Absolutely BREAKS my heart :""-((( to think of what happened to Harold McLinton 4 years later. R.I.P.P.P...to a TRUE Redskin warrior & consummate professional, on and off the field!
I'll say it over and over, Billy Kilmer was a tough football player. He may not have been smooth or pretty but he was a leader and a warrior who took a beating as a QB and never quit. Never had a losing season as a Redskins QB.
The first Redskin game I remember watching was the last game of the year in Dallas. After the victory, I specifically remember the Skins ripping down the signs in Texas Stadium.
Growing up in Pennsylvania i didn't get to see a lot of Redskins games but watching this video I remember how happy I was as an 11 year old when the Skins beat my dad's Cowboys in Dallas..
The Redskins of the early to mid 70s didn't have great athletes all over the place.. but they had a tendency to find high football IQ players. Smart players who were situational aware.
Opening narration is incorrect. I love NFL films and John Facenda was the best voice over talent at NFL films but the opening line here is incorrect. Maybe the script was wrong or John read it wrong but the playoff game at Minnesota was played on Saturday December 18, 1976...Not December 19. Otherwise this is an excellent video :) As a lifelong Washington fan I would love for someone to post a copy of the week 14 ( Dec 12, 1976 season) game where Washington beat Dallas (at Texas Stadium where they had never won) 27-14. There is some footage of that game in this highlight film but I would love to watch the complete game. Maybe it doesn't exist because not many people had Betamax or VHS in 1976 and I do not think either the networks or the NFL would have master copies of game broadcasts from 46 years ago. But maybe... just maybe...there is some sole out there who has Week 14 1976 Washington at Dallas on tape. If so then I hope you would consider uploading and sharing it. Thank you! :))
Been mentioning that game for a couple years now. It was the first Redskin-Cowboy game I remember and was hooked from then on. That video must be out there somewhere.
Beating Dallas in Dallas was the first win in Texas Stadium and was the greatest win before the 1982 championship game! We beat Dallas ass that day to!! God I love this football team!! HTTR.
That was INDEED a hugeee win for the Redskins!! I remember yet, 44+ years later, being glued to my grandparents TV watching this game, as a 10~year old kid living WAYYY out in Montana, far far removed from the NFC East!! :-))).....Even up to now, I'd have to say that I've never, ever seen a rivalry on the level of, & as intense as, the Cowboys+Redskins of the 1970s & up to the mid/late '80s. It transcended whatever national region you were in, and also our loyalties to other teams.
The 1972 NFC Championship victory at RFK Stadium over the defending SB Champion Cowboys in my opinion was the greatest victory in this series between these two division foes .
This would the final season that a Redskins team would make the playoffs under head coach George Allen. In Fact the Redskins wouldn't return to the playoffs until 1982 coached by Joe Gibbs which would also mark a new era for the Redskins as they would win the Super Bowl and their first league title since 1942 ushering in a new era of Washington Redskins Football.
George Allen was a great motivational coach - but not a complete coach - John Riggins was there for Allen's last year and said he put all of his energy into defense & special teams - and mostly ignored the offense - he also said George Allen's idea of the perfect winning score was: 2 - 0 .
Larry Brown still contributing, still playing all out as a roll player, Bill Kilmer and that busted nose I remember being allowed to stay up really late and watch the mud match on MNF.good times.
They will always be the Washington REDSKINS to me
Same here httr redskins forever!
Racists tend to be childish.

Kilmer was a great QB.

That was amazing. I am a lifelong Viking fan but I remember that game and I recall seeing that sign get ripped down by your Redskins.
I'm Miami fan but I liked those Georg Allen Washington team's great coach and his players loved playing for him
Growing up in Pennsylvania i didn't get to see a lot of Redskins games but watching this video I remember how happy I was as an 11 year old when the Skins beat my dad's Cowboys in Dallas..
One of the best team highlight films of the decade in my opinion.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS FOREVER!
Call them anything you want, but that Football Team in Washington will always be called the Redskins by me.
Thank you for the Upload of this Video. My Father and I wagered on that years Super Bowl and i think i lost but
The Redskins of the early to mid 70s didn't have great athletes all over the place.. but they had a tendency to find high football IQ players. Smart players who were situational aware.
I wasn't alive during this season - but this video made me leak.... HAIL!
The only season which Larry Brown and John Riggins were on the same team.
WISH they coulda been in tandem longer! 2 TRUE gritty superstars!
The proverbial passing of the torch
Thanks to George Allen, Larry Brown career was cut short.
@@mikevanriel7573 Do you mean he ran him into the ground? Because I honestly think Brown should have retired after the 74' season.
@slim sherman 4 1,000 yard rushers. How many times has that ever happened?
Kilmer was a legit tough guy.

Hopefully the redskins name will come back!

Forgot Morton had played for the Giants.
This was the year of the Raiders.
