NFL MONDAY NIGHTS
Washington and Big Scores
Tonight the Giants meet the
Redskins in what has the potential to be a high-scoring contest. Expect big plays on both sides in a
meaningful game in the NFC East standings.
Washington is no stranger to
high-scoring Monday Night contests. The
highest combined team score featured the Redskins and the Green Bay
Packers. In an October 1983 game the
Packers edged the Redskins 48-47 when Washington kicker Mark Mosley missed a
39-yard field game as time ran out. The
two teams combined for over 1,000 yards of total offense.
In November 2010 the Redskins
played in the game that holds the record for the most points scored by one team
in a Monday Night contest. Michael Vick
and the Eagles blitzed the Redskins for 28 first quarter points before the
Redskins had so much as a first down.
The Eagles led 45-14 at the half and cruised to a 59-28 victory. Michael Vick threw four touchdowns and ran
for another as the Eagles generated 597 yards of offense in the route. Vick dramatically outplayed Washington QB
Donovan McNabb whom he had supplanted as the starting QB in Philadelphia.
