Heart breaking news: Washington Redskins head coach was just confirmed in…..

Football is known as a game of inches, and it’s also a game of moments where teams like the Washington Commanders either seize them, or let them slip through their fingers.

An untimely call against a Commanders receiver not lined up on the line of scrimmage, or a missed pass interference call in the end zone, a dropped pass, a missed tackle, or any number of things, and the results of a single game can be forever changed.

When those games come in the regular season and don’t break your way they can be painful, but when they come in Super Bowls and turn in favor of Washington, the results can be fantastic.

Take, for example, Hall of Fame running back John Riggins’ iconic 43-yard touchdown run in Super Bowl XVII to all but seal a 27-17 win over the Miami Dolphins and earn the franchise its first Lombardi Trophy.

A run that we’re getting to write about for the second time this week, by the way.

The Dolphins’ Killer B’s held Washington to just 13 points through the first three quarters of Super Bowl XVII.

With a 17-13 lead, Miami nearly took control of the game after defensive end Kim Bokamper nearly caught his own deflection of Joe Theismann’s pass inside Washington’s 5-yard line,” CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo recalled.

“Had Bokamper hung on to the pass, he would have waltzed into the end zone while giving the Dolphins a double-digit lead.

Instead, Washington scored the go-ahead touchdown on John Riggins’ iconic 42-yard run on its next possession.

The Dolphins ended up losing the game 27-17.”
