2003 RetroSkins Highlights: Washington Redskins vs Atlanta Falcons
We go back to 2003 for the last-ever Redskins** win over the Atlanta Falcons, from the then-named Georgia Dome in week 2 of the ill-fated ’03 season. Both teams were 1-0 and the Falcons sure looked headed for 2-0, bouncing out to a 17-0 2nd quarter lead in front of a roaring Falcons fanbase before this game turned in a hot second the Redskins’ way. Washington ripped off a 33-7 run to take control of this one, with turnovers and solid defense leading the way. Likeably lackluster Patrick Ramsey, alongside Laverneus Coles, Trung Candidate, John Hall and a bunch of other long-forgotten Redskins, had a better-than-usual outing to lead the ‘Skins back for what would be a rare win for the former first rounder.
It wasn’t pretty from here in 2003, so let’s live in the moment, enjoy the Redskins’ rare 2-0 start, and not Wikipedia the rest of the ’03 results (don’t say you weren’t warned).
Dick Stockton (always a pleasure) and Darryl Jonston on the call from Atlanta on this picture-perfect fall day that no one enjoyed, being cooped up inside a stupid domed stadium.
(** Last ever “Redskins” win meaning just that. Washington didn’t win again vs Atlanta until the Redskins honorific was retired. The post-Redskins teams are current 3-0 vs the Falcons, and will them play again in ’24).

He could have been ..he had talent...but Spurrier's non blocking scheme of blocking with 5 failed that man, he was beaten too death and lost confidence
Welcome back! Sunday's game was the first time in 20 years, since this game, that I saw Redskins at Falcons on local TV in my area.
I remember the 2-0 start was the first time since ‘91 and that stat alone made me believe we were contenders 😂. Also this 33-31 score was the exact same score of the ‘91 team’s week 2 game.
Well before the days of Dick Stockton saying "Orapko" every 5 plays during Redskins games.
Where did u go. Please don’t leave us 😢 too long. Ur highlights bring us joy

Aw, shucks. The highlights will continue to trickle out. Takes time to HD capture the old tapes, edit and upload - so they will come along as time allows. Plenty more to share. Love that you are enjoying them.
Thanks for sharing!
Feeling Like Michael Jackson Do You Remember The Time Lol 😊?
I wish they had kept those Falcons uniforms mam
How they won this game is beyond me. I’m here googling the score to make sure they won lol
Ade Jimoh was horrible 😂 idk how he stayed on the team
