After the play (which seemed to take about 45 seconds), the cameras cut to Gibbs watching the play and he was laughing his head off as J. Washington ran around and finally just sorta had to stop. It looked like farmhands trying to tackle a greased pig.
I think it was in the regular season Oakland game of the '82 season (when we met them in the superbowl).

Was that the one where Theismann threw a block for him after he cut back? I think that was against the Giants, and in that game Mark Moseley kicked his then record 20th consecutive field goal to give the Redskins a 15-14 win.
