The 1987 season was strike shorted with only 15 games played by each team in the league.  The Redskins used replacement players for three games and the replacements won all three games.  But this Super Bowl team was highlighted by the incredible MVP performance by quarterback Doug Williams.

Williams was knocked out of the game early, but returned to lead a 35 point barrage in the second quarter to completely destroy John Elway and the Denver Broncos 42-10.
