People always say he won three Super Bowls with three different QBs but also three different RBS.

My first Redskin game ...

October 8, 1967, DC Stadium: The Redskins led 14-10 with 70 seconds to go in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys took possession on their 29-yard line. On fourth down with 23 seconds remaining, Meredith hit an open Dan Reeves who beat out linebacker Chris Hanburger to score, making it 17-14. After the kick-off with seven seconds to go, Jurgensen pitched a long pass to Charley Taylor, but he was tackled at the Cowboys 20-yard line as time ran out. Final: Cowboys, 17 – Redskins, 14

Washington would win the rematch in Dallas that season, 27-20, but the Cowboys closed out the decade with four straight wins over the Redskins. In the late 60's the Redskins hired Vince Lombardi to try to stop ex-Giants coordinator Tom Landry. Lombardi's 7-5-2 record with the Redskins was the team's first winning season in 14 years, but he was still swept by the Cowboys. Lombardi's untimely death in 1970 froze Redskins development for two seasons.

October 31, 1965 versus the Eagles.

We had moved from Philadelphia to Washington two years earlier. I had been and Eagles fan but was now a Redskin fan. Still good to see Sonny, Charley etc along with old Eagle favorites Irv Cross, Tim Brown, Pete Retzlaff and Claude Crabb. My first ever NFL game.

That was fun. My 2nd year as a Redskin fan. Rutgen's with his shirt out all the time. So many familiar names. Bobby and Charley and so fun to watch Sonny. Best Redskin safety I ever saw Paul Krause. They traded him after his 4th year to Minnesota. He had 28 INTs in that time.
