1991 Week 7 | Washington Redskins 42 : Cleveland Browns 17


Washington pulled away from a scrappy Browns team to post another impressive score.

The game was tied after the first quarter, with Cleveland answering a Rypien-to-Monk TD with one of their own. The Skins appeared to blow the game open in the second quarter, scoring on runs by Byner and Riggs to pull out to a 21-7 lead.

The Browns made a run in the third quarter, scoring 10 points to narrow the Washington lead to 21-17. But Cleveland could not contain the Redskins running backs, and rookie Ricky Ervins got in the end zone before the third quarter ended to open the lead up to 28-17.

Washington put the the game out of reach after Riggs scored early in the fourth quarter to pad the margin at 35-17. Ervins put the nail in the coffin by bursting for a long TD run as the fourth quarter was winding down.

Monk's 14 yard TD catch in the first half put him ahead of Charlie Joiner on the career receptions list. Later in this game Monk hauled in a 46 yard catch and had an apparent second TD ruled out at the 1 yard line, even though he caught the ball while standing in the end zone.
