Washington hung with San Francisco early in this playoff game, but the 49ers ultimately proved to be too much for the Redskins.

The Skins held a 10-7 lead in the first quarter after a Rypien-to-Monk TD pass. But Joe Montana threw two TD passes before halftime, and the Skins now trailed 21-10.

Washington threatened several times in the third quarter, but could not come up with scores. A long interception return off of a tipped pass in the fourth quarter finally iced the game for San Francisco and set the Redskins home for the remainder of the playoffs.
