Redskins Seek Third Straight Super Bowl Berth
Washington faces the Dallas Cowboys in the conference title game at RFK Stadium as coach George Allen hopes his team repeats the 1942 world championship. Nine Redskins players have flu symptoms, while guard John Wilbur's kidney bleed is unlikely to sideline him. Washington earned the Eastern Division title with a 10-4 win over Green Bay, and Dallas beat San Francisco to advance. Staubach is expected to start for Dallas, but Allen will play whoever is ready.
