The first NFL strike was in 1982. The Washington Redskins won Super Bowl XVII The second NFL strike occurred in 1987. Once again, the Washington Redskins won Super Bowl XXII.
The Redskins won Super Bowls in two strike years. In 1982, the players went on strike and seven games were cancelled. The Redskins wound up the regular season at 8-1 and defeated the Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII 27-17. In 1987, the players went on strike and one game was cancelled and three other games were played with replacement players. The Redskins wound up the regular season with an 11-4 record and defeated the Broncos in Super Bowl XXII 42-10.
Defensive back Dennis Woodberry was a replacement player for the Redskins in 1987 and wound up on the roster for the Super Bowl and the following season.
None. The Washington Redskins won both Superbowls - XVII and XXII - that took place in strike years (1982 and 1987 seasons).

Not currently (2010) but there have been two that played in the NFL. Wilbur Young was a defensive lineman for the Chiefs, Chargers, and Redskins between 1971-1982 and Warren Loving was a running back for the Bills during the strike games in 1987.
The Washington Redskins beat the Denver Broncos by the score of 42-10 to win Super Bowl XXII. It was their second Super Bowl victory. The game was played in San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium. Redskins QB Doug Williams went absolutely nuts in this game, passing for 4 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter alone to make the second half a rather anticlimactic half. Like the Redskins' first Super Bowl win in 1983, it came after a strike-shortened season. It was yet another testament to Hall of Fame Coach Joe Gibbs' ability to out-prepare opposing coaches in an extraordinarily chaotic season.
