1992: Washington Redskins vs Minnesota Vikings NFC Wild Card Game Remastered NFL Highlights 

Credit Gibbs for only wanting to coach the redskins

A fumbled handoff by Rypien and Brian Mitchell was the only thing that kept my Redskins from going to the NFC Championship game against Dallas.

I think they lose to Dallas but they put up a better fight than the Eagles ended up( 34-10)doing

​@@denniseverett1904 I think tbey woulda played even better against Dallas. They already beat Dallas once that year and know them much better than the 49ers.

Yeah I always hear the opposite about the 92 Redskins. Everyone says how bad they were but it's complete nonsense. They started the season 5-2 (nearly 6-1) and were 2 plays away from being 11-5 instead of 9-7, they made playoffs, won a playoff game on the road and nearly beat arguably at the time, the best team in the NFL and barely missed the NFC Championship game. All while having numerous injuries to key players all year long and including injuries to key players in the playoffs. Rypien also held out during the entire preseason which contributed to his slow start and effected his timing a lot. They had no business winning 7 games much less 9 with all those injuries. A broken up td pass on the final play against the Eagles and a Raiders 50 plus yard hail mary pass on 4th and long with under 2 minutes to play cost the Redskins the final two games of the season or they finish 11-5 and probably have a home playoff game. I wasn't disappointed in them at all that year. They played hard and overcame the odds all year long. If they were even a fraction healthier than they were, they might have been right back in the Superbowl. In my opinion Sanfrancisco was the toughest opponent they could have faced that year and they still nearly beat them. I think they would have had a better chance to win against Dallas. Regardless if they finished 11-5 or 9-7, they were gonna have to go through Sanfrancisco to get to the NFC Championship game. Only difference would have been possibly getting a home playoff game against Minnesota. They both would have been 11-5 and I don't know who would have won the tie breaker. Inconsistency and more importantly, low redzone touchdown percentage were their biggest problems, of course as well as all the injuries which contributed to both issues. They still always stood strong all year. 3 of their losses were for a combined total of 7 points. Those were a 3 point loss to Cardinals early in the season, a 4 point loss to Eagles very late in the season and the next week a 1 point loss in the last game of the season to the Raiders. They were extremely close to finishing 12-4. If they are healthy, they are an 11-5/ 12-4 team that has a very good chance of repeating.

Jack Del Rio (Commanders DC) playing for the Vikings!!

Have a beautiful recording of that very excellent game. Will share in the future, and edit with extra care. 😁

@@topoftheapple8139 . Actually Danny Copeland recovered the fumble in the endzone instead of Alvoid Mays.

​​@@RetroSkinsYeah I been looking for that one but nobody has it on youtube. Haven't seen it since I saw it live back in 92.

You tube copyright blocks sharing highlights of this game. Sorry.

No. But the highlights from the actual final win from Gibbs 1.0 are posted here.

Yes. It’s Gary Clark who is left out undeservedly.

@@RetroSkins Ok I grew up a Falcon fan ! I watched a lot of Redskins games especially playoff time because Atl sucked and never played in the playoffs in the 80s . I always respected the team! And John Riggings won a ring with Washington a former Falcon

​@@samright4661I remember Steve Bartkowski in the 80s during the Redskins glory days. Back when Atlanta was an NFC West team before they got the divisions aligned with their geographical regions. (Even though this was a decade after that QB, same difference!)

​@@samright4661Not John Riggins it was Gerald Riggs.
