Some Redskins notes…
Quarterbacks have only thrown four touchdowns in a game twice in 87 years. It was last done by Sonny Jurgensen on 11/29/64.
Larry Brown’s 191 yards on 10/29/72 are the most by Redskins running back against Big Blue.
The most passing yards against the Giants in a single game? Jurgensen? No. Sammy Baugh? Nice try. Rypien? Uh-uh. Doug Williams? Think again. Joe Theismann? Nope.
Its Jay Schroeder, who tossed for 420 yards on 10/27/86 in a 27-20 loss at Giants Stadium on Monday Night Football, the same night the Mets won the 1986 World Series.
