In today's Rewarding Moments In Redskins History presented by Maryland Lottery My Lottery Rewards, we look back at kicker Mark Moseley's MVP season in 1982, when he sent the Redskins into the playoffs.
It was a defining kick in Mark Moseley’s career and MVP season.
With little time remaining and the game on the line Dec. 19, 1982, Moseley booted a 42-yard field goal, through the snowy RFK Stadium conditions, that was tipped at the line and wobbled over the cross bar with just four seconds to go.
It was Moseley’s third straight kick that afternoon (the others from 20 and 31 yards) and gave the Redskins a 15-14 victory over the Giants, earning the burgundy and gold a playoff spot and pushing their record in the strike-shortened season to 6-1.
