Washington is still looking for its second team to advance; the top of region 13 has really opened up with the No Longer Perfect Dolphins getting bounced, and the 8th seeded Redskins look to capitalize. 4th in both offense and defense. Billy Kilmer is 35, he gets the start with the 40 year old Sonny Jurgenson on the sideline. 10 scores and 6 picks for Kilmer. 33 year old Chris Hanburger and 30 year old Ken Houston lead the defense, no All Pros for George Allen's veteran group.
