LOVERRO: Joe Jacoby’s induction into Pro Football Hall of Fame is long overdue

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

There is still one missing piece to define the greatness of those Washington Redskins Super Bowl teams in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.

There is, of course, Joe Gibbs, the coach who led those men to four Super Bowl appearances and three championships from 1981 through 1991. John Riggins put the team on his back in those three memorable playoff weeks in Washington, punctuated by 43-yard touchdown run in the 27-17 win in Super Bowl XVII.

There is Art Monk, the silent warrior who set the standard for professionalism, and Darrell Green, the cornerback who was the common thread throughout the defenses of each of those Redskins championship squads.
