The 1983 Redskins were an incredible football team, whose one main fault was that they peaked juuuust a little too soon. The Redskins played as close to a perfect game as possible on this cold January day, putting the visiting Rams on ice, 51-7, at frigid and frenzied RFK Stadium in this 1983 NFC Divisional Playoff Game.

Joe Theismann earned a well-deserved fourth quarter ovation, throwing for 300 yards and two touchdowns (both to Art Monk), while "Downtown" Charlie Brown, John Riggins (with The Hogs!) and rookie sensation Darrell Green all had standout days. Led by nice guy John Robinson, the Rams featured class-act Eric Dickerson and our old favorite Henry Ellard on a day they'd probably rather forget.

With Pat Summerall and John Madden on the call, the good times - and the Redskins - rolled in this classic early 80's playoff gem.
