Reply #48: "Defenses Rest as Packers Beat Redskins, 48-47" (1983)

I remember Lynn Dickey smiling pretty much from beginning to end. The players looked like they were having a great time.

"Some rather incredible numbers and numbness were produced in the highest scoring game in the history of Monday night football. Most impressively, there were 1,025 total net yards (a 552-473 advantage for the Redskins); 771 of those yards came by the pass. There were 56 first downs, 33 by the Redskins, and a staggering average of 9.1 yards per offensive play for the Packers."
