The Mountaintop

The Washington Redskins' year-long quest for a championship culminates in Super Bowl XXVI against the Buffalo Bills. This is the story of that game, and of the players and moments that made it so memorable.

Second Chances

Fresh off of a convincing win against the Atlanta Falcons a week earlier, the 1991 Washington Redskins now looked to knock off the Detroit Lions and advance to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in ten years.

Step One

First up for the 1991 Washington Redskins in their quest for a world title were Jerry Glanville, Deion Sanders, and the flamboyant Atlanta Falcons in this divisional playoff game featuring one of the more memorable moments in Redskins history.

Let's Prove It

This run of games during the last month of the regular season, against the Rams, Cardinals, Giants, and Eagles, would go a long way toward determining how difficult the 1991 Washington Redskins’ road to the Super Bowl would be.
