Bye week for the Washington Football Team seems like a good time for stories of better days. Lord knows this franchise has plenty of those, although with the passing of each wretched season under the ownership of Dan Snyder, you have to reach further and further back for ane story that will make you smile.
The Over-the-Hill Gang made many Washington fans smile.
This was the group of veterans that George Allen brought from his Los Angeles Rams squad and other places around the league to Washington for the 1971 season.
One of those transplants was a defensive end from Joe Namath’s Super Bowl champion New York Jets who is often overlooked when fans remember the Over-the-Hill Gang.
