1983 Week 8 | Washington Redskins 38 : Detroit Lions 17
There were concerns coming into this game that the Monday Night loss to the Packers could be real momentum-changer for the Redskins. In addition to the unsettling loss, Riggins, Charlie Brown, and return specialist Mike Nelms were all out with injuries.
The rest of the team responded to get Washington back on track. The defense had a big day against Detroit's offenses, netting 5 sacks and three turnovers. The Skins opened up a 28-7 lead and cruised to another solid win.
