I reviewed the box score, though, and I got it wrong. The game was closer than the score indicated. Roughly even on yards gained and first downs. Washington had three TOs to New York’s two. I recall watching a dominant performance, but it was more even than the score indicated.

Nah, you were right the first time. Once the Giants got up two scores, I knew it was over. Heck, once they scored the first time, I thought it was over.

Dude, you misidentified the Giants’ NFC championship win over the Niners. That was the 1990 season, leading to Scott Norwood wide right in Tampa. I can understand why - you’re blocking out the G-Men’s 17-0 stomping of the Skins, a game you’ll recall wasn’t as close as the score.

Ha! Thanks buddy - I got my thoughts crossed this morning. I was thinking of that '90 game with the late Roger Craig fumble winding up in LT's arms and mistyped. Thanks for catching the error. The '86 game was when Parcells allegedly had the gates opened at the Washington end of the field to make Jay Schroeder's life miserable with the swirling wind as I recall. Skins lost five games that season and three were to the Giants.
