Washington Redskins Crush Dallas Cowboys 37-10 in Final Game at RFK Stadium 12-22-96

this is a Fox Sports presentation today we say goodbye to one of the great NFL stadiums of all time a stadium with images that cannot be forgotten thirty men together can't lose silver go straight back to being what told you positive great names great memories regular season comes so does the 35 year history of RFK Stadium if a stadium could only talk the RFK Stadium site between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins another sellout no prai's there they've had them since the beginning okay Stadium what a place it is that some Hall here with John Madden and it's sad in many ways to be a part of the goodbye to this great arena but it's an honor to be included yeah it's a real honor and I think right now there's no place that I would rather be right now than right here at RFK Stadium and because we've seen so many great players and so many great games here and I know it has to be a special meeting for you because the first game that was ever played here you kicked the ball off in the first game you also scored the first extra point and you made the first field goal here at that time it was DC Stadium that was a long long time ago they've got one more to play today the Dallas Cowboys against the Washington Redskins doesn't mean much to Washington but what kind of game you think it'll be well you know the Redskins are getting frustrated I mean at one point they were seven and one and another point they're eight and three and and they thought that this was going to be a meaningful game and they're frustrated that they're playing their last game here in our FK and it really doesn't mean anything now on the other side to the Cowboys there early in the week Barry Switzer said is like a bye week and - took it back that he is going to rest a lot of his players today Troy Aikman isn't starting at quarterback Wade Wilson will be the starting quarterback and Matt Smith isn't even active today so we're not going to see all the Cowboys but Barry Switzer did say said we want to rest some players we're looking towards next week in the playoff but we want to win today and you know John perhaps in the history of the NFL certainly in modern history there has been no rivalry like the one between these two teams the chant went up just moments ago we want Dallas we want Dallas will they're going to get them and the Redskins are going to get the ball first as baño land the Dallas kickoff team are out on the feet and Mitchell here Chris Boni always had he should be the most bang this year's edition of the Dallas Cowboy you know Nate Newton was saying last night that you know how every year the quarterback will buy gifts for the office running back and said this fits Chris baño and Mitchell and let's look at the offense gus Farhat who beat out Heath Shuler way back in training camp has had a good year not great but good some changes in the offensive line for Daanish the left tackle Trey Johnson Yulin ache Joe patented right guard and it's Simmons returns at offensive right tackle assured Ehlert Westbrook and Terry Allen deep Kevin Smith let's look at the Dallas defense new faces there Shantae Carver murder McCormick and Tony Casillas and Tony Tolbert up front Chad Hennings didn't make the trip Darrin Smith Fred Strickland and Randall Godfrey the linebackers Sanders George Teague Woodson and Smith sorry very much Elvis and a couple of yards you know it's interesting on that play path the Redskins got the Cowboys in the formation that made Deion Sanders a linebacker and then they tried to run right at him but Allen got Scott before he ever got the Deion Sanders but that was an interesting thing by getting a receiver out on this side and motioning him the other way Deion Sanders didn't run with him and he got some time in the lineup and ended up in a linebacker location three wide receivers he's in a linebacker location again Deion Sanders made the stock along with and they're gonna work on Beyonce if you're going to do anything I'm dancing here's Dion's in here you want to come up bring him in a little and then a work inside he's got to work deep on and he's tough to work out on but here's the thing that you can do you can bring them in and then give a move like that and then go to the inside that's a pretty good move there by Bill Brooks Erie pities that came back repeat them when the flea-flicker doesn't work the quarterback just ought to hold onto it I think Trey Johnson got there his big balls on it his big ball kind of the balls gonna come out of there flat in the old days when there used to be a football and then inside the football they had a platter I plan to get the bladder out of there well I as a child but I've also sometimes the bladder came out the side now what does it it is gonna be a hand off then hello close it back to front and he drops the ball now right there he should have just gotten down and then he's trying to do so I have no idea what he's trying to do there but you're right it was trade Johnson but not his whole bulk he didn't really give his bulk on it he got maybe the bulk of his he was the first man to get there Pat's those two LarryBoy hey gets a little not much not only we did the first game of the season north turner were so excited about mary buonasera he it had a real good training camp and a real good preseason but once they started playing the regular season they knew all the changes and blitzes and different defenses I kind of got to him so they haven't played a much and then Mark Logan was injured last solution more Lily driver safe back at all for Westbrook good news about that is is the front had plenty of time maybe they really had excellent pass protection in the and the Cowboys had no pass rush the rest of the good news is that Westbrook didn't get hurt I know it look at that first shot that he takes by Kevin Smith and he's going to come to the inside I'll tell you that football when you do hold it that long and throw it in there it's gonna draw a whole bunch of different colored jerseys guys had a good year Matt Turkey a very strong way the Eagles when he started a pun that date Lord Alice that watch the Eagles who are in the playoffs defeat the Arizona Cardinals that is a final let's go to the lineups for Dallas Wade Wilson will open at quarterback George Hackerman in place of today at left tackle Newton Donaldson Larry Allen the rest is that you Wilson and a gets back there is a line of scrimmage let's look at the Washington defense this is where they've had their problems rich Owens Shawn Gilbert William Gaines opening at one of the defensive tackles woods the other defensive end Patton Stevens and Harvey the linebackers and the secondary Darryl Greene Richard Walker and Carter in Pittsburgh 18 to 14 nothing our Fox television center Carolina bound by how will they stop Cornell food and the Steelers we're on board down Jan Kota picks off stories of the Panthers San Francisco will host Philadelphia makes me like to Pat and John nothing nothing at rfk for Christmas John there will be right after this one will be highway 40 so Simon going across the country pulled out too soon walk off five against Dallas to save a snap we'll start by the office number 69 five-yard penalty remains third down and hockey lays the referee by the way go ahead John I'm sorry I was just saying it's going to be you know it'll be good do to be able to go home and be home for Christmas and of course the a game out there will be the the Eagles in the 40 means a Green Bay has a their division we'll play Minnesota so here's a playoff picture first-round match-ups Minnesota at Dallas Philadelphia at San Francisco Green Bay and Carolina gets the byes yeah I wonder how many people pick this one down here picked if it was there and when I got then it wasn't there used to be said like Carolina here yeah I wonder how many how many people pick Carolina the Western Division I wonder how many people really knew the was even in the Western Division not a lot see what a job they've done they really have by Mitchell after a 40-yard punt by John gen Troy Aikman NFL Sunday is brought to you by Southwest Airlines with their solo you have the freedom to go places by the new Coors Light widemouth can tap the Rockies with a smoother for and by the Braun flex integral designed to perform better one of the names in the circle of Honor here at RFK Stadium John Riggins and there's the legendary Rigo then you talk about moments here and RFK and things that you remember I think that's one of my biggest family running behind those bars oh never forget that that was football than anything yeah you know then you were talking I mean the grass and then the big running back and here's one of those clogs right there Russ Grimm one of the all-time hogs easy tight end coach now for the Washington Redskins he had a Christmas card from Rigo he was showing an impact us at practice yesterday yeah I was predator Christmas card we go picture of himself in a bathtub in a bathroom that had no wall renovate takes the pass from floor and Deion Sanders it looks like that back in Pat yeah looked like it tightened up and that's exactly what it's doing every here he is and and and he goes up here to hit Michael Westbrook and he gets a Porsche and again I think it's just a movement and right there at the end I don't think it's to anything where he was hit or anything but you can tell it's a spasm or a gist but he stayed in there yeah the reception my team back spasm that he had out in Arizona I don't think I've ever seen anything like that yeah it happened in the pregame warmup and he's having one right now and I would think if I were the Cowboys I would get him out of there I would to think if I were the Redskins I would go to work on him and I really have a feeling that neither side knows that he's just a spasm and take it out by Darren Smith because remember Deion Sanders in that game I know you know he takes a lot of criticism for this and that but when you take a cornerbacks in this leg he's the best and I don't think that anyone is going to argue about that but you know it does attack was he tough is he all those things that effort in Arizona you'll react that back spasm and had it take the medications honor to finally came around and he came in and played in that game what is necessary it's hard by French victim and knockdown I talked about a guy's had a good year Fred Strickland and middle linebacker I think that has really really helped the middle of that defense I mean they they miss Leon left obviously in there and and I think they miss Charles Haley and that's that's a big thing they don't get the big Pass where a Strickland has helped them against the run and and the Dallas Cowboy defense has gotten more aggressively going to more blitzes now without Leon Latin Charles Haley three wide receivers Michell life will not be enough for a first down but it might get him in field go away I think it did get them in field goal range and and and one thing that has to be a big plus for for North corner one is EO is getting that Simmons back there that right tackle bit he does have good pass protection today when the cowboy is really better than that flea-flicker thing which was kind of just a mixed up play D the cowboys really haven't gotten close to Gus brought yet Scott Blanton back to try a field goal of 41 yards the redskins field possible were there to kick his flag on the play but before the snap false start on the offense under 73 my family remains fourth down so it's a 46-yard field goal attempt coming up Daryl Ashmore is the man who moved I think that was a smart thing by Scott Blanton no and and you know all kickers try and do that I mean he heard that whistle but he still kicked it because he wants to get into a rhythm now of course that rhythm has to include five more yards but that's like being if you were a golfer being able to to hit one before you hit your tee shot you know to hit a warm up type of shot to get in some kind of rhythm which I have no idea what I'm talking about getting in any critter because I've never been in one in my life but I know that's the way kickers think there's a correct rhythm you 3-nothing Redskins many of the former players those great players there's one right there Dexter family hey good to see you next door it's not pleasure to see you guys this one's going to be missed at RFK Stadium you and John met make this tradition what it is and I'm just so thankful to come back to Washington and do the Dexter managed to save step out drugs and illiteracy I've made a mistake I want to stop other kids from making the same mistake now thank you very much in congratulation thank you good to see you thank you Kevin Williams on the kickoff return Washington leading three nothing I saw you down there in the field in the pregame with Sonny Jurgensen and and Billy Kilmer and boy I'm hostile you guys look like you I was watching you look like you enjoyed some great stories way he was sharing some of our memories on the field and off was that lost snap into Sonny jerky Sonny pulled out they said you're short on me again a cigar boy almost intercepted it yeah we talk about all the old Washington Redskins and great Washington Redskins there's one right there Darrell Green he's an amazing guy if 14 years in this league and he lines up on Michael Irvin and heck of a job doing that the game lasts I have Michael Irvin only caught one pass one pass for five yards here they call pass interference are holding on him right there must be that left hand there I I think you gotta let him do something I mean you can't take all the physicalness away from him from a defensive back and dental greens not one of the more physical guys in this football about tirado John he's a guy who will never be old how long he plays sorry ass when were in his jailbreak behind the blocking of bait Newton and Larry he has a little burst in there didn't he I'm thinking about rodeos but watch Nate Newton here here he is here he's going to start he's a left guard he's going to pull to the right he's seeing that at one point he's going to boom right there is gonna kick out the first thing he sees the first thing he saw was number 99 ROC Stevens and he just knocked him down through giving their kitchen window and complete his intended receiver down Johnson fell down after the ball was in the air you see that past protection one of the reasons that Eric Williams has always been such a a good pass protector is because he gets his hand up quickly now what the first thing you want to do is when that ball snap you want that hand to come up right now you don't want to be late getting off on the ball you see him right there in fact he has what was north turner palmer yesterday which is a quick twitch when the gets away from one tackler just to the 40 so powerful run blocker did you see what he did to Tony what's that yes I did I mean he could just take a guy and then just boom he'll just boom into him watch if he just booms in right there and then turns him that way that's the way you create an old boom right there now watch him turning I mean he hit him so hard that he turned him initially yep and he turned them with his boom then he moved his feet that's textbook was but I still think you else Wilson and he's going to get the first down no slide from Wade he'll wait Wilson hasn't taken a snap all year well he did take a snap he really remember when Troy Aikman got a contact lens knocked out wait Wilson came in and did run a drop way but he said he really hasn't it really hasn't played any since the last preseason game hey is there any looking forward to that I know I mean though this is this is what players want to do there he found the lane fake where the ball knew where the first down marker wasn't just put his head down and went and got it and say he's gonna chart I have no idea what is charting nobody else does laughs right on got a charge he does the other grade that a a flow F catch he's given grades over there's no way that Michael Irvin should drop that ball no way all right let's he's up on top there he's going against Darryl Greene he's gonna come up and just do a hook move he makes a nice roll and he lets the ball get into him that's why you have to catch a ball out in front so in and hit him right there his shoulder pad rod Stephens made to hit the initial hit bird now we're talking to north turner need and the thing is that that they need next year in need and the first thing that he said is defense about well the first thing he said he wants to keep the players that he has that are going to be free agents get them signed right includes just for Terry Allen there's two corners and get some more defensive out Wilson back can't there Hilda screamed and get out there now but he didn't get out there I think it had to be Sherman Williams because the line was it was as the key free agents you were talking about yeah these are two offense of course Terry Allen and Gus fraud and then the three defensive guys Shawn Gilbert and then his two corners and of course one via Darryl Greene and Darryl Greene and the Washington Redskins just kind of go together yeah I don't think Darryl Greene is going down this negotiating power surprise show me the table my goal taking care of his own tape job well he had a a tape John a job underneath the glove that they took off and they put the glove back on and he's taping that left thumb again he had again it was taped before he took the glove off took the tape and then taped over it because again Davis now Wendell Davis just went in there at that right corner for Deion Sanders Charles Williams number 42 is at the left corner for Kevin Smith and Roger Martin is that to safety a for Darren Woodson kavika Pittman is now in there at right defensive end and Broderick Thomas's moved over to left defensive end like six defensive changes on this back to Terry Allen there's Charles man just down at the bottom of your picture when Alan ran out of bounds there's a gate at Terry Allen oh you go around the league and everyone has respect for for Terry Allen yeah you talk about the guy they have to stop at any time they ever talk or anything about the Washington Redskins it's been Terry I know that everyone who likes in this fence even know that if they're going to stop the Redskins have to stop him first he's a tough guy that's right they Cowboys blitzed on me on the left side they had two guys blitzing their Allen was going to run into it and and he just went to the other side I mean what here here it's good that you're gonna get the Blitz here and he just runs over there you see the Blitz right there he just saw it felt it and ran away from it yep and by getting away where they blitz to that means that the other side has to be a soft side first and ten arrested yeah when the Redskins were really going well Terry Allen was going well and he was a with score and touch that in the fact Terry Allen has won for 18 touchdowns this year that's kind of the good news for the Redskins and he's been such a big part of their offense but the other nose you see the first eight in the last seven games that kind of tailed off there as the whole team did but the bad news is he's a free agent after the season and I'm not sure that they're going to get him side thirty-five making you just get the idea that the Redskins are know how to play against the Cowboys I remember last year they beat them twice here's Carrie Allen right here that the north learner knows this team and he knows what to do against him you know and he just knows it those little things underneath those crossing routes you know different guys have given the problem with that that one there was deflected watch his pad it's going to be deflected right here just changes a little right there just do not but it didn't make any differences still got to Terry Allen play against this team detached but there's a bride one see after you get some running go and then you can go to that play pass where you where you fake the run keep those linebackers up in there and then throw the past is against the Cowboys the pass is complete anyway Williams again as a corner over there that you took Kevin Smith's place he was a guy that they worked on on that play this new fall they smash the defense in the 42 to 15-yard penalty from the end of the run pushed down and that's that's Charlie Williams right there and that's the guy that they not only worked on but he got the penalty right there you see him he just he just put the hand in there grabbed it and then jerked it I think putting the hand in there and grabbed is probably a five-yard penalty but when he got the jerk on Henry Allen then that became a 15-yard penalty and the pass was complete anyway where this seven class players have talked bypass already today seven different player the other part of that is north turner well I figure really an excellent offensive game when he gets in a rhythm himself he gets the ball to a lot of different guys I am setup not sideway with the tackle and of the first quarter let's games later Dallas 5-yard line Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by dr. pepper in a local Dr Pepper bottler dr. pepper is just what the doctor ordered epic holidays mas Pat Summerall with John Madden when all of us have cops I think this is the best we got you can't beat that was seven out of seven and that was the first incomplete pass that he's had in eight games I remember early in the season in pre-season in fact north turner brought it up to me yesterday when when they had gusts fought and he Schuler and they didn't know who the starter was and I made a statement that I always says when you have two quarterbacks that we have none yeah but if you really have one quarterback you have one and then you know it's not two anyway and North Turner told me yesterday is I want to tell you now he said we have one works ward 7 six-four witson got in there Tony Casillas came flying around corner to here's Tony Casillas and you just watch what he does you see he's gonna he's going to start up and then he comes to the outside here comes Woodson and then right off for that comes Casillas have they didn't they didn't get Woodson blocked at all his Wendell Davis back there that's that's one way to do it and in doing so that Michael Westbrook is so big Davis goes to Oldham grabs him and hurts himself still go is good and the redskins elite at six nothing 6-nothing Redskins Kevin Williams and Herschel Walker back deep New York attends my picture of RFK Stadium in me the finality we'll be another football game played here Dallas Cowboy team about he's been closed Herschel Walker as a kickoff return you really better plus these got them a lot of big plays Herschel Walker right here watch here's the wedge the first thing you have to do is get up into your wedge follow your lead no one touches them it's not that he broke any tackles or anything there were no is there they were all blocked until they finally catch him from behind no one touch Herschel Walker 6070 hours plus the man for 63 yards of a so does Kevin Williams and that stun Walker and there's a guy get ready to talk to us who had some some great games here at RFK Pat Fischer one of your memories well this is just it's fun to be back and see the that the Dallas Cowboys and bring back some wonderful memories the excitement of having to go to Dallas ever to win Division the constantly asked that question and who was the toughest to play guys that allows yessum who was a toughest players they say Pat Fisher yeah we had a lot of fun Bob Hayes great friend now but always whether or not you can beat the Dallas Cowboy well thanks Pat good luck thank you so much was the ball-carrier last play Wade Wilson is bending this Lake for 16 years yeah and hasn't started a heck of a lot of games played with a you know a lot of teams but remember remember he they played a championship game when he played for Minnesota he gets arrested let's get speedo to create Darren Nelson get the first down they're celebrating a lot of things here today and they're celebrating me the Redskins on this play here stopping the run they say you defense defense that's good defense or celebrating the the last game here at RFK and among other things - 35 and as we said over here the Cowboys wouldn't be in the playoffs I mean it's again he is made 27 consecutive field goals new record he's been just outstanding Fox NFL Sunday has brought you by Cadillac and your Cadillac dealers by visa the preferred car to the NFL visa it's everywhere you want to be and by Philips Magnavox bringing the power of the Internet you just hit that 35-yard field goal about ready to kick it off six three the Redskins lead down down at the 30 right now from McDonald's game break let's return to James Brown and our Fox television Center Alaska trying to place spoilers of Jacksonville's playoff hopes mrs. 30 the Jacksonville and joy and so Jacksonville as well as Carolina in the playoffs that would have been something that you've all said before the season to get to we'll both be in the playoffs and one of them will win their division when the division that the 49ers are in is it that something now they both of those organizations yeah I've done that standing job I mean they did an outstanding job when they put their teams together and chose their coaches and staffs and did everything well I have a good job in the free agent market and then good job of drafting then it makes a lot of these other game look bad I mean they can come in start up a whole team in two you be in the play you see Franklin he spelled down right here but he got hit and let's see he's he's perpendicular to the line I mean he was he was square and he got knocked into perpendicular if I saw that you're gonna see Fred Strickland he's right here but that's as that as that big load comes in there he's going to get knocked perpendicular see him square he's square e square now he goes to hit look he got knocked perpendicular yes he did when you could knock when you can knock the middle linebacker perpendicular you can always make yardage I hit my boy that's Terry Allen cut down by Casillas there's another guy who's played very well Cowboys Tony Casillas I know it and you know in the time that they needed Daddy Casillas they you know they were able to to pick up some guys as a Tony Casillas AAA Broderick Thomas a George T Fred Strickland those kinds of guys you know they have really helped this team and and it's it's baño that we talked about in the other part of the equation is it Wow things that they're still playing Charlie Williams is a corner Wendel Davis is playing that other corner because they want to rest Deion Sanders and Kevin Smith that when they go to nickel then they have to put those guys in it comes Darren woods and see that bringing Woodson in now to add Kevin Smith coming in and then and he went off but they're still going to have to play when you go to go six or seven defensive backs bill Bates isn't even active today for the Cowboys wide receivers - his car get the first down he's close to it he's marking the ball gonna have to get a different but he should have marked it before he he went out I mean not after you go out see because he's going to see the marker right there you see there's a rent that he has to stay in front of the red thing there and he stepped on the wrong side I think I think really that should be short watch where that foot is if that red thing is accurate he is short well if it's kinda you know what point in the red I would say that he is I'd say that the Redskins are gonna go for it on fourth down what the heck right there you see that right foot right there that's how much he left if he would have been there it would yep that snake and that should Santa forgot the dollars here last night you making toys and stopping his beard we'd be ready in a few days somebody got a beard in their Christmas package there there it is there's a lot of hog that was his beard in the front on the side and in the jack what would you do if that thing came down your chimney I would come say Oh Merry Christmas I doubt it just as he released henry Aled the intended receiver well guess who I was saying the other day that you know he's not sure if he's experienced enough to pull a team out of a tailspin you know if he knows what to do yeah you know that these he's playing he's a real honest guy and he said I'm not sure if I know how to do it is this my fault there were seven won't wind up like this or you know what can I do about it the cherry George taken Darren Smith Johnson he felt a pursuit he sure does and then even Neil part of it is hanging out of there next Sunday we will be at 3com Park in San Francisco at 3:30 Eastern Time 12:30 Pacific just across the bay from the home of John Madden right it'll be nice to be there and I'm sure that Ray Rhodes is looking forward to that I remember once this season he said he would love to play the fool railroads their defensive coordinator Michels at the carry Rhodes Eagles looking so strong early yeah sure he wants to well I'm sure he's happy to be on the play and he wants to go against the 49ers and play here what we have is do the Redskins in North Turner wanna go for it on fourth down that last fourth down was easy because where's 4th down and inches because it go for a quarterback sneak this is fourth and four this is a passing situation the Cowboys this works boys Winston and he can get back and he can get rid of the ball quickly so efficiency he's gonna come back and just throw this way one two three step boom floor it right in there that's a perfect throw he looked all the way and you knew exactly what was going to it and no pass rush is going to get there and there's no hand Sanders governor yes Henry they'll think this is one of the the toughest passes in football deal bootleg when you get the quarterback move it he's moving out to his right and he was looking for his crossing fight in and then coming to the sideline to Henry Ehlert and reality working a comeback over there and Charlie Williams and Henry Allen over the years has worked a lot of outs and a lot of comebacks in this league a bunch Westbrook just to slam gets healthy and he can stay healthy he has a chance to be dsgs to be a scar he certainly has all the physical tools well what's the physical tools here I mean he could make that move inside it and just do like a basketball thing and then and then the guys come to tackle oh man they just they just roll right off him I'm he weighs 220 pounds and he gets that big body in between the defender they just take it around I just is off guard Fletcher is going to be jumped patent on this followed this guard here and he's going to calm our round he loves to get in behind his guard as his guard kicks out see Joe Patton come in boom right there that kickoff and Terry Allen runs great off kick out blocks you know in the NFL this is getting tougher company because as Dallas is probably in the red zone and scoring and has been the Redskins problem that defenses are penetrating now they used to have their linebackers will read in goal line defense now they're penetrating their inside linebackers and it's getting tougher and tougher to run down in the goal line area to the bank have to get that up toilet paper toilet paper but I don't know it looks like rhythm it's a it's it's a good machine that's a different kind of paper you got your basic toilet paper you got your basic adding machine paper different your styles of papers when they when they score that they throw out in the field you never get it all anyway you see they're like there's one piece there kay stadium the Redskins 13 here's what happened on the extra boy what's Fred Strickland here number 55 that's what the official saw and they penalized the Cowboys 15 yards after all the plan was done so the Redskins now instead of kicking off in the 30-yard line they're gonna kick off on the 45 yard line right here I know that these guys know about as well they should be able to get out of an zone from there so or the other thing is that's not this isn't a bad place to go for an onside kick and then it in a game like this you know why not because you have to kick it ten yards right so you have to kick it at least to here which is a 45 the Cowboys don't have a lot of offensive firepower anyway and if you're going to try an onside kick this isn't a bad situation we'll have a chance to attack by Stanley generates 13-3 there the ha gets all ready for the holidays and one of them the original hogs and wanted a good lineman ever to play Joe Jacoby all right guys you know every every time I think of RFK I always think you guys and Riggins and what are your memories he had a price it was a great feeling I think we had a good combination with John as the running back a gruesome pull back and the guys we had a fight with they just guys yeah that was great you and you and Russ Grimm and you know and I thought Donnie Warren was part of that deal too but Donnie was part of that deal you know now they got these past catch and tight ends with Donnie with more of our extra guard that this lineup is had tied in and we had him and we just had a great time and that we enjoyed each other and has some great memories here in this stadium and what a better way the end to playing the Cowboys well Joe Joe thank you so much it was a pleasure watching you well Thank You Pat and it's been a pleasure and thank you guys they provided a lot of great memories for us they bother a lot of great pictures you're talking about great pictures did you just see Nate Newton walk through there he's losing light I mean Nate I think lost 20 or 30 pounds look at him I mean that's not the same guy that started the season I see his the muscles in the back I know it I think I think mate lost about the guy I know where the way to weight back just find a week ago I ain't lost a guy wait to Darrow's wait Wilson didn't get hurt on that play Pat he went down and he was really slow to get up he's limping a bit today I think we're going to I think we're gonna see Jason Garin I know we talked to our knees and PZ last night he was saying that he would like to get Jason Garrett into this game Jason Garrett being the third quarterback he said just because he deserves it an opportunity for him to point have some welcome back and he gets a cowboy first down before he's brought down by Scott Turner yeah we were talking about Wade Wilson and me and not only has he not played all year but if they don't even get any practice Ernie zambezi the offensive coordinator has a philosophy that the only guy that gets snaps during practice you're learning Zambezi right here the only guy that gets snaps during practice is the starting quarterback the neither backup quarterback gets to practice one single played during the week the starter takes every play so Wade Wilson said that you're part of this thing is playing the other part is getting to practice for a week and this guy you just looked at Joe Eggman gets all the practice every week timeout Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by dr. pepper Pepper bottler dr.

of providing fans aerial sports television that's certainly an outstanding view wait one of the things that the that Michael urban is trying to do I'm not sure whether Wade Wilson is trying to do it or the coaches are trying to do it but Michael Irvin needs 45 yards in receptions that gain a thousand yards and so he would like to get his thousand yards today and he hasn't caught a pass and and his is play against the Redskins where the last time he played on Thanksgiving Day he only caught one pass for five yards Green plays on him most of the time to match up you see right there airman Williams the completion fee Wade Wilson how many playoff games have the Redskins lost here at RFK Stadium how many playoff games had they lost at RFK Stadium it's a place with great tradition great memories great games how many playoff games have they lost think about it 13 to 3 Washington over Dallas you that summer all John Madden at RFK Stadium we won't be able to say that much longer John but this is a great place now we have two minutes here and then one more half and drops it up he drops of all the Cowboy's laughter front Aflac trivia question how many games playoff games and the Redskins lost here their record is 11 and 1 the only time they lost in the playoffs here was 1984 to the Chicago Bears you know it part of that with a great players they've had and the great coaches they had and another big part of it with the great fans that they had here this is if you for the heart game this is a great place to play great place to the end zone I think you've bounced off your Billy Davis here Billy Davis could have cut that ball there Charles Hailey and Tony Tobin there's a pair to draw to the date was December the 17th 1961 as norm Sneed handed off to dick James for one of his four touchdowns the Redskins snapped a twenty three game losing streak for their first ever victory here at DC Stadium their only victory of 1961 it was first known as DC Stadium how did you feel when you kicked the first ball off it was anything special the lake do it remember diseases in Jersey it was where the big plays but I just think he loves some people asleep and thought together that's a little too snug but go that is a great pass pattern and still stop and go and then the catch I've been looking up over a shoulder let's just look it up over the showman and then no it's going to be over that left shoulder and watching it right into your hands and staying in bounds and doing all those things I'm pretty good throw - and that was an addition to the move way to hit Charlie Williams in the head we worked on Wendell Davis over the other side and he's going to work on Charlie Williams that time I gave through a perfect pass the time before here I think he put a little too much air under that one that he had he put a little more oomph on that Tang that could have been a touchdown to Michael Westbrook this Brook already has eighty yards two catches he's caught four passes for 80 yards and if he doesn't watch out I mean if he can stay healthy and play 16 games this guy like I said earlier he's gonna be a star in this way laughing team is madness you start again right side there here's that Simmons here he comes down and it gets his guy there's big trade Johnson he comes in and gets Darren Woodson he gets him and turns them and then they run by what's left you know they do a great job at pulling that off guard see how trade Johnson got Darren Woodson there those are big blocks all the way down to the Dallas three the forget to stay with us at the have the Dockers khakis halftime report coming up JB Terry Howie and Ronnie scores highlights in the playoff picture action he's punching any punches I think they did after realized with the heck of might do it in a place like this he's a competitor yes fire Election Day they're going to get this ball in there again they pull joke patent to the offside this is a play that Kari Allen scored on early I am Mitchell heavy touchdown look like he tripped just before he had to the goal line one day he tripped his name was down he was down right there yeah and you see the me down here's the ball see the ball hasn't broken the plane yet when the knee went down blow the whistle go if they don't blow the whistle that doesn't mean anything he lost about a foot actually on that case is a touchdown Dawlish snapped that's what you have to do it gets these goal line defenses day they're just getting tougher income for the White House the favor snap cool stuff - more - where's the extra lineman to play and tight end you see he just moved right there and you know the funny thing about it he really wasn't even part of the play it was going to be a play fake to that side they were going to flow to the other side there was no reason for Daryl Ashford on it often does that happen now Gabi cut you know a lot of times it happened because it's not coming to your side you really have nothing to do you don't concentrate that's as much as you would if the play we're coming to you jets out pass was from throught to Scott Galbreath I still know exactly how they took that touchdown bag I made someone had overruled because we did see the one official did say there was a touch all of the sex now the Redskins are stroking out one yard line fish down what do you do you you go for it on fourth down or do you kick the field goal because you're only I mean you go for this first down but - time I swear with all the Tigers go we have the two seconds from Sarge here I think that's what you have to do well we've seen them fake field goals before I doubt they'll do it this situation but he puts the field goal team in and the thing that he was up against again he got the first down because of the pass interference of the endzone got the ball in the one yard but he'd already taken a couple runs runs out of the play pass had to penalty so I figures what the heck we got down there let's have something positive come out of this it's the bill 19 yards and the Redskins the first half with the score sixteen Dallas 3jb Howie Ronnie and Terry will be alone with the doctor's khakis have to have report following these messages [Music] all okay stadiums last hurrah as horn for the Redskins good evening I'm David Burnett and this is a special Fox 5 Hampton news update and I'm Hilary Howard it is a bittersweet day at RFK Stadium the skins are in the middle of a season-ending contest against Dallas our traditional rivals but another tradition is ending today it's the last game at the stadium that was home to the Redskins for 35 years mr. Tegeler plays to do that football game with a bayonet the playing stadium like this because the hairs is went down top as you know you bounce the stadium get the rock and I'm an innovator kill anybody Xiomara we'll have much more on the game plus a special farewell to RFK Stadium and set back here at RFK Stadium some of the great players have played here over this 35-year history of this arena being introduced to the crowd at halftime and I'm not sure who got the biggest amount of applause weather with John Riggins or Dexter Manley or art month here a couple of the guys brain is still active reactive today he'd really shut up the other guys are really enjoying that Kilberg the background wedding Center here how many more times in your life you get them with the Jersey on and run out before a crowd government is there last time but they sure did enjoy it in the crowd sure did enjoy it the players are still out there there's duck Williams you have an experience like Joe Jacobi we talked to him earlier Gary Clark F if I were those players I would look for something to take with me I would I would just grab a hunk of that feel and and take a whiff it Sam Huff and then so many great but they're doing now is they've taken the players off and in golf carts I guess because some of the players are walking around I think some when we're just waiting for their golf cart past offensive back Greg Olin boy you talk about a tough guy any ever wonder lead wriggle off mark the killer right Daryll go and shake it everyone play this Buffalo event truer than George Allen pick them up and blow in the ponytail and what small he used to play God Lichtman looks wha darrel grain Darryl cream enjoys every moment his life he's always making a memory Daryll memory not sure what this is all about your archive the BAM man we enjoyed this jumpin and skipped it and there's any Hoss he was out in the field jürgenson is Rico I think the real love fest here is with John Riggins and his fans I think be Mitchell who's part of the administrative staff for the Redskins now he's the first black boy this moment taking a lap now this is kind of a 50-lap Gary the library they're in the middle of the they they go around and take this lap witches is ready because of all the fans get Brigid talking about memories and the second half kickoff wait really for us John we were in Chicago on Monday time all Manton Super Bowl team yeah we made it and Joe Namath there's Jerry Kramer regard for the Packers scuse me go ahead I mean it was just so I mean in history you start with those guys you know plate and it's super ball one how about those two two of the greatest quarterbacks that ever played in this game and that show is going to be on on Super Bowl Sunday where we and to have a you know a history of the Super Bowl and time Super Bowl players are so good they made a sure was fun this year like these guys right here now I mean you know two reunion days there they're back and there you put the heart they don't even give them a golf cart and I think that's fitting I think there's more than one bail soon yeah but there's no way that a big old joke Jacobi and Bostick and and those guys have war and then May and so on they shouldn't be in golf carts they ought to be giving a big old truck sit on a bale of hay if you're a hog that's the way you go red skin on the player on the good on a kickoff return still down let's see Fox NFL Sunday has brought to you by the car that's here today India tomorrow new gallant from Mitsubishi built furnace by Gillette sensor excel on the Gillette series Gillette the best a man jet and by doctors cash nice pants back in the nation's capital tough way to end the year kitano when you're going to see here's Al Kitano right here better you just seen right there it gets rolled up upon gets that leg and they put a splint on it already and when Golf Cart the ball-carrier stating it not much doing one of the thing that the Cowboys are trying to do is really to win and play without their guys and it's a it's a difficult situation because even when they have their guys well offensively you know they haven't had any continuity all year and a gurney zambezi was saying last night offensively from training camp war zone we're going to break through and we never get breaks me this year so you can't expect these guys there's Wade Wilson back flag on the play try Aikman over on the side on he has gone from the clipboard to the headset well see what happens is he has a headset now usually Jason Garrett does that is Jason Garrett they keep moving back and forth every time I did it but I think that Ernie wants to get Jason Garrett ready to play number 25 five-yard penalty automatic push down called against Tom Carter missed an automatic first down Ed Hochuli is a referee you heard him say that because what the Cowboys we're talking about of course you know Jason Garrett is usually on the on the phone and Ernie zambezi calls the play down to Jesse Garrett who calls it into the headset of the quarterback so now Troy Aikman is calling it into the headset of will let's catches him that's why they miss Emmitt Smith here you no dammit Smith is a great runner but you also Martinus patent the first man to arrive Marcus Patton but the thing is is is is is you're going to see him come from this side here and the guy that has to block him is Sherman Williams and he doesn't get it done you see right there he throws an air ball and and and that's the problem are you ever running back the running back has to be able to run but in this way be able to pass through town space gets it to michael irvin gets across the 30 about the 32 not enough for a first down and that's his that's his first catch you know we talked about why Michael Irvin is playing which i think is stupid anyway you know to play for a reason to get a wreck you know a thousand yards and you need 45 you either either play to win the game and play to play the game or or deal question you're gonna sit out but he's trying to get yard so that he has or not come daddy Sherman William on a crossing pattern adopted and the Cowboys have to punt those are the thing does it again getting back to him at Smith and make him since you're great running back is is that he does run with a ball when you need a runner but if you need a block or he blocks and you saw Sherman Williams missed that block and if you need a receiver he's a good receiver he just saw Sherman Williams drop a pass and it made the trip obviously but he's not in uniform he's active list those guys that you can't define the game at these breasts Bearcat signal by Brian Mitchell and the Redskins will take over at the 40-yard punt by John jet no return [Music] the aerial views that you've been seeing of today's game coming from the miller eagle that view right there the eagle is a unique twin-engine airplane that has been designed to provide these terrific shots Miller's testing the Eagle this season not an airship you can play and it was a red flag on the play be against Dallas that adds up to pretty successful first half I'd say now that's the thing that we talked about you know such a good job in north turner dozen calling plays not only mixing it to different receivers but flowing for different positions on the field again you know on one hand you know that you know this isn't doesn't count for anything for the Redskins are not going to be in any playoffs or anything but there's only one reason to play it again we still go out to win I mean if they have Europe a player and you're competing that's where you go out to doing the Redskins have to play hard yeah that's what I think you always do is just to go out to play hard I was never a big believer that you needed a reason to win because I always thought well what happens if you don't have a reason to win have you know they say well they don't have any place to any reason to play you got a reason to play them and there's another team there that's your reason to play and I just thought if someone could turn it on and turn it off just because they wanted to or didn't want to they weren't won anyway a lot of people think they can but you just can't do that now that's why it's so good to see a big edge Simmons in there right tack on these this five games coming off a knee injury he didn't have to come back and play today no I was talking to me before the game down on the field he was saying you guys need to talk about about ed sevens he's been hurt he doesn't have to come back and play today talk about guys playing with their heart and guys who don't need something to play for guys who want to be a part of the Redskins and be wanted will be a part of his whole this whole effort and they just because he's a football glad and as a football game to be plenty the rookie Wendell Davis go to misjudge that babies share 35 watching these starts up here he starts in and he just misjudging he's tries to undercut it or something I don't know if he saw that ball or not but he tried to under get that thing and use the hook right over his head on the play as well but that's a facemask right there that you see the window after window Davis was beaten that's a tough thing of all Wendell Davis the corner is is beaten by Henry and then the topic George one adds a penalty to it but he's still grabbed second took it away throw lobster what is behind crate Johnson guards focus on that flight to the right Allen just gets right in behind them huh that's a big back to hide behind and that's what trait Johnson does well yours a lot of teams lead with their full backs like like the Dallas Cowboys with Gerald Johnston the Redskins lead with their guards that's number 77 pray Jackson that got Jerry Alan three two three Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by dr. pepper and vocal Dr Pepper bottler dr. pepper is just what the doctor ordered 11:47 here we end the touchdown yeah we're talking about trait Johnson and what a good job he does how coming and kicking out right here so that Terry Allen can get it in the guy that does a poor job is Roger Harper there and the goal line you can't stand and wait let's pray Johnson right there pull upper weights Terry Allen just runs right over them but if you're in the goal line you better penetrate when Roger Harper had he taken that whole that would have been tough to get a touchdown minutes ago penetrate don't hesitate the 43 first down cowboy Dallas total yards 27 rushing 42 passing and you get out distance considerably well cheers Herschel Walker lined up here is a wide receiver he just runs a little hook and all they're trying to do is just get the ball to Herschel Walker out in the open field and let him use his strength in his speed now he's in the backfield with Sherman Williams Walker is right now for McDonald's game break let's return to James Brown on Fox television Center iPad take a look at will it off him Mike Mamola great play forces the fumble picks it up takes it in for the school your ones come too late that sets up next Sunday right here on Fox Philadelphia at San Francisco while card action begins then dr. Pat and John and we'll be there with the wild card action next week second and ten expire into the cowboy backfield but jumped offsides yeah that's why he was into the cowboy backfield because he left before the rest of him did that usually happens both sides the defender 95 by the death penalty repeat second down and Hockley hook one of his other officials on the way bhai did a clothesline that's what you always always have to watch out when your another official you have to watch for anything flying on around out there seems like we've seen more officials this year get hit especially that guy right there that he's the guy behind me right here gets the first down jumps out a couple of tackles Keith Taylor Sherman Williams is doing a running part alright he's having trouble with the other parts of being a running back he's he's already dropped free passes today and you know he did a couple old late blocks and you know those are important things to I mean they don't go statistically it doesn't go how many how many blocks did you miss but but I think when he's in there I would think that that would bring about a lot more blitzing mccomus Reverend Smith will blogs and Lee Richards our free safety on I saved him he jumps over here Stanley Richard short and to the inside and he does have yep have control going down but then it looks like Michael urban took it out of there I thought so it was incomplete raw eyes are good and then they gave it to him and then you look here and it looks like it's incomplete kermin stood there and argued about it and he won the argument so much for that are you who said that my mother used to tell me that I think guys when I was coaching y'all playing baseball is it doesn't pay to argue and then when I it because I never a coach it I never won an argument so I always learned that it never paid to argue and then here's here's their Stevens in here and here's the guy that make those two things happen Shawn Gilbert in there by getting the penetration you see here you see when he gets some penetration right there then they get it from the outside and then the Stevens can come up you see that watch him he moves in here you see and he gets a penetration right there so there's no cutback the rock Stevens five receivers what's on the throws he was getting the fan here he gets the blips and then you see he just closed out away the middle I mean there's no way I've had a chance to catch that dog I don't think that that pass rush was that severe now but he felt supple and he threw it away and I don't know what Calvin Martin was doing I mean the ball was there but Calvin Martin II and he let the guy jump in there and intercept it then he just stood there and watched it yeah what the game I mean there's a game to decided you got it and let's play and okay the Redskins are in the cowboy huh I sit back for three got three miles made the stop the other thing is and I think that you know like norm Turner was saying yesterday the wrench kids are going to win a lot of games this year and you're going to look at the record and say there's a lot of teams that were into playoff supposed to be in the playoffs with that record but it's not the games they wanted the games they lost it's win and how they won to get into one in the games they lost Williams back pass that worked earlier in the day couple of times who's been quiet today is Jamie Asher a yesterday when we talked to the Redskins and Norv Turner and Jamie Asher they thought that he would be a big part of their offense they thought that they could throw the ball to their tight end and you know last time they played him they threw some outs and stuff building they thought this time they could run some inside stuff to him and he hasn't caught a pass all day member against the eagle wide receivers this time [Applause] there was a miscommunication of some sort you know that's one of those option things remember years ago that Dave meget used to run with Giants where if they called it scab and you go in if the guy plays you inside you go out if he plays you outside you go in speaking in a Dave maggot they he had yesterday for the Patriots as they came from way behind to get the home-field advantage in the playoffs to beat the Giants Matt Turk hangs one that's called for by Calvin Martin and a Cowboys take over at about the 1920 our red skins however later on a three to three ladies and gentlemen get ready to hold up here greatest moments poster with the yellow side facing the field on the count of one two three ready one key Oh screws up hands for them that was there Dora care say they they came here and I was their way of saying thank you they all they all gave RFK a standing ovation one of the I said earlier I've ever felt the earth shake was here at RFK I felt the earth shake here at rfk and I know we felt this booth at RFK this thing up in here would shake it our welcome back makes the catch it was it raining out gave that tribute to RFK I think it started to rain at the same time with snow or whatever that is they all stood up all the people stood up and I was watching them and they gave that tribute and then this came at the same time this place has seen some games you'd come out the best green flag on the play haki abuti headed up to check it out gonna be against the Redskins and Barnes on that one even got in there a little you know that's that's the thing with that slant pass you get a couple of goes on at one you may complete it and there's a lot of pass interference on that by the defense in the 27 automatic first down yeah you see you see here he is here he's gonna run that slant and you see what happens you see when you go to jump in on that slant if you have any contact while the balls in the air it's going to be pass interference and an automatic first down the Cowboys have it at their own 46 the rest Sherman where the Stephens came up with it better signal or first down twenty three two three steam rising in RFK you can't beat that shot I know that's that's something you always love is when the sweat comes out of the top of your head you know that's why you'll always say that Heep escapes out yet have you keep your hip warm you can stay one day late ahead is Terry Allen but they always say about cold wood comes in your feet and goes out your head we just have a picture of it going out your head on that fumble by Sherman Williams I think Rob Stevens may have grabbed his elbow but but that ball came out of their way too easily second to here's Terry but not a first down stop by a heaven McCormack Godfrey miles ray Childress is at number 72 the defensive tackle they they picked up when Leon Lett was suspended and just picked him out he was kind of in in retirement kinda even in retirement he was in retirement he was kind of on a ranch or somebody in the aramid yeah next thing you know he's in he's in you and the harness again he has a football gear on and these playing games and go into the playoffs and they would have fought remember all those great years of great children are set for the Houston Oilers whole does the defensive end and defensive now the line of scrimmage who spent a lot of time in the defensive line and look like he could still be there Dave putz Dave how you doing good gentleman thank you very much for letting me talk to you yeah Dave you know you know we talk about memories we had here at RFK and what a line was always you play it and then your helmet video being look like it just got in a bus wreck or something and you walk it off the field with your son those were great memories there's there's people that still come up he's 19 years old now and there's you go to an airport and they come by and they say how's little Dave or how's that little guy that held your helmet up so there's a tremendous number of people that remember that which is fine with me Dave is your son as big as you know little babies ruler but he's smarter what are your greatest memories Dave of being here at RFK I think you know we had offensive classic game here I think there was 32 punts per side I think as a score was 5 to 3 I was a what rainy day tremendous effort just went in the locker room sat down the trainer felt really sorry for him it must really look pitiful he came over first time in my life and cut tape off of me and I thought I was I thought either I was gonna die or he was gonna help me you didn't do that right how'd you feel out there in the field at halftime what was that like it's good these are very good fans and they're very very helpful especially the game is really close they get rocking the quarterback can't hear at all it upsets the offensive line edge forget really what they get together and stuff well Dave good luck to you thank you very much thank you Jim have a great Christmas you too Dave but nobody blocked it nobody knocked him ever backwards well the one thing that you couldn't do against Dave Butz is he played defensive tackle and you couldn't run Adam and you couldn't run away from him and cut back into him I'm in his area he was very very possessive about his area he owned it did you used to know a guy named Fisher oshi yeah yeah when I was a kid they ship sold peanuts chairman Williams the ball-carrier word fishhook so penis on the corner Main Street yeah I did well everyone should should know a fishhook in their life there's Derek Cunard getting a little playing time here they just kind of sign him for insurance get the lute playing fine momentarily then the quarterback sneak I think as you see Barry Switzer down there I think his idea is to just get out of this game and not get any players injured chances they don't get the first down here Redskins have force there is a Redskins day they just want to control this line of scrimmage you see the ball and you have to give underneath their shoulder pads and you have to get down and you have to win that battle of leverage and the Redskins won that battle leverage right there Redskins as a team it's in stands day it's the former Redskins day and they're just using the Cowboys as an opponent the NFC Mitsubishi playoff picture Green Bay Carolina and Dallas the division champions the wild cards the 49ers Minnesota Philadelphia Philadelphia goes to the 49ers next week and Minnesota goes to Dallas if I got it right you have it right I think yeah I think that order was now here's got sporadic hi boy against Washington yeah what's gonna happen is you're going to say they're going to say that the that the Redskins you know that the Cowboys didn't play all their guys but the Redskins do play well against these guys here here's what it looks like now it'll be Minnesota at Dallas Philadelphia at the 49ers and then of course the first-round byes are the the champions with the best record to Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers congratulations to the Carolina Panthers in their second year they win the NFC West Redskins just came up with a penalty that you don't see a heck of a lot of Oh sis York never took the news wife first in 20 pass comes out to pool thanks to the 46 yard line maybe the other guy out here in front there old Trey Johnson you know he used to betray a TR with an ague over the e and now it's just a Johnson because his real name is Edward Johnson and so then then but he was a third so they made him tray and then put the igloo over the e and then just went back to the e but he was out in front on that play again on that screen pass and for a guy that weighs around three hundred and forty pounds he sure gets around this football field he can't see that a door was it up there no no no doing it used to be tr he a guru Tina Jerry the AFC playoff pictured the division winners Denver New England and Pittsburgh the wild-card teams Buffalo Jacksonville and Indianapolis there's a couple surprises being in their video Jacksonville obviously I'm surprised not being in there as the Kansas City Chiefs I wouldn't say they were a little like the Redskins you know a team to get off to a great start had big records and until people think geez they may go all the way and then they don't make good makes the catch a catch will be enough to move the sticks first down Redskins a minute left to play in the third quarter and we Ehlert's an amazing guy in heaven and he just and you talk to defensive backs around this way again and they say they'll tell you that him other past patterns for like 14 years today for 99 two times this time and Terry ow the line of scrimmage by Randall Gottfried Cowboys rookie linebacker from Georgia now there's the business starting line back down remember Broderick Thomas was he starting linebacker there buddy he lacked some speed on pass coverage so they but three or four games ago they started starting Randal Godfrey and he's played played very well well because he can run I mean I've been ready right that's one thing that in any defense you need but especially in this Dallas Cowboy defense you need speed that's the end of the third quarter then the Redskins over the one more corner to go at RFK Stadium in Washington the last professional football game to be played here the Redskins will move into a new stadium next year those places Childress introduced red skins at the half and a guy contributed so many so much to some of the championships mark Mosley the kicker hi mark hello Pat how you doing doing great how you doing I tell you what other than this this being the last game it's been a good one for us what'd it feel like it to have when you went out join the teammates you know it's quite an experience but I guess there's some sadness there but at the same time it's great to be back with all the fans and to see how they hide they remember all the players from the past at the same time it's kind of sad knowing that this is a last game to be played here these are the best fans I think any that's hard statement to make but because it's in great in other cities but there none as enthusiastic or more enthusiastic than this group yeah you're right there these fans are the kind of fans that don't leave you whether you win or lose they're always here they have since 1964 and when the team started selling out and they've been selling out every year and these fans just keep coming no matter what happens well mark great to see it thank you for joining us Thank You Pat and tell John there that I missed that making is all bad and team anymore here here just keep kicking mark I'm trying I played listenmi Pro down here still kicking it I actually made a couple tackles is she at least that's what I heard I got to report on all right good thanks my Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you but Mosley still playing football yeah they suddenly reports on him playing and even made a couple of hits along the way there's proud of still wants to be on the all-madden team but you got to see him play yeah I know it when we go get dick and some guys around other youth that's under 75 this is to go first down that doesn't look like this year one of our camera people Merry Christmas like she's on the wrong side of that bill yeah Italy takes it down inside the chin the Redskins note the Redskins who win this game they will have beaten the Cowboys three out of the last four times they played info maybe this game doesn't mean a lot to the Cowboys the restive to the five is Terry Allen I think the North Turner's done an excellent job with this team and building an offense and there's that next guest yeah those those are the happiest daughters if you ever see a dog like that like a golden retriever yeah they're the happiest dogs those dogs have more fun than any other dog there is having some fun right now oh yeah you can't beat that and I'll bet you the tails Ragland there's there's no way that that tail isn't waggling right now they're going to the new stadium they won't and that's that's the thing that stuff about it when you miss these stadiums is it you're not gonna have them anymore I'm going to be a new stadium in another Stadium we won't have this one I use extra point is good the touchdown Glantz is set to kick-off washington goal of things 32/3 it's gonna be Kevin let's get back can't beat that now flag on the play like Herschel Walker is the tailback now Barry Switzer exhibit so at that all start by the offense number 63 five-yard penalty we may push down officials had gotten some work at tailback during the week so now that's his position and Jason Garrett is the quarterback you came to figured that when you saw Troy Aikman on the headset when they took the headset off Jason Garrett you figured that he was going to play in this second half Troy ate music I to get the plays from indigestion so I still in the head said I wonder if he'll yell at Jason Garrett what he used to do it he wasn't yell at Jason Garrett he would yell into this mic Jason because that mic would go up to Ernie's amp easy so if he wanted to yell like he didn't like to play he would come over and yell it like he was yelling at Jason Garrett but he was really getting to Ernie zambezi who was on the other end Larry Allen limping you know joy looks a little bit like a coach in that head said oh yeah I mean he doesn't look like a quarterback and he didn't I was watching her pregame warmup I said gee that's a different guy see the pregame the masturbation Gareth complete was limping after the last way he's not only a very very good player a flying player he is tough I think getting Larry Allen is probably the best offensive lineman and football and you know they got to get back to play in that way you know where you know Allen plays like that Eric Williams plays like that rate Donaldson gets healthy ain't you an excuse me does John Flannery at center now rate Donaldson's been banged up this is Flannery's first play at all it's ty j Armstrong George hangman's been playing pretty well as yet left tackle position marked to an a of course say they didn't activate today so they could rest him they're getting some of these other offensive linemen some some playing time but and then hope they don't need them when they do back to POTUS jon's yet for the sixth time today [Applause] his weapon it about the 21 by Jim swans you [Music] soccer ball bouncing around on fk'd it'll be a lot of that that'll be the only thing here I think they have got a half soccer and concerts and stuff like that at the 22 first intent Terry Allen is still running together the biggest - he breaks the all-time Washington single-season rushing record he need now now he needs he just he just lost one so now he needs three to break John Wiggins OU's record Riggins is here and I'm sure that's why Terry Allen is is in there right now and I'm sure that's why they're running the ball because they have to know that I ran up that I would expect that they would run it again on this lineman knowin ya at alignment all put their hands up those are the guys that going the offensive linemen Regan's record single season wet skin record the all-time Washington Russian record getting the end of it right there with me down in the first guys let me to see ATS images of memories this way gets up to the 48 [Applause] Ellen what tough runner he is you know in many sports so many touchdowns this year because he runs well runners a slasher II it's the and then he'll put his shoulders down and just or anything and then he'll jump into the stand and he has you know when you talk about running back so you talk about NFL players I think there's as much respect for Terry Allen as there is anyone around around the league the other players you're so right in very yet yeah to major reconstructive knee surgery both needs yeah you know and what people thought he was he was offsides better defense defensive right in that penalty is declined he's also officially fall face math better defense under 35 the 15 yard penalty first down first down Washington Wendell Davis has had a tough time out there today he's a rookie cornerback and you know you know they're gonna work on him when he gets out there and and they have been and he's these have been having penalties and all those other things one realizes now with Terry Allen's done and I'm sure that his day is done his season is done that's the third time today the Dallas has been called for a facemask violation and that Dallas is just playing sloppy football and and part of that is an awful lot and they're playing a lot of different people and they don't have to himself and you know the forgives you still have to put someone in there and if you're the guy that's in there you don't want to get ripped I don't care what there's a guy that you imagine teaming there's one guy you can say who's gonna be to him and resume and he's one guy and any team I arrived I would take Terry Allen you'd want him out sure while he was still in his room you see the thing that he can do is is he is he already has the outside so he just keeps him there he gets Williams like you say a double will get hips him up and he gets him going again with the thing that it he kept him on his inside the whole time knowing that he was going to run it out and he gave his self room to the sideline and he had Williams where he wanted on his inside shoulder a kept him there throughout two the best for us I felt the end of that one that was the other guy remember when we did the opening game of the Redskins and they were just coming out of their training camp in pre-season and Steven Davis was another running back to norv turner life you like Dooley and Davis and he thought that you know maybe they would help them this year but if not they were going to be part of their future when you have a minute to spare Madusa volumes we broadcast over yesterday best written consent of the Washington Redskins and the National Football League is prohibited one of those games that the offensive line will love because you know they got the defense book down Allen got an all-time rushing record 37 these aerial views

Justin I will be talking to Ken good luck Jen thank you very much very much then you get a great job 39 yard touchdown Walker Rogers that's just man blockin he gets right in here behind Derrick Canard who does a heck of a job and I did play in that left guard they just wiped it out then you buy the linebackers there's no secondary in there though sir Walker just runs up things straight up the field doing a bid was very 340 350 but they the guy can block I mean he's a football player he had get him the Super Bowl when I came back words ever be impossible you'd be the claim to do that the extra point is good 37 to 10 with 6 41 left to play January 26 Fox Sports will televise our first Super Bowl and starting now you can be a part of the most interactive NFL experience on the world wide web check out super bowl calm brought to you by IBM now those are the twins I think there's two women that we're on there are twins talking about which the dear Wade Wilson started they did these women a twin yep Wade Wilson's wife had twins on Monday he says been a big week for him a boy and a girl and starting yeah and starting and Christmas he says there's a heck of a lot of stuff going on on you all the kickoff why on campus it's against the Redskins you need a black in the back by the receiving scene number 47 then your penalty first down watch this you know your schwanz made thee the Pro Bowl this year Jim Swanson umber 52 but watch when he runs into trade Johnson I meet Johnson I mean when you come down you have to you have to take on a lot of loans you run down under a kickoff now you have to take on wedges and elected they got it takes a bunch of folks you get let's again go to the Fox television Center for a gay break-in here's James Brown tell on it came this close to losing the NFC West title button to pick off by Chad Cota preserve that NFC West title to victory that means at San Francisco mix Sunday right here on Fox but the Pat Summerall a John that fifty-five as Davis and I was thinking this this last game being here that you know when we leave I'd like to take something with me I'm sure a lot of these fans and players are all thinking thinking that same thing if you looked at this taking something out of here just stick it in your pocket I've thought about it well I don't have room you got a little one to buy I know I'm working I'm starting to look around for I can't see anything here to take Rock guarantee on my way out I'm grabbing something take one of these guys I'm just gonna grab know something that's a thing it's a heart of RFK I may take that that's not a bad idea just go pick up one of those things in my pocket Davis again son we'd sort of like to dedicate this and say hello and good wishes to your tooth guys who have been with you for so long and we drive the bus dave Heineman Willy Yarborough yeah they're they're both in the hospital now and and we you know send our prayers and wishes to him and we'll be getting out Tuesday and you know Dave will be in for some time but he's doing he's doing better that's the best news of all and they'll be back we'll be back here ain't the same without those two guys I like to say I mean I mean you get used to something to some people how much you're missing pushed out of bounds by Randall Godfrey talking about michael irvin getting over a thousand yards that catch their pad I think just made Henry Ehlert over a thousand yards so Michael urban it didn't get is a Henry Ehlert did get hint and look at this second player over 35 years old to gain a thousand yards receiving Henry markable never had the great speed one of those guys that you know it's just a football player I mean he knows how to play the game but he knows also how to get himself ready how to practice how to work it all those ethic things that that you talk about so much and you think that are missing or you want to knock pro sports or pro football and say it's not there anymore you look at a guy like Henry Allard and you know that it is here as you mentioned that he has he just loves to play the game just loves to play the game I think every guy that is is worth it darn in football does have a passion for it there's another guy always like to play a game yeah bill Bates and he's he's a guy that I know it's killing him not to play in this game because his first game that he ever played was was here at RFK and and you know just like any fighter I mean you don't want to go out and street clothes and no Bates is one of those guys who's a football player and the last place he wants to be is there standing on that field with street clothes same kind of man Davis again yeah I'm starting to look down here Pat there's a lot of security and they're starting to take boxes and stuff they're all and stuff out of here now that they probably don't want the fans to get but they got this whole field line because like I was saying I want to take something out of here when I leave you're gonna go down there I don't know I'm gonna go somewhere to take something out of here I'll guarantee I'm gonna take something out of here I think everyone here has that clock guys are there to spot them right that's how that got to be the goal get laterally yeah that's stupid I mean I was you know I know that you know this game doesn't mean anything that a cowboy is there in the playoff next week but if they want it they have to eliminate that I mean their defense is play and superb Dave Campo does a great job so much for your idea to get one of those I don't know if I can get one of those now but they got eliminate that that lateral stop zamp easy just on the left ear picture Joe Brodsky in the middle camp always talking about the defensive coordinator down there I've done such a great job Neil Armstrong I think so one more game today playing all their starters it wasn't going to get in sync today so they didn't need it anyway as Herschel Walker the ball carrier last time two minutes left to play happy holidays from all of us at Fox Jerry Jones cowboys owner son Stephen and drunkards Dalrymple alongside jerry jones enriched our from the same guy yeah riches with you I would think so oh that's not Rich's coat rich which right here that coat came from some other guy I know who it was - yeah rich pop that's a cop Walker's running like a runaway freight this has always been unable to run hard-and-fast straight ahead now he has to have that opening and if you get in that opening there's not a lot of people that are going to catch him as they proved on that one point there you wonder you look at Terry Allen now and what a great year he had and you know broke the all-time rushing record hey that's Jennifer you have to wonder can they sign be back next year because this agency thing when you get a guy who's only here a year or two they don't have a lot of loyalty Darryl Greene and he's been here forever I mean yeah he has a lot of lawyers I'd expect that he would be back there but you don't know about is Shawn Gilbert you don't know on fox following football married with children The Simpsons made mistakes in the x-files except on the west coast clock running less than a minute left in 37 galliston Handley Richard dropped him up I think both teams now are just trying to get this one over with and and get out of here for the Redskins it will be their last game and the end of their season the Cowboys they have to get ready for the playoffs I'm not sure this is a way to their last picture at rfk has the offensive line and those who help Terry Allen get that record though the Redskins in they finish with a 37 to 10 five years ago it's still been a for these Redskins they're not real happy I think thoughts about today this is the Miller Lite play of the game thus for what record-breaker for Terry Allen in the stadium and the last time and still hate the Cowboys here do - the cowboy helmet thoughts about today about the season it is too well it's just my final thoughts are really about being here at RFK and like I said earlier there's no place that I would rather be than right here in RFK Stadium today because there were so many great moments here in the moments that we've been together over the years and games and it wasn't just one play or one group or one guy it was a combination to me the memories of all the fans you know and how great they were and how this whole place would shake and jump in the AO in the fight song and the Hogs and Rigo and players and close games and Joe Jacobi going against Lawrence Taylor and the great battles and Joe Theismann and yeah I mean all of all the players and and things that happened here and you just kind of collect them all and put them right in here and say this was pretty good when you walked in here you just got sort of a a damp feeling in the field when you walk up into our booth when you came here as a player as I did way back in 1961 you had that feeling of intimacy you were close to the fans you were right there with him they got to know you you got to know them whether they hated you or whether they liked you you were right there with him there's no place like it all in those stadiums they could build they're going to be a thing that's necessary no question about that but you're never going to get the feeling davin you know we're losing that every we lose our FK and then you you know think Lambeau Field is there soldier fields and we still have some of them and you still have some of those memories away football you see and it did the way it should be you know played on grass and and all those things and we look at these guys celebrate and you think you know the Redskins they go home their seasons over Dallas they just want to get out of town and and get ready for next week and I don't know if they can I mean I don't know I think defensively maybe they can but their offense really didn't get started all year I mean I thought they were the best team coming in they never played like the best team but until someone beats them you have to say that they're the best team they are a group that feels that they can turn it on do that I'm not sure they can do that over the take you back we'll be back with the studio and the playoff situation ingestible you're taking a look at the scene the last NFL game played at RFK the fans swarm in the field many trying to get a piece of the field as reminders history plays in a chapter at RFK as the Redskins were moved to a new home and suburban Maryland about to do to the Fox Television Centre here Fox NFL Sunday all right folks a program reminder that coming your way after this postgame show it'll be married with children that'll be followed by The Simpsons net and Stacy and we end the evening with the x-files now let's take you through today to show you what's taking place of course the Redskins close out the season on a positive note 37 at 10:00 Terry Allen Redskins season best surpassing Riggins with his totals today others for 35 years it has stood proudly alongside other famous Washington landmarks in 1961 DC Stadium opened its gates for the very first time and a few years later a new name Robert F Kennedy Stadium in honor of the late presidential candidate RFK earned its reputation as one of the best not because of its size or beauty but for its grit and character and the fans that made it just about the noisiest place on earth today is they take the field at rfk for one last time the Redskins closed the book on a rich legacy full of memorable moments and legendary players and coaches Riggins jürgenson Taylor and gifts all Hall of Famers all Washington Redskins today we pay tribute to one of the great arenas in all of sports hail to RFK it may have meant little to Dallas but the fans it meant everything and the burgundy and gold did respond with a 3710 thumping of the Cowboys as Terry Allen becomes the most prolific single-season rusher in Washington history in the final pro

great place and I don't have to be here could you imagine being here today after what you've gone through did you ever think you're being it never see this Way's give me a lot of hope because a lot of people here can identify with me to some form of a degree and that gives me a lot of encouragement more importantly it's a gift you know and I will take this gift with me I'll take the feet members and I'll get back to Texas and what I will do I will reflect on this moment and and you know this will give me a lot of encouragement and more it's gonna give me a lot of hope model question one of the players your ex teammates say to you today well very encouraging things and I think that's what you know I can appreciate that notice also when I said to them you know again you know I let a lot of people down but more importantly I'll learn to forgive myself and overcome that situation and I may have bought some local flower I know I will doctor thanks for your time appreciate it Dexter man is hung out here to wait for us well he is presented many memories here RK today are capers and of memories to Dexter Manley gentlemen back to you I checked Dexter thanks a lot great to see it we'll be checking back with you in a second we want to take you inside the locker room right now for another player that was honored this afternoon this evening at halftime Darryl Greene who's been so great joining us whether the team wins of the team loses you ran out there Darrell at halftime with Jeff and with all the other guys that were announced you were the only one in full uniform which made it kind of special that they included you what were you feeling when you came out there well you know down in the tunnel Jeff I tell you man it was just family we would have had laughing and talking and it was just family and then to go out on the field with all the guys and fortunately in our community we have gotten to know the sounds and the sunnies of the years before us Jeff as you know and then we played together the gels the hogs the odd monks and then now I'm playing with this younger group so envy me okay this is just great now let's go back to that tunnel you were talking about before we went out on the field and we're introduced to the RFK crowd for one last time it was almost like a class reunion everybody mixing mingling telling stories and I love what one person said yeah oh you're the only person dressed like a football player well yeah you know it was a great fitting Jeff you know obviously I haven't retired yet and certainly I will but to be close to you guys and yet to be with this team is still trying to win it was a bit of special moment for me I'll just tell you that bottom line I felt great being with you guys and as well as playing in the game and I'm very pleased with today obviously our FK with we did not let our let off people down but it certainly was a damper that we didn't make the pearls but anything less than the playoffs this I'll take this and I'm very proud of this team very proud of know of and this staff will work very hard for three years and allowed me to be a part of it and I'm actually looking forward to the next season I think that we can get it done I think we really have what it takes to do it and you know you kind of want to apologize to the fans but hey it just happens that way but it's been a great year any way I can find some positives in it as well and and many of us myself included and I know Jeff is well Darryl thought that you deserve to be named to the Pro Bowl you had a terrific season you know I know that's very disappointing to you you will be back next year correct I'm definitely planning on it I don't have a contract but I think we can work that out and I'm looking forward to doing that and you know my objectives as you get older Jeff will tell you you want to and everybody knows I had written on a note enjoy every play and joy and joy and joy and play every play like it was my last so even if I don't come back I'll never play again I am one satisfied and a non complaining individual cause it's been a great ride regardless final question what memories whether they be specific or general will you take with you from this great stadium in the place where you played so many wonderful years for the Redskins oh man I guess just like you saw today the stands rocking the energy that's in the stadium and and just the excitement the excitement of a beard in RFK every week week in and week out I would like to play every game at home personally I don't like any Flint playing anywhere else so the main thing is just the fact that I was here that I participated here in RFK let me tell you something Dale from a former teammate the play I'll never forget about bill green of arcade Stadium was your first year running down Tony Dorsett I could not believe what I had witnessed and believe me a lot of fans around here have seen that many times since certainly a play that I'll never forget I didn't think anybody could physically catch Tony Dorsett but you showed me something well you notice the by Jeff when you get dropped at the number one pick you've got to show the fans that you know that's something about you they say and why did you pick this milk guy from Texas and I and everybody know I don't like to have been recognized as a covering cornerback but hey I'll take that it was great and the timing was great for it Darrell we appreciate you coming by you know you're a guy that we've been able to count on whether the team wins or loses and that's not easy to do sometimes after a loss but you're a true professional and a classy guy we appreciate there's both Fox 5 and all of our media local is all right with me baby ok thank you Darrell grab a good Christmas done - same to you well we'll have more of that special halftime festivities when our postgame show continues right after this while it wasn't an empty seat in the house today and the Redskins win over the Cowboys and maybe not a dry eye either especially at halftime when over 30 greats were introduced to the sellout crowd here's a sampling of what we witnessed today at halftime I flanker from Illinois 1962 to 68 member of the professional Football Hall of Fame nfl's leading pass receiver in 1962 and still the Ritz can record over for most yards gain receiving in a season Bobby Mitchell I'd linebacker from West Virginia 1964 to 67 and 69 Lovella a member of the Hall of Fame number seven a slam hop right wide receiver from Arizona State 1964 277 collected to eight American record holder for most touchdown reception Taylor a cornerback from the last 119 which the age of 70 the toughest players ever to play for its controller Michener quarterback run to 1964 to 74 59 before he lied the Redskins to the first Super Bowl number 17 no a gamer I'm running back from Kansas 1976 to 79 and receiver from Syracuse 1980 whoa where blame superbe 20 News William my quarterback from Texas a and I 1983 to the present five-time Pro Bowler four-time winner of the I'll tell you what and I was on the field waiting for you guys to come out getting high fives from the players I've had such goosebumps it was phenomenal it was terrific well you hate that the Redskins couldn't have pulled something off like this a month ago I tell you what as a former player I could only imagine what was going through the players minds seeing all the former players come back pay tribute to this Stadium one more time I know the players did not want to let this group down you were introduced along with your fellow hogs jacobi grim may start dean walker and warren let's show the folks would that look like and tell me how you felt as that thing was your never doubt if you have never came out of RFK Stadium and had your name introduced to 55 screaming fanatics there's nothing to compare to it and certainly you do it one more time it's something that you will never forget Steve it's an honor that you know your words cannot express exactly how you feel about it the only thing I can tell you that the fans and the players had a certain bond that only hope that we can really duplicate when we go over to the news place I mean it was certainly special a series of great players and teams and equally great fans it was a special place a special place that is listed for 35 years and the only thing about it we have to leave that we'll have our memories forever though our postgame show and our special look hail to RFK will continue right after this [Music] look at the skins and rfk you know in his day Bobby Mitchell was a great running back and receiver first with the Cleveland Browns than of course with the Redskins in 83 Mitchell and teammate Sonny Jurgensen were both inducted into the Hall of Fame Mitchell story is poignant although not often told James Brown recently sat down with Bobby Mitchell for a very revealing look inside the man but other people who might feel the strangest about the last game you played at RFK one can for any stranger thing you what kind of reactions will you have where you feel today and the last game is played there what does RFK oldc stadium bring about it any motions in the air well it would be very emotional probably more for me than most other people in the sense that to all the negative things that happened to me happen there all the good things that have to me happen there even today after many many years of not playing at RFK was just going through the tone rang in all the negative things I'm so negative well because that is the way I admit it first coming out of that dugout meeting the rich in fans who wasn't ready to accept a black star and the booze and the names and the cat calls all happened there initially and so I don't feel comfortable even today coming through that tone I expect to hear it it's on my mind I'm already tighten up and I'm in a business suit and yet I expected and I'm not comfortable until I get exit to the football field and once I get over there to feel then I hear the cheers the screaming in heart and I can see the premises and things within my mind during the early years was a tough for you to make a mistake and the footbath fear in terms of family action yes that's where I got in trouble with the black fan I had problem with the white fan because it wasn't ready for the black star anything that did I must be doing because I think I'm somebody or issuing out or you know those types of things and on the other side with the black fan I had to be this black Superman I couldn't make a mistake I couldn't drop a ball a conformal I can't do anything wrong on Sunday and you know in this game the football players out there that make you do some things you don't want Authority and so that was difficult so I had I didn't have either side I had him but I didn't know I had him during that period so what did I do I went home closed my door I closed it all off the Reds get put their top offseason acquisition to work no I'm speed throws the ball to Bobby Mitchell leave behind everybody for an 81 yard TD play early you asked me what does RFK mean to me when I see RFK close it closes the negative it closes the positive and I realize that I don't walk into a new stadium the new stadium in Maryland with the same enthusiasm and caring because all my life is back there at RFK but I'll say one thing the good and the good feeling I feel about being a Washingtonian the good feeling I feel about being a the good feeling I feel about Wriston fans and my friends that I've acquired in this city tells me that if I was asked tomorrow would you do it again my answer would be predicated on the fact of where I am at this point and what I've gained and what I've acquired from all the people and in that sense I have to say I'd have to do it all very interesting perspective one that you don't often hear one you don't often hear and believe me people like Bobby Mitchell the Sonny Jurgensen the Billy Kilmer's the Pat Fisher's than many horses these are the guys that paved the road for the Redskins present and certainly during my career these are the guys that laid the groundwork that allowed this organization to be successful fortunately for us and Joe Gibbs Air we were able to carry that and a couple notches higher we'll see what happens with North Turner anybody that's ever stepped into that stadium want a Bergen Engel Jersey you have to feel something special in your heart today even the fans what an emotional day it was our special look hail to RFK continues right after this I have to tell you that growing up in this town this is a day when journalistic objectivity goes right out the window I got myself a piece of turf right before I left the field right around the 25 yard line and I'll keep this forever and never forget this place RFK was a terrific place you've got to us to show on a little plaque I'm sure that I ingested five pounds out in 410 so I'll have my own taste of RFK in a different way though and so 35 years and 278 games later the Redskins leave a lot more than a stadium behind for the folks who've been following the team all their lives RFK was a shrine to the Redskins to pro football to legends and to heroes their names were jergensen and Taylor Riggins and monk brown and manly the Redskins will live on and pro football in the nation's capital will continue but make no mistake about it folks there will never be another RFK Stadium I'm Steve buck ads for Jeff Bostic Chick Hearn and us all of us here at Fox thanks for being with us we leave you tonight with a look back at some of those great moments and legendary players that made RFK so special have a safe holiday season season everyone [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] [Music]
