Redskins Optimistic After 5-1 Start and Jurgenesen Milestone
Redskins coach George Allen says the 5-1 team is better than last year’s 5-1 squad and seeks to stay in first place. Sonny Jurgensen surpassed 30,000 career passing yards with 180 yards on 11 of 16 attempts, while Allen praises his improved play and protection as a defense backs him. A Winchester fast pit plan hints at a 1973 league entry, with teams like Flat Iron and Carling Beer similar to East Coast stars visiting.
