1996: Washington Redskins vs New England Patriots Remastered NFL Highlights

The '96 Redskins earned a statement win with this October upset over the Patriots in New England. Norv Turner faced off against former Redskins nemesis Bill Parcells for the first or two times during his tenure in Washington (Turner won both), defeating a New England team that would regroup and roll on to an AFC Championship season in 1996.
Henry Ellard had a monster day for the Redskins, while Gus Frerotte threw a pair of touchdowns and Darrell Green had a key third quarter interception in this game dominated by Washington though most of the second half. The Redskins improved to 5-1 in the early going in 1996 and established themselves as a competitive squad that, on their better days, could compete with (and beat) any team in the league.
Kevin Harlan and the lovably excitable Jerry Glanville on the call on this majestic autumn afternoon in Foxboro.

In many ways, the first half of this season is the best highlight of the past three decades with the possible exception of the first year of RGIII.

1999 was great as well

I love the 1999 season and Brad Johnson/Stephen Davis

I like that the stadium was painted on both sides of the 50 yard line.

Henry ellard was so underrated

[@RetroSkins]

Ellard deserves a HOF nod. Instead they induct brazen narcissists instead of class acts like Ellard.
