Boyd’s 1997 Replay Game 101 (Week 8) Washington at Tennessee
The Oilers controlled the Skins
Time of possession is a statistic that is usually misleading. Not today in the matchup between the Tennessee Oilers and the Washington Redskins Sunday afternoon on Liberty Field.
The Oilers ran 81 offensive plays and possessed the ball for over 41 minutes in the 16-13 victory over the Redskins. Conversely, the Redskins ran 36 offensive plays and possessed the football for only a little under 19 minutes.
Oiler RB Eddie George carried the ball 33 times for 119 yards in the game, while QB Steve McNair threw it 31 times for 205 yards and a TD.
The Redskins led early in the second quarter 10-0 when Gus Frerotte connected with Albert Connell on a 70-yd bomb. Then the Oilers began to pound away at the Redskins. Al Del Greco kicked three FGs and going into the 4th quarter, the Redskins led 13 to 9.
With 11:45 to play, Steve McNair finally scored in the red zone when he hooked up with RB Rodney Thomas for a 12-yd TD pass to give the Oilers a 16-13 lead. The Oilers’ defense stuffed the Redskins and then the Oilers melted away the final 6:15 of the 4th quarter clock and the Redskins never touched the ball again.
The Oilers are now 3-4 on the season and will travel to the desert to take on the Cardinals next week. The Redskins dropped to 4-3 on the season and will host the Baltimore Ravens Sunday afternoon.

Boyd’s 1997 Replay Game 94 (Week 7) – Dallas at Washington
Redskins outshoot the Cowboys
After falling behind 21-10 late in the 3rd quarter, the Washington Redskins went on the warpath in the 4th behind QB Gus Frerotte and the Redskins outgunned the Dallas Cowboys, 24-21, at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium on Monday Night Football.
The Cowboys proved their championship moxie when they scored two TDs in the 3rd Quarter. Troy Aikman hit David LeFleur in the back of the end zone for a 19-yd TD. Then Sherman Williams plunged in on a 3-yd scoring run.
The Boys seemed to have all the momentum until Frerotte started to move the Skins. He hit Larry Bowie for a 34-yd TD pass and then moved the Skins inside the Dallas 5-yd line on a big third down conversion to Leslie Shepherd. Then Terry Allen capped off the comeback with a 4-yd TD run.
Aikman had one more opportunity to move the Boys into position of a field goal to tie the score, but his pass was batted in the air and Darryl Pounds outrebounded a few players to seal the win with a big interception.
The Redskins now take control of the NFC East with a 4-2 record, while the Cowboys have dropped two straight games to even up at 3-3. The Redskins travel to Tennessee next week, while the Cowboys hope to get back on the horse as they host Jacksonville next week.
