Rewarding Moments In Redskins History: Redskins Hold Eagles Scoreless

Maryland Lottery My Lottery Rewards, we continue to celebrate the 25year anniversary of the 1991 championship season by looking back game by game. This week, the Redskins once again had a strong victory keeping their opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, scoreless.

The Redskins were looking to start the 1991 season 5-0. Their NFC East Division rivals, the 3-1 Philadelphia Eagles, were the only thing that stood in their way.

And once again the Washington defense proved that it could handle almost any challenge.

While the game remained scoreless after the first quarter on Monday Night Football, the Redskins opened things up in the second quarter with a 19-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mark Rypien to wide receiver Art Monk.
