Re: "The Quarter"
On the play that Williams got hurt late in the 1st quarter, at the time I thought that the refs blew the whistle early. Williiams fumbled the ball as he writhed in pain, yet he was never downed by a defender. Thankfully, the ref on the scene blew the play dead, or Denver would have had the ball deep in Skins territory, already up 10-0. The injury (and seeing Schroeder QB the next series) seemed to break Williams out of his funk, and the rest was a quarter for the ages. No team will EVER amass 350+ yards in a quarter - pre-season, regular season, or post-season. It may have been the most perfect football ever played.

Re: "The Quarter"
Some NFL network or ESPN show a few weeks back had that as the best Super Bowl moment ever.
Also, in that game there is another thing I won't forget which I believe was the turning point. If you remember, the first time the broncos had the ball they socred a TD. Skins fans were stunned. Next time Broncos have the ball they are just marching down the field again like we aren't there. On third down around the 11, Elway calls a qb draw and looks like he's going into the end zone untouched. From a pile, up reaches the huge paw of #65, DAVE BUTZ and pulls him down from behind. Denver did get the 3 pts but we held them and it gave us hope. Otherwise, we are down two scores in the first qtr and looking at doom. Without a doubt, the 2nd qtr was the finest 15 minutes of football I've ever seen, but Dave Butz kept us alive when we needed it. I always remind people that as amazing as scoring 5 TDs in one quarter sounds, I tell them you have to remember we had to give back the ball after every score. So we would score, give them the ball - the D would hold. Get the ball back and Score again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Re: "The Quarter"
Dave Butz might have been the most underrated Redskin in history. The guy was an absolute stone wall against the run. I don't recall the stop on Elway, but holding Denver to a FG at that moment certainly kept the Skins in the game before the fireworks in the 2nd quarter.

Re: "The Quarter"
Monk had a clutch 3rd and long catch on along the left sideline which kept us from punting again early in the game. HUGE play.

Re: "The Quarter"
I love the name NFL films gave that game.
They called it "The Ambush at Super Bowl XXII" or something like that. |

Re: "The Quarter"
Also my favorite game. (The 340 is Doug Williams' passing yardage for the game.)
I also remember they announced that the D changed their cleats after Denver got their FG. I had such a strong feeling that it would help the D that I remember it to this day. In addition, this game was the last great birthday present my father got. |

Re: "The Quarter"
I hate Dallas so much that I cannot say that this was my favorite game, as I relish playoff wins over the Cowpies more.
This was, though, the most impressive and amazing Skins game that I have ever seen.
