1981 Week 8 | Washington Redskins 24 : New England Patriots 22
The Skins returned to the win column with a nail-biting victory over the Patriots. Washington opened up a nine point lead in the fourth quarter, but New England answered with a late TD and was driving for a go-ahead score to end the game. The Patriot's drive stalled, and they missed a long last-second field goal to preserve Washington's second win.
