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.
