Washington’s defense dominated New York holding the Giants scoreless until late in the game and recording four sacks. Offensively the Redskins matched with a third quarter quarterback draw by Joe Theismann and a Lorch interception return for a TD turning point.
Talbert and Theismann voiced confidence after a three game start as Washington improved each week at RFK. Theismann suffered a forehead gash requiring 15 stitches but expected to play, saying the helmet fit issue was his own fault and not serious.
Washington topped New York 27 to 0 as Joe Theismann threw for a TD and ran for another, Clarence Harmon caught a 4 yard score, and Karl Lorch returned an INT for a TD. Brian Kelley and Benny Malone traded personal shots early, with Kelley flagged for kicking the Redskins’ running back.
Baltimore's Earl Weaver jokes about the magic number as the Orioles beat the Tigers 2-1 to clinch a 98th win and reduce the division chase to three with Milwaukee. Al Bumbry and Ken Singleton homer, while Aurelio Rodriguez nearly ties it with a late two-out drive.
James Wood star Mike Boulais earns Defensive Player of the Week after eight tackles and an interception as McNamara’s aerial attack stalls. Senior Boulais credits film work and speed, while Robert Green powers Warren County with 208 rushing yards in two games and eyes 1,000 season yards. Green’s 140-yard game sparks offensive award talk despite a sprain risk.
