Almost as bad as USC and OJ. Not quite as bad, because OJ was known to be exceptional. The Washington QB was considered "good, but not great". Well, that day, he was great. I am not sure it would matter what defense was out there. Sometimes, a good player gets into a zone where nobody and nothing will stop him. It seemed like it that day.
