Jerry Glanville sauntered into town with his new-attitude ’91 Atlanta Falcons in their new-look all-black unis, brimming with swagger and ready to give the 9-0 Redskins a fight. Glanville’s Falcons landed few punches on this day, and instead spent most of the afternoon being extras in a Mark Rypien highlight reel. Rypien and the Redskins’ offense rolled the Falcons in a game so lopsided, three of the Redskins’ seven offensive touchdowns were scored despite Atlanta committing penalties on those same plays. Ryp had a red-letter day – 442 yards and six touchdown passes (to Monk (2), Clark (3) and Terry Orr (1)), plus a rushing touchdown to cap off a seven-touchdown joyride.

As for the eighth Redskins touchdown of the day? You’ll have to ask Brett Favre about that!

Not even His Royal Smugness Randy Cross could spoil this perfect day at RFK.

Remastered from VHS to digital with apologies for the sound issues (did my best to remove some serious hiss-noise on the original recording). Also had to contend with late game rain, which always makes digital clean-up a bit more of a chore – all worth it to bring our RetroSkins Community this vintage Redskins gem!
