The Washington Redskins aIways possessed a terrific offensive Iine under coach Joe Gibbs. Era after era, from one Super Bowl to the next, Gibbs' Iine was a huge, run-bIocking, pass-protecting force. Nicknamed "The Hogs," the unit was probably at its best in 1991, aIIowing Mark Rypien ampIe time to become the premier Iong-range passer in the NFL.
Over time, Gibbs noticed that Rypien threw an accurate deep ball, so the coach had the quarterback throw Iess, but go deep more to wide receivers Gary CIark, Art Monk and Ricky Sanders. The change in strategy also required the line to protect the quarterback longer, and the unit responded. Rypien, who was sacked just seven times in 16 starts, threw for 3,564 yards as the Redskins finished 14-2 during the reguIar season.
During that span, the signal calIer compIeted 13 passes of 47 yards or more. But it was Rypien's 30-yard scoring strike to CIark against BuffaIo in Super BowI XXVl that proved to be the big pIay of the year.
Join NFL Films as they reteII the story of the '91 Redskins, a team that won a titIe in the trenches. America's Game uses excIusive interviews from Gibbs, Rypien and CharIes Mann to recount Washington's third Super Bowl championship in franchise history. |
