Detroit (3-3) came into Washington (6-0) where they had not won since 1934. After an exchange of punts to open the game, the Washington offense got rolling, putting together a 7 play, 69 yard drive culminating in an Ernest Byner (14-65, 1 td) two yard run. Detroit came right back, though, more quickly and more efficiently, going 80 yards in four plays, the last being a Scott Mitchell (13-19, 217, 1td) 8 yard pass to Herman Moore (7-127, 1 td). Washington answered with Mark Rypien (21-30, 381, 4 tds) hitting Rickey Sanders (4-103, 1 td) for a 29 yard scoring strike. Detroit managed a Jason Hanson field goal on their next drive, but the Lion defense could find no answer to the Skins offense. A 6 play 73 yard drive resulted in a Rypien to Terry Orr (2-24, 1 td) 21 yard touchdown pass. After a Chip Lohmiller field goal, Detroit went on a 6 play 74 yard drive taking only 1:04 and ending with a Barry Sanders (28-127, 1 td) 2 yard touchdown run with only 14 ticks remaining in the half. That would be the last of the
Lion scoring. Washington added touchdowns in each of the remaining quarters, a 10 yard pass to Art Monk (4-41, 1 td) and a 21 yard pass to Gary Clark (6-171, 1 td) . Barry Sanders added to his league leading rushing total but it wasn't enough as the Redskins prevailed 38-17. --
