Last week, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the greatest Washington NFL team of all time. Washington went 14-2 in the regular season and stormed through the postseason en route to a win over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI.
Four years before that magical 1991 season was the 1987 Washington team. Washington finished that season with an 11-4 record and a win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII in a strike-shortened season.
It was a memorable postseason for Washington. There was future Hall-of-Fame cornerback Darrell Green’s electrifying punt return for a touchdown against the Chicago Bears in the NFC divisional round.
