LONDON — The Redskins offense is on a tear, piling up 546 yards against the Bengals on Sunday,after racking up 413 the previous week against the Lions, though both efforts failed to produce a win.
The offensive explosion in London was historic: the fourth-most in team history according to records dating back to 1950, and the most since a 559-yard effort vs. Atlanta on Nov. 10, 1991.
That 1991 game featured a career performance from Redskins quarterback Mark Rypien, who threw for six touchdowns and 442 yards on just 16 completions. Redskins fans will likely remember some of the names on the receiving end for Rypien that day: Gary Clark had three touchdowns, Art Monk had two and Terry Orr, one.
