Gerald Riggs and Earnest Byner joined the team as RBs, and Riggs assumed the role of featured power back. Byner showed his versatility as a runner and receiver, setting the stage for a more featured role in future years. Rypien was handed the starting QB job and responded with a Pro Bowl year, and all three starting WRs posted 1000 yard seasons.<br><br>Unfortunately, the team had trouble in big games against division opponents, and that left them out of the playoffs again despite the winning record. The Giants and Eagles had emerged as strong NFC East teams, and they proved too much for the rebuilt Redskins team still finding its chemistry. en http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week1/Giants <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 New York Giants Tue, 26 Dec 1989 19:00:00 -0500 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week2/Eagles <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Philadelphia Eagles Wed, 06 Dec 1989 19:00:00 -0500 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week3/Cowboys <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Dallas Cowboys Wed, 29 Nov 1989 19:00:00 -0500 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week4/Saints <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 New Orleans Saints Thu, 16 Nov 1989 19:00:00 -0500 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week5/Cardinals <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Arizona Cardinals Sat, 07 Oct 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week6/Giants <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 New York Giants Sun, 17 Sep 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week7/Buccaneers <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mon, 28 Aug 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week8/Raiders <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Los Angeles Raiders Tue, 08 Aug 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week9/Cowboys <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Dallas Cowboys Wed, 19 Jul 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week10/Eagles <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Philadelphia Eagles Thu, 29 Jun 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week11/Broncos <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Denver Broncos Fri, 09 Jun 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week12/Bears <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Chicago Bears Sat, 20 May 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week13/Cardinals <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Arizona Cardinals Sun, 30 Apr 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week14/Chargers <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 San Diego Chargers Mon, 10 Apr 1989 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.theskinszone.com/decades/80s/1989/Week15/Falcons <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"></div> 1989 | 10-6 Atlanta Falcons Tue, 21 Mar 1989 19:00:00 -0500
