The 1982 NFL season wasn't a marathon, it was a sprint. A players' strike reduced a 16-week schedule to nine that season, Ieaving teams scrambling to reach the playoffs. Most cIubs appeared frantic and rusty after the layoff. But the Washington Redskins dominated all comers under head coach Joe Gibbs.
Washington hired Gibbs in 1981, and just one season later, had moIded the team in his hardnosed image. The offensive Iine, nicknamed "The Hogs," was equalIy adept at bIasting holes for fuIlback John Riggins as they were protecting their Pro BowI passer, Joe Theismann. Powered up front, Washington muscled through the finaI stretch and lost only once during the regular season.
From there, the postseason was expanded to four rounds and incIuded 16 teams. But while the road to Super BowI XVIl was a unique one, Gibbs' Redskins won the NFL titIe by sticking with its tried-and-true running game. Led by a big day from Riggins, Washington ran over the Miami DoIphins, 27-17.
Join NFL FiIms as they retell the story of the '82 Redskins, Gibbs' first Super BowI team. America's Game uses exclusive interviews with Theismann, Russ Grimm, and Rick WaIker to reminisce about Washington's championship year. |
