Super Bowl XXII Washington 42 Denver 10

[@chrisokeeffe3895]

This is the beauty of NFL Films. They can make a 42-10 blowout extremely interesting to watch

[@lindseysummers5351]

Washington had a game's worth of production in the second quarter, in only 18 plays. And that was after getting thoroughly dominated in the first quarter. I watched it live as it happened, and 32 years later, I still have a hard time believing it. I would say that is pretty interesting. Not to mention the stats put up by Doug Williams, Ricky Sanders, and Timmy Smith (Super Bowl record for rushing).

@@lindseysummers5351 hello. With it onlh being 10 - 00 l would not say they were dominated. If anything they were barily dominated......weird phrase, l know. Consider that washington had a 1st qtr long t smith run called back because of penalty. Also there were like 5 dropped passes by washington with at least 3 of the times receivers were wide open. 4 of those drops would have been 1st downs. Now l will say that d williams' fumble was a missed call so with a few tears for that we can say 42 - 17. Eventually the redskins were gonna complete some of those drops. Thoroughly dominated, l disagree on that. Glad u saw it in person. Kool.

No doubt about that. Ricky Sanders could burn the brakes off damn near anybody. Gary Clark was one of the best route runners in the NFL at the time. Art Monk was the big, physical possession receiver who could catch damn near anything thrown his way. That is the definition of pick your poison.

[@logicaldude3611]

Monk barely did anything this game because he’d just come back from a knee injury that kept him out for quite some time. One key play that happened early when things looked dire, Williams hit Monk on a pass down the sideline. Monk steals it from the defender and takes off down the sideline for like 30 yards. Really helped breath life back into the team.

"The Finest QB ever to play the game" truer words were never spoken nobody before him or after did what Williams accomplished.4 second qtr td passes!!!!

[@melissah8415]

Williams played so far above himself in that game is was amazing. It's just too bad that he had not been able to play near that level all during his time with Washington. After winning the Superbowl, he "hurt himself on his treadmill" during the off season and retired. He saved the best for last.

[@dwightlove3704]

This game justified his draft status in the year of '78 he was THE ONLY QB in the first round.

[@ronin120]

I think the 91 team was better but this was a way more enjoyable Super Bowl to watch :)

[@senorpedrosrooster]

That was a juggernaut.

[@dfaircloth30]

This game was the definition of a beat down. When the Skins settled down they stomped John Elway & the Broncos. They set Super Bowl records which still stand & 35 points in 1 quarter of play in a Super Bowl will never be duplicated. The Hogs should have been MVP of that game. Or the defense: the kick the crap out of Elway.

Timmy Smith traded his football uniform for an orange jumpsuit in jail. Hail to the Redskins.

[@keithhakanson6520]

When Denver got that first TD I thought they were going to make up for what happened in Superbowl 21. Then the 2qtr happened.

[@dwightlove3704]

For Mark May to jump up in the arms of Joe Jacoby shows how big JJ was!!!!!

[@TheMrNoWeapon]

This game made black Americans proud

[@chuckers40]

It's hard to believe it's 30 years when The Redskins ambushed their way to Super Bowl XXII and their second SB win . I watched it late night, and I still get chill bumps.

[@antonewilson4310]

I still get chills.

[@gorgeoushammer]

That offensive line was one of the best ever.

[@bobgibson4913]

I Loved the Hail to the Redskins Music while the Redskins Offense exploded in the 2nd Quarter!

[@chaunseybillings5381]

I used to love elway and the Denver broncos

[@johnliberty3647]

Start of 1987... Doug Williams Back up QB, Timmy Smith 4th String RB, Ricky Sanders 3rd WR behind 2 pro bowlers.... Season ends with these 3 back up players broke Super Bowl Records.

[@dwightlove3704]

As stated before this is the only time three skill players established post season records in the same game.

[@dcbandnerd]

9:20 Let the party begin. 10:40 Charlie Taylor looking like a fan - even he can't believe what he's seeing.

[@norbertoposada3450]

Hail to the " football Team"

[@richardthomas4086]

Do you notice in all the Redskins offensive highlights #22 for Denver always seems to be chasing

[@gmcneoplan84]

I know. Poor Tony Lilly. So many of the Redskins' highlights in this game were in his area.

[@dwightlove3704]

BEVERLY HILLS COP 1984, 1987 1994. Lilly's lack of speed was exposed in this game.

[@dwightlove3704]

Richard Thomas Once again Lily's lack of basic footspeed exposed him as major liability in the Broncos defense.

[@SheltonWalden]

Yes indeed!

[@Colstonewall]

I was born a REDSKIN Fan. But, God Damn look at that throw by Elway at 4:20!! He sidearms it on a crossing route, and it looks like a missile coming out of his hands. This wasn't a shallow cross, the receiver was 35 yards away and Elway hit him in stride on a rope. He was simply amazing.

[@re8746]

I am 53 and remember this game like it were yesterday. Denver like Buffalo just could not get their act together in the big game.
