Washington 33-31. Nearly 1,000 yards of total offense, six lead changes and nine turnovers highlighted this wild affair in Washington. The outcome wasn`t settled until a completed Hail Mary pass by the Lions ended up with Detroit’s Mark Nichols was tackled by Joe Lavender at the Washington two as time ran out. The Redskins took advantage of two of Detroit’s six turnovers to take a 10-0 lead. The Lions’ Alvin Hall fumbled the opening kickoff and Jeris White recovered for Washington. Three plays later, Joe Washington, who rushed for 144 yards on the day, scored on a seven-yard run. Soon after the touchdown, the Lions fumbled again, and defensive end Matt Mendenhall recovered at the Detroit 10. Washington settled for a 21-yard Mark Moseley field goal. The lead went back and forth after that. The penultimate lead change came when Eddie Murray hit a 50-yard field goal to give Detroit a 31-30 lead with 2:58 to play. Theismann scrambled for 20 yards and Washington ran the team into position for a 44-yard Mark Moseley field goal attempt. Moseley had been bothered by a groin pull since the second game of the season. He had made just one of seven from over 44 yards all year, but Moseley said, “my leg felt good today.” It felt good enough to make the points to put the Redskins up 33-31 with 43 seconds left. Washington survived the last-second scare on the Hail Mary and walked off with a well-earned win. |
