After a sluggish first quarter the Redskins started to take control of the game. A Gerald Riggs touchdown set up by a Darrell Green interception gave the Skins a 17-0 lead at halftime.
The Bills had some momentum with the score at 24-10, but Mark Rypien's 30-yard touchdown toss to Gary Clark lifted the Redskins to a 21-point lead. After two Washington field goals by Chip Lohmiller, they would eventually bring the score to 37-10.
