NFC Div Rd: Bears Scalp Skins 31-13

In real life the Skins came into Soldier field and went down 14-0 at the half only to come out of the locker room with a new game plan devised by resident genius Joe Gibbs, which enabled them to score 28 unanswered points and derail the Bears dynasty that was not to be. Of course in real life the Bears had to rely on "Bambi" aka..Doug Fluite, not Jim McMahon who was available to Coach Mikhli in SAT. You see Chicago was a completly different team with the punky QB at the helm. While statistically he was never a top rated passer, McMahon had all the intangibles one could want + he had a unique way of deflecting all the attention away from his teammates and onto his often injured shoulders.

This game got off to an auspicious start. At one point Washington had a 13-7 lead in the first quarter. One of their TD's came off of a blocked Maury Buford punt, which Rich Milot recovered and ran back 31 yards. After that all the scoring went Chicago's way. Dennis Gentry grabbed two TD catches as Washington keyed Walter Payton and McMahon made them pay dearly.
