Game summaries

Week 1 vs. Arizona Cardinals

The Redskins hosted their now-former division foe in the Cardinals’ first season in the revamped NFC West. In Steve Spurrier’s debut as Skins coach his “Fun & Gun” offense put up 442 yards in a 31–23 win. Shane Matthews erupted to three touchdowns while Jake Plummer of the Cardinals was held to just fourteen completions.

[[Monday Night Football]] vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Spurrier's “Fun & Gun” was hammered 37-7 as Matthews completed just ten passes and Danny Wuerffel was sacked four times. At one point the exasperated Spurrier was caught on ABC cameras flapping his gums, a scene replayed in slow motion.
