This team was 23rd in rushing yards, and 26th in yards per carry out of 26 teams that season. And yet, the run defense was so strong that Washington outran their opponents by four yards. A very good team overall, and probably the best Washington played under George Allen outside of the 1972 Super Bowl team.
Larry Brown was done, and the organization scrambled to fill the spots with outcast Duane Thomas and drafting Jon Keyworth with their top pick. If not for Sonny going out with a bang, they miss the playoffs
Man I loved this team!!!! Coach Allen the players RFK!!!
The quarterbacks were Sonny jurgensen, a Hall of famer, billy kilmer, a pro bowler in 1972, and joe theismann, an mvp and super bowl champion
