20th Anniversary of "The Quarter"

You'll never see an offensive explosion like this ever in the "Big Game." Ever. Doug Williams, Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders, Timmy Smith!

look at the numbers in my screen name. you think i remember this one?

just one thing though. the interception that set up the 5th TD was made by BARRY Wilburn, not Ricky.

Thanks so much for posting this, and great work. Loved the commentary between TDs. (Nice touch using the same font as the broadcast, btw)

Probably the best O-Line play ever seen, look at the protection Williams got against the blitz and the massive holes Smith ran through.

[chuckmak1979]

Williams seriously had all day to throw in that quarter. Simply amazing.

@Stickman53fe Love the military. While the name's not based on the AC-130H, I DO love ground attack aircraft.

Actually the score was 7 to 0 Chicago when Charley Malone dropped the TD pass. After the game, Sammy Baugh was asked by a reporter if that pass had not been dropped would the outcome of the game had been different. He responded "I reckon it would have made the score 73 to 6" He didn't even assume they would have gotten the extra point.

@quantumleap7219 It is ALL about pickin' yer spots, is the moral of THAT story.

@HermFontenot The Browns might have wanted to fix that little injustice in, oh, I don't know, the AFC Championship Game. (The Skins might have run six Byner -patented "The Fumbles" in for TDs.)

And here I am messin' on my man Byner, one of the key players on the 1991 Redskins, a clear contender for best team in league history. Sorry there, Earnest. ;-)

@WSBT960 And if Sammy Baugh's TD pass hadn't been flat dropped by a wide-open receiver at 0-0, the Bears don't win 73-0. If only.

@cbaldwinjr That is precisely what Seymour Siwoff, the preeminent sports stats guru, said when he was asked that question. "35 points. I mean, geez, who could have had more?"
