The Explosive 1983 Washington Redskins Come Up Just One Win Short

Quarterback Joe Theisman led an explosive offense. The Redskin run under Joe Gibbs from 1982-91 would be ultimately defined by “The Hogs”, the big offensive line, and in the early 1980s, the work of power running back John Riggins. But Theisman was always instrumental in leading the passing game and he had the best year of his career in 1983, en route to an MVP award.
