Despite being already eliminated from the playoffs, the Redskins closed out 1989 with a resounding win, spoiling Steve Largent's last game with the Seahawks.
Washington built a 13-0 halftime lead, and added 16 second half points to post an impressive shutout. Byner contributed two TD runs and Rypien threw a long strike to Gary Clark. The defense added a safety in the third quarter to complete the domination.
