298]

The Dolphins appear to be on the right track and Washington just said goodbye to Dan Snyder

[@PostFamilyOfOrigin]

@@ChiefBlue4298 As a Redskins fan I agree. Miami just got the record over the Redskins for The highest scoring game in NFL history. But at least our former DANNY BOY owner is finally gone

[@eflint1]

Strange how ineffective the Dolphin offense was in the second half.

[@timburr4453]

Redskins made adjustments. Dolphins O wasnt that great in the 1st half either... they had an unimpressive offense in general that year. Woodley was bad, but could make plays with his legs at times. Decent run game, not so good receivers. Harris was ok, Cefalo a big play guy, Nat Moore was aging and had a lost season...

@@timburr4453 It's a pity Dan Marino wasn't in the 1982 draft. I believe a rookie Marino would have won this game for Miami.

[@NationofJason216]

If Ray finkle never missed that field goal....lol

Q recuerdos uno de mis primeras decepciones en este gran deporte soy Vaquero y en ese supertazon tenía 12 años y quería q perdiera el gran rival de Dallas y le iba a los Dolfhins pro no fue así .. hoy recuerdo y me da lástima lo q es Washington por qué fue un gran rival y odiado pro respetado y no la basura de franquicia q han echo quitándole su nombre y su identidad .. gran rival de antaño odiado pro con respeto a esos grandes Pieles Rojas 🤘🏉

That name change was nothing but Woke b.s. Lots of Indians loved the logo and bought the merchandise

[@timburr4453]

Strock needed to come in much earlier Miami had 2 monster plays this game and did zilch otherwise

[@briancusack4386]

Agreed!

[@stephaniegormley9982]

0:08 The Redskins tried to turn that receiver, Charlie Brown into a FG kicker. But the holder kept pulling the ball away.

[@sunnybeech74]

Lucy Van Pelt was the holder. The Redskins cut her the next season.

[@sigsauer3719]

Deadskins were never that good…Oakland destroyed them…few years later…

[@alexbrown-il5db]

It was actually the next year. But the redskins of 80s and early 90s had the most complete teams in nfl history

[@mbd501]

@@alexbrown-il5db Gibbs won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QBs. He was a great coach.

[@TrannyMahomes]

It was the next year and it was the Los Angeles Raiders.
