  • Now the Broncos are forced to start Stidham, who has started only four games in his 6-year NFL career.
  • He does have some other game experience, having completed 117 of his 197 passing attempts, with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. The Redskins?
  • Yes, for those old enough, we remember that game quite well.
  • Washington had won nine straight during the regular season, finished 11-3, winners of the NFC East.
  • The Redskins then defeated the NFC Central champion Green Bay Packers 16-3 at RFK Stadium in the divisional round contest on Christmas Eve, Sunday. The previous day, Dallas looked all but beaten, trailing 28-13 on the road at San Francisco, when Cowboys head coach Tom Landry benched starter Craig Morton and inserted his starter from the previous season, when Dallas won Super Bowl VI.
