Washington Final Score History (45-10 and 45-15)

[kleese]

Breaking all kinds of new ground this season.... 

 

The final score on Thanksgiving was the 20th NFL game to end 45-10 with 19/20 being in the regular season. The lone playoff game was the Patriots smoking the Broncos in the 2013 Divisional round (the Tebow year for Denver). 

 

Of the 19 regular season games, Washington has been involved in four-- all on the losing end. 

 

1985: Loss at Bears

1998: Loss vs 49ers

2013: Loss vs Chiefs 

2023: Loss at Cowboys

 

--1985 was a rarity in the Gibbs era-- a blowout loss. 1985 wasn't a great year for the team. Really struggled with a team getting older. Joey T going down to LT on MNF and being replaced by Schroeder actually gave the team a bump to a stronger finish-- early to middle part of season was a bit rough. That day in Chicago we led 7-0 at halftime and then proceeded to give up 31 second quarter points. This Jim McMahon threw a TD pass to Walter Payton and Walter Payton threw a TD pass to Jim McMahon. Joey T has had his infamous 7 yard punt in this game. 

 

--It would be 14 seasons before another NFL game ended 45-10, and it was us doing the honors again. Expectations were high in 1998, but a bad loss week one to Giants sucked a lot of life out of the team. The next week our home opener was on MNF vs the Niners. Much like the Bears game, we jumped out to a 7-0 lead--- then the wheels fell off. It was 21-10 at halftime (just like Thanksgiving this year) and then a total drubbing in second half en route to our 0-7 start that season. 

 

--We were 3-9 entering the Chiefs game in 2013, so it didn't really hurt per se, but it did wind up being sort of the symbolic end to the Shanny and RG3 era with the now famous halftime pic of the nearly empty stadium on a snowy day. It's pretty hard to give up 38 points in a half, but we accomplished that this game. 

 

--No need to rehash Thanksgiving, but I'll point out that I was there-- actually thought we were competitive up until the failed the fourth and one midway through third quarter. Total meltdown from there. 

 

The game against Miami was not only a Washington Scorigami and it was an NFL scorigami! First time in NFL history a game has ended 45-15. Maybe we can make it two games in a row vs Rams

I was at the MNF game against the Niners and left early when it got out of hand. It was fun listening to sports talk on the way home as they were taking calls from people watching the game in progress and listening to the freaking out.

You think we can hold the Rams to 45?

Dubious proposition, at best. This secondary couldn't hold USC under 30.

I actually think we will play fairly well and cover the 6.5 points Sunday. It’s hung under 7 all week… sometimes that’s a strong tell because no doubt the public money will all be going on Rams.
