Redskins vs Bills Super Bowl XXVI 

joe gibbs 3 super bowls wins as a coach with 3 different quarterbacks. not only that 3 non hall of fame quarterbacks. we are not seeing that again in our lifetimes. most underrated coach of all time

91’ Skins was recently listed as the greatest team of all time. Had to come back and refresh my brain of our glory.

Glad to see Ernest Byner score a TD and get a Super Bowl Ring. Must have been sweet for him after Cleveland.

One of, if not the best team in history. They thoroughly dominated the entire year.

I have been a Washington fan for 45yrs and watching this game give me goose bumps because this is what our franchise is supposed to be a hard nosed football team an our owner has ruined it and has done nothing with the franchise since he bought it 20yrs ago an I just wish we could get back to playing Washington football because I'm getting tired of getting disappointed every year and the defense in this game was relentless and that's Washington football and looking at this game is just a reminder how dominant we were in the 80's and early 90's and we need to get back to that ASAP...Ijs

The last hurrah for an aging Washington squad. Modern day Over the Hill Gang

This is when Washington was a real football team,and not the mess they are today,back when Joe Gibbs coached them!

It always bothered me that Monk never got his Superbowl touchdown. A good call on the Reversal for sure, but if anyone deserved to score a TD it was Art Monk. My favorite Redskin of all time.

I remember drinking champagne outside my college apartment with my roommate after this game. We then bounced around from party to party singing the Fight Song. What a night. A couple of weeks later I met my wife and the team has been terrible ever since...

Nowadays if a team is down 27 and cuts it to 13 with four minutes left like the Bills did here it would still be considered a game, but Buffalo was so beaten down and exhausted by the time they scored their final touchdown, even though they technically still had a good amount of time to go, there was just no chance they could come back any more. The physicality of a game was just different then.

“The 1991 Redskins were understated, but overwhelming.” -Donald Sutherland narrating America’s Game documentary

Washington was crushing them.wide outs.Joe Gibbs greatest coaching job.I seen.in a super bowl

This is a seriously intense game. Every hit by the Redskins is coming from someone leaping or running towards and knocking the shit out of them

Wow the redskins looked good. And my gosh Rypien slung that ball. One thing I’ve noticed is how many things this game that would’ve been a holding or a PI or a late hit or roughing the passer.

I love the hitting in this game.

The disparity between the NFC and the AFC (in that era) was never more apparent than in this game. The Bills in 91 were an absolute phenomenon in the AFC, and when it came time to play the best of the NFC, their offense was completely pushed around like little children (until Washington went into a shell defense late).

In the mid-80s to mid-90s the NFC Championship game *was* the Super Bowl.

This would mark the last Super Bowl to be held in Minnesota until Super Bowl 52.

Best Redskins team ever in 1991. Joe Gibbs era at it's finest. Art Monk. what a player. My Fav Redskin player of all time.

This game was NOWHERE near as close as the final score made it seem.

The Redskins defense applied physical and psychological warfare on the Bills' high octane offense in this game. Whether their receivers caught the ball or not they were punished with crushing hits by the corners and safety. Jim Kelly was getting hammered in the pocket. By the third quarter Kelly was seeing stars and his receivers were alligator-arming passes thinking more about the hit coming than catching the ball 😂 That kind of defense would never be allowed today.

My Washington Redskins was once such a great and proud team. Hopefully a new owner very soon will help bring that back.

My Buffalo Bills caused the four most potent NFC teams at their most strongest moments and in that game just had to be the Super Bowl we never stood a chance

I remember thinking the Redskins were in trouble after all those red zone mistakes in the first quarter. Turns out it didn't matter.

People make fun of and focus on the 4 losses in the Super Bowl for Buffalo but look at who they played. This Redskins team was objectively one of the best in history. The Cowboys were a dominant dynasty that almost won 4 titles in a row. The “worst” team they faced was the Giants in their first attempt. Those Giants had a great running game, a HOF all time great head coach, and oh yeah, the greatest defensive player to ever play football. Buffalo still game within a missed reasonable field goal of winning that one, too. The Super Bowl hangover is real. Especially for the team that lost. Buffalo was able to regroup after playing 3 or 4 extra games and suffering extreme disappointment 3 years in a row. The NFC won the Super Bowl 13 years in a row. Most of them were by 2, 3, 4, or even 5 touchdowns. They were 1 of 2 AFC teams to keep it within single digits and obviously came the closest to snapping the losing streak.

Happy 30th anniversary super bowl victory HTTR for life💪🏾🐐

Man! I'm a Bills fan and it pains me to see how brutal that defense was to my team that year 😖

Giants fan here. One of my favorite superbowls

I remember watching this game and watching Marv Levy yell 'You guys got paid!' at the refs as the players were running off the field at the end of the first half.....

1994 niners vs 91 redskins wouldve been classic game best 2 teams of the 90s , yeah dallas won 3 titles but for one season niners and skins were the best of 90s.

Rypien had a great year. I miss those days before the world got weird as hell

The only game or SuperBowl where i picked the exact score.

What a game this was! Good old fashioned ass whuppin'. The Bills had not an iota of a chance in this one really. That season was one of the finest seasons an NFL team could have offensively. The Saints teams that won the SB with Brees reminded me of this 'Skins team.

Happy 30th Anniversary to Super Bowl 26 Champions, Washington Redskins. Seems like yesterday to me.

Jim Kelly got pummeled in this game.

When men played the game and the league wasn’t as soft. I miss my team the Redskins RIP.

The Skins dominated on both sides of the ball. Their defense, especially the secondary, lead by D. Green, swarmed like hornets and kept teams punting all day. Mark Rypien was crazy accurate on the deep ball. Monk, Clark and Sanders were a perfect trio of WRs. Deadly!! Damn I loved that team!!

These dudes are HITTING...makes today's game look like a Q tip. Soft on both ends...

I remember watching this game with my dad and his friends when I was 9.

Hail to the Redskins

If Washington can do this to a Bills team of future HOF’ers, god only knows how Denver might have fared if Treadwell made any of those 3 FG’s in the AFC title game.

Can we please change the name back to the Redskins??? This is coming from a Cowboys fan!!

I watched this with friends at my dear friend Steves' house. He's been gone now three years. I miss him everyday.

They’d put Brad Edwards in prison in 2021 for the plays he made in this game. Man possessed snatching souls and collecting bodies for 60 straight minutes. The real MVP of SB 26

Making it to 4 Superbowls in a row and not getting a win.. That’s a pain that never goes away. That’s some Finkle and Einhorn level pain. NFC East is to blame.

CBS's last SB telecast until SB XXXV.

I remember going to school and everyone was wearing Redskins hoodies sweat shirts and starter jackets man we were good!

Awww, the glory years. It was so great being a Redskins fan in the 80s and early 90s. Even when they didn't make the playoffs they still went like 10-6. Then the Snyders years happened....

If you want a master class in stifling defense, look no further than the Redskins in this game. Every receiver for the Bills was covered with bullseye precision.

Joe Gibbs kept unleashing RB after RB on the Bills

That 91 Redskins team possibly they greatest team of all time.

I was 10 watching first Bills Super Bowl , I became a fan after watching them grown men holding hands on the sidelines when Norwood ripped it wide right, I felt so bad I been a fan since. No team has had worse luck than the Bills. Music City Miracle, Stevie Johnson dropping a TD pass for playoffs, 13 seconds, so many let downs . I just want 1

1991 Redskins are one of the most underrated teams

LOVE all the unflagged LATE HITS 1:38. 4:45. 12:04. etc. REAL football, back when they let the players INJURE each other!

Some seasons have the wrong team winning the Super Bowl. That's what can happen with a one game playoff system. But it wasn't wrong in '91. The 'Skins looked like the best team right out if the gate. 5 defensive shutouts in first 5 games is dam impressive too!

This was an ass beating. Skins defense was crazy good

It's been toooooo long HTTR!!! 4 EVER!!!

Bar none the greatest single team inn the history of the NFL.

Hail to the Redskins hail victory braves on the warpath fight for Old DC

Tomorrow, 26th, will be Washington's 30th anniversary of their last good season, resulting in a Super Bowl victory ✌️. Great memories from the Joe Gibbs first time around, since then nothing but false hope and disappointment. HTTWR

Feels so good being a Washington RedSkins Fan sometimes.

Never bet against Joe Gibbs

If Scott Norwood had only made the field goal for the game winner in the SB prior to this one, a lot of fans would view these Bills differently. As for me, I still rate these Bills as one of the greatest teams of all time. I mean 4 straight Super Bowls is crazy. The Bills beat Elway and the Broncos in the AFC championship to get to this one. The next year the Bills would beat Marino and the Dolphins in the AFC championship, and then for their fourth straight SB the Bills would beat Joe Montana and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship. The Bills were clearly good enough to win one last game in four attempts. It just didn’t go their way each time.

To many drops! Buffalo has a lot of chances to score more points!

Kelly was off all game and got his ass kicked all game but still fought hard til the bitter end. Every hit was vicious. His receivers dropped way too many passes.

Bills fan here..I remember this game should've recovered two onsides..we will win one

THE COMPLETE SUPER BOWL TEAM OF ALL TIME 👍 HAIL TO THE REDSKINS !

I like the new bills helmets but I would love to see a retro look of these

Great times…

Man, Jim Kelly was under fire big time all day.

some really good punting in this one

No one was going to beat that Redskins team that year in the Super Bowl. They should be included in the all time greats discussion.

No matter how hard it gets with me being a packer fam seeing my team never making it to the super bowl but so a game close. Nothing can be worse then being a bills fan in the early 1990s

Watching these old Bills teams in the 90s, I remember I really used to hate them because I was a big Dolphins fan, but lots of respect for them now going to the Super Bowl 4 times, just couldn’t close the deal once they got there. Ran out of gas.

Great memories of super bowl,, Never be the same,,, old true REDSKINS

I miss Pat Summerall/John Madden calling games. Those were magical times for sure!

This is my favorite play all Super Bowl 26 🏈 21:10

I always felt washington got away with a little too much holding in both the o line and the secondary this game. But that was the game back then. In todays game they would have racked up a lot of penalty yards for sure.

This my favorite year as a Redskins fan. It was the last year we had a powerful offense. We have not had one since with one exception. RGIII. Doug Stoliker

#58 outside linebacker Wilber Marshal picking up his 2nd ring after the 85 Bears

super great edit job, thank you! my memory of this game was that redskins handles them really well. but, watching the 1st quarter again and No! it was back and forth.

15:40 ref running off the field right after marv levy told him “you’ve been bought.”

Man it must've been demoralizing for the opponent fans the way we totally dominated teams that year

When Kelly did have time, he was terrible. No zip half the time and not on target. Redskins were by far the better team

As a Chiefs fan all I can say is….. Hail to the REDSKINS!

Ahhhhhh good old fashioned football before the league got soft...pretty much every other play you can see a myriad of penalties...lol There's blatant holding happening...late hits...pass interference...unecessary roughness...unsportsmanlike conduct....AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

When Andre Reed threw his helmet after he interfere with, that took Bills out of the game.

I remember these days! 3 super bowl victories in less than 10 years. My Redskins are gone and Brady is gone. I have zero reason to watch the NFL. I can honestly say 'I'm done.' Its all ghetto now.

My memory really failed me with this game. I forgot what a defensive struggle this was in the first quarter.

That was a hit you in the mouth old school team i miss that

now these washington commanders knew how to win! 🤣🤣

Why did Washington opt to turnover on downs in their final possession instead of kicking one more field goal to make it 40 - 24? They were on the Bills 22 yard line and the turnover on downs stops the clock whereas a field goal will at least drain a few more seconds than a kneel - and then a kickoff can kill even more clock? Even without 2 point conversions back then, going from a 13 point lead to a 16 point lead is definitely not running up the score, even with mere seconds left. Especially when the Bills all of the sudden woke up and scored 14 points in 2 minutes with a successful onside.

He forgot his helmet and they act like that lost all 4 quarters of the game…

After Monk’s TD is overturned and Redskins blow the FG, they intercept Kelly on the next play. Then Bills #47 makes three straight solid plays. Nice tackles on the running play and the reverse and then the INT on the tipped pass. Great series for #47!

The constant blitz up the middle is why the shotgun was invented

Both teams struggled mightily in the early goings of this game with turnovers, but once the Redskins' offense began to turn on the switch it was all over for the Bills. Didn't help matters that Bills jumped the gun on the opening kickoff & then RB Thurman Thomas mislaid his helmet on the sidelines and missed the Bills' 1st two plays on offense. Those early miscues should've been an early sign that the Bills, once again, were destined, it seemed, to come up short. By the time they scored those 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter the game was practically out of reach. The '91 Washington Redskins were one of the most dominant teams ever. For that season, anyway.

4 pass interferences not called on the redskins in the first half was all you need to know about this game.

The Washington DBs were there early…..all night….refs let it go….bills didn’t have a shot

How did Kelly survive this game. Dam my Skins we’re high powered

As a life long Cowboys fan. Since the 70’s. Joe Gibbs is a top 3 to 5 all time coach. As said earlier 3 SB wins 4 appearances with no hall of fame QB. Always great running game & good DEF. Good QB’s. Traded 1st rd pick for years for players they wanted. Good GM there also. In a competitive nfc east. Then how many nascar championships.
