1991 Divisional Playoff - Atlanta at Washington 

At the end of the game you can see the character of Jerry Glanville running off the field and not shaking hands with Joe Gibbs. Joe just kept looking for him to shake hands and eventually realized he just left. Glandville showed no class or sportsmanship. Joe Gibbs would never do that, that’s why he is respected not only for being a great football coach but also for being a great man who represented class, humility, and respect for the game. One of the all time greatest coaches ever! HTTR!

Joe Gibbs proved that you could win 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QB's. I believe he's still the only NFL coach to have done it. Gibbs was a master at building great teams on offense, defense & special teams. He never had a super star Montana / Marino level QB but the 3 he did have were all good enough to get it done.

an obscure fact: joe gibbs made the playoffs with more QB’s than anyone in history. he even managed to get Todd Collins to the playoffs in 2007 during his 2.0 stretch.

I am just here to watch Joe Jacoby #66 because I like watching guys who belong in the Hall of Fame

I've still got my seat cushion from this game.

I was at this game, never forget it. Hammer time.

My uncle Danny Copeland just had a interception love it.

1991 Skins is a top 5 all time great team. The weapons on offense were absurd and the defense was just as good.

Brett Favre at 1:53! Little did he know his life was about to change for the better that year!

I miss this era of the Redskins, such an underrated team.

I was there for this whole playoff run (the following week vs. Detroit too) and had a blast! This is when Skins football was dominant.$

This game had the greatest cornerback in NFL history. It also had Deon Sanders

This was a great Redskins team. Lot's of role players, no "stars". Awesome coaching, also.

Cowboy fan here and and tWashington will always be the Redskins and I miss RFK

The NFC was so stacked. Brutal....

Man, listen to that crowd! 🤔 RFK stadium was like no other! 💯

Damn, Joe Gibbs was wanting to shake hands with Glanville, but he ran off field without shaking hands and congratulating the REDSKINS! Hopefully they met up inside the stadium. Maybe Glanville wanted out of that wet attire?! Crazy

Thanks for posting this. I was at this game and my vcr failed to record all of it. LOL

The MVP of the Redskins in 91 was the offensive line. They protected Mark Rypien that year and allowed him to throw his signature long bombs to his receivers all season long.

This is football. Smack-mouth, mud and blood, and there was no love lost between those two teams, especially after Glandville had talked so much smack before.

Glanville made such a fool of himself in the lead up to this game, during the game and after. I think it was incidents like that that consigned him to imperishable clown status in the annals of football lore.

TOO LEGIT TOO LEGIT TO QUIT...."91 FALCONS!!!

Brian Jordan playing in his final NFL game. He would go on to play major league baseball from 1992-2006.

I miss seeing pro football players get dirty like this.

Even way back then - RFK was a relatively small NFL stadium - only seating about 56K max - but I have never been to any stadium as loud as that one - esp. for playoff games - it was just deafening - you could say even a bit unfair to visiting teams ..

Awesome upload! I was at this game. Major azz kicking. Yellow seat cushions flew at the end of it. RFK was rocking!

Brett Favre on the bench. His last game as a Falcon.

I was there, never been so soaking wet in my life! Kept my seat cushion though! I would've never thought in a million years the Redskins wouldn't play in another Superbowl for the next 30 years and counting!

I remember this game like yesterday....definitely a great one ...HTTR!

Mark Rypien threw a very nice deep ball.

I hope the (Redskins) will return to championship form in the future because their fans show loyalty. Their offensive line was known as "Hogs", and their entire team had many Hall of Famers. Joe Gibbs did an amazing job to win three SBs with three different QBs who wrote their own history with Williams being the first black QB to win a championship SB 22. I also remember their battles in the 80s inside of the NFC East during that time Dallas won three SB Washington won three SB Giants won two Eagles played in SB 15. Thank you

on an aside, I recently came across the 91 Detroit Lions video tribute on RU-vid, the one that commemorates probably their greatest season in the Super Bowl era, and I just had to comment HTTR.

Hail to the Redskins.

What separated Gibbs from other great strategic coaches was his ability to instinctively know when to forget strategy and just run right at the defense and put the nail in the coffin and bury them

I was at this game. You really don't see it on the tape. It was pouring rain.

I really liked this Atlanta team but no one and I mean NO ONE was beating the 91 Redskins, everything just came together that year for them, it was really the last great team they ever had

I don’t understand why the Falcons received so much hype that year. They looked good on paper but failed to do anything. The skins destroyed them in this game. Reminds me of those Oiler teams of the early 90s, good regular season but failed in the playoffs.

Brett Favre was on that 1991 Falcons team, would become a Packers legend in 1992

2:26:32 jerry glanville running off the field....2:36:46 Joe gibbs looking around for him to shake his hand...that moment encapsulates the reason why one was a footnote in history (glanvilleJG) and the other is an all time great (gibbs) jerry had no character or class, and ran off to pout...even if joe had lost, he'd still be looking around for the opposing coach to shake hands

Wow Glanville was telling the truth he dint even shake Gibbs hand at midfield after the game 😯

Jerry Glanville Didnt hive a damm about his linebacker being hurt. Was even joking around with another player laughing. Real piece of work.

One of the greatest redskins team in history

I turned 2 years old the day this game was played

Granville was always all hat and no cattle , where as Gibbs didn’t talk trash and had a career winning and 3 Super Bowl championships.

15 years old in 1991 now 47 as of Monday May 29 2023

Won/loss records by career: Jerry Glanville 96-121 Joe Gibbs 154-94

The Falcons had beaten my Saints that year in the playoffs, so it was so satisfying to see the Redskins knock the Legit out of 'em.

Jerry Glanville is such an a-hole. In an interview in 2021 he said he was still bitter about Joe Gibbs allegedly asking the grounds crew to leave the field uncovered leading up to this game so that it would be water-logged and slow down Glanville's "faster" team. He conveniently forgot to mention, nor did the interviewer bring it up, that Glanville's Falcons had lost to the Redskins earlier in the season on a dry RFK by 39 points (56-17)! Rypien threw SIX TD passes in that game. Glanville was lucky the field was wet for this playoff game. It was the only thing that kept the Redskins from putting up another 50 spot and allow his overmatched Falcons to stay in this game for as long as they did!!

I miss these days, hoping for some more good ones with the new owners.

2:21:00 One day, I hope my generation realizes what was taken from us and our children. Hail to our beloved Washington Redskins

43:55 block by Warren, cleaned Tuggle up real nice and neat....

The falcons really went into this game talking all kinds of trash thinking they were going to win 😂

56:00 Turnovers 4-0? Stat man must have a very short memory 😝 #HTTR always

Dancing Ron Middleton

Verne lundquist and Dan fouts.

Late in the game Washington had a very substantial lead. One of the hotshot, loudmouth, showboating, blowhard, egomaniac Falcons jumped up and started dancing and "actin a fool" after they had a good play. It was pathetic. Russ Grimm (I think) ran over and grabbed the guy and then pointed at the scoreboard. The fans went nuts.

The Redskins were in control the entire game. The Falcons defense somehow kept the score to 24 even though Chip Lohmiller missed 3 field goals and the Falcons were still in it 14-7 by halftime. That's the crazy thing. Even after all those turnovers the Falcons were still in this game, but the Redskins were just too good and too talented to lose this game.

HAMMER WAS THERE IN THE RAIN..... SATURDAY, JANUARY-4-1992.

Joe gibbs learned alot from don coryell being is OC !! Gibbs put more emphasis on the running game and motion in his version of the Coryell offense but his route concepts are similar to Coryell

Those were the days,Those were the days!!!

1:53 a Rookie Brett favre #4 on the falcons no one knew that day what that kid would go onto to do the rest of his career

2:23:08 Middleton: them Hogs 2 legit..

Hot take: this O line plus Don Warren were the best blockers of all time.

Washington has won only one single playoff game without Joe Gibbs as coach in the last 50 years.

I always wondered how much of an advantage it was for both Washington and San Fran playing games on their sloppy tracks.

From 1990-1993, an NFC East team won the Super Bowl.

2:25:25 Sidney Johnson

a hard-nose gritty football team (the Redskins) vs a bunch of primadonna poseurs (the Falcons) in an environment the latter wasn't able to handle.

Gibbs was looking for Glanville to shake hands after the game. That loser Glanville ran straight to the locker room. Gibbs was all class all the time. Greatest Head Coach in NFL History.

52:31 Rypien was pissed

I remember going to Popeyes and they had the game on in the restaurant

Can you please upload The NFC Championship game from this year?

The beginning of this game is wild jerry didnt send the team out for the the coin toss then sent the whole team out as captains and then use the other teams helmet as prop on the field 🤣🤣 91 falcons was wild 🤣🤣🤣

I still have my seat cushion from this game.

The Falcons were afraid to get dirty.

They will always be the Washington Redkins....😊

Mark Rypien puts a linebacker slam on Tim McGuyer @ 52:30

1:24:38 Clark

Wow football was so different then

2:21:00 *NOW* It's Raining!/ Ohh,,, RFK was just *magic.*

I hated Jerry Glanville. I was so happy we kicked their asses and shut the “Dirty” birds up.

Right, too legit to quit, Nice song, unfortunately not appropriate for the Atlanta Falcons for that season.

how come we played on a Saturday even though we were the 1 seed that year?

Glanville was not well liked by other coaches.... Sam Wyche of Cincinnati laid a huge whipping on him because he "hated his guts!!!!"

If only the Falcons didn't win on that stupid hail mary pass against SF. 49ers against the Redskins would have been a better game. Especially since the 49ers got hot down the stretch.

With Deion Sanders speed why is he playing 10 yards off the man he's covering? It doesn't make sense!

2:28:28 Brandes lol..

91 skins, best super bowl era team?

Lots of talk in Atlanta how Washington coaches got the grounds crew to water the field down even more adding to the heavy rain.

2:27:38 Miller whining the whole game over the muddy field lls, like dude, grow a pair, this is fucking football, smh.. 2:28:00 he got a nice touch on that ball, just thru it to the wrong team, that's all..

We need to find the 1991 nfc championship game in full

100%humidity, you mean rain?

Glanvile always talked big but it always reflected the scoreboard he changed falcons uniforms bad raider impersonator

Yeah, Right!!!!

The last time Washington was good. Very sad and now w/ the name change and possible 2nd name change why not just name them the Hogs or Skins? They need to go back to these same uniforms and slap a cool hog on the helmet. Miss this era of NFL ...real grass, real fans in the stadium, real announcers, and amazing football.

1:29:00 brilliant half time

And Men were Men..and Hog's were Hog's..First Dooown!!

Cut out the best part of the intro. Too legit to quit
