If the '91 Redskins had a weakness, it was their run-game ranked at just 18th in Y/A at 3.8. But considering that it was no 3.3 (23rd) as the case with the '70 Colts or 3.5 (28th) as the case with the '81 Forty Niners or the 2011 Giants also at 3.5 (but 32nd)
https://profootballresearchers.com/foru ... php?t=5849, and that Washington was dominant practically everywhere else, it should hardly be used as a reason to disregard them. Okay, their rushing-D wasn't all that great either, allowing 3.9 Y/A (11th), and they gave up 11 rushing TDs making them 12th there, but not enough either to historically lessen them.
Again, they weren't da '85 Bears, '89 Forty Niners, '92/'93 Cowboys, or '94 Forty Niners (nor, maybe, the '86 Giants either), but they're not at all far beneath them. Again, like peak Larry Holmes to peak Ali/Frazier/Foreman; the Easton Assassin could only fight who was in his immediate time and, frankly, it was still very good competition from '78 thru '85! Very good! Like '91 for Washington!
Back to that run-game of theirs, Tampa Bay in 2002 was also at just 3.8 per carry. But that placed them at 28th in the league instead of just 18th!
As for the '87 season - from now on when I mention a W/L mark of a team from that season, I'm simply going to give the actual non-scab record without actually typing the word, "non-scab" before the record. Examples, I'm now going to simply type, "On the final week of the season, it was 7-4 Washington at 8-3 Minnesota", or "Both San Fran and NO each finished at 10-2", or "The Eagles finished above-500", and so on.
