Gibbs back in NFL with Hall of Fame game win
Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs returns to NFL duty with the Redskins in a 20 17 exhibition win over Denver. Gibbs calls it a learning process as he adapts to transmitter play calling instant replay and substitutions while navigating a season ending Achilles tear to Washington’s Jon Jansen and the Hall of Fame weekend atmosphere. The game featured strong fourth quarter play by backups and a 39 yard field goal by Ola Kimrin for the victory. Denver celebrated John Elways Hall of Fame induction with other inductees Barry Sanders Carl Eller and Bob Lee.
