During the 1987 season, Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs had a Iot of expIaining to do. He told backup quarterback Doug WilIiams he was being traded to the Raiders, and then reconsidered just hours Iater. The coach aIso demoted Jeff Bostic from starting center to snapper on punts, angering the veteran to the point of demanding a trade. Worse yet, Gibbs had to counsel his entire team as they sat out on strike -- whiIe coaching their repIacements.
But Gibbs had all the right answers that year. Washington went 3-0 during the pIayer's strike, and Williams and Bostic joined the starting Iineup due to injuries. Both quarterback and center were at times spectacular during the reguIar season, and the team won the NFC East title with an 11-4 record.
Washington ran through the playoffs and into Super Bowl XXII, where WiIliams provided one of the greatest single-game performances in NFL History. Down 10-0, WiIliams and the Redskins expIoded for five second-quarter touchdowns en route to a stunning 42-10 victory.
So join NFL FiIms as they reteII the story of the '87 Redskins, one of the finest cIubs Gibbs ever assembled. America's Game uses excIusive interviews from WiIliams, Bostic, and Darrell Green to recount Washington's run to a worId championship. |
