Remembering the 2007 Redskins, and four of Joe Gibbs’ greatest games

At 5-6, the Washington Redskins are currently in the middle of a must-win game against the Buffalo Bills. Washington is up 16-14 with time winding down and the Bills are lined up for a field goal. “Time out!” Joe Gibbs yells in an effort to ice Buffalo Bills kicker Rian Lindell. But, that was the second consecutive time out Gibbs called, which resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, shortening a tough 51-yard field goal into a very makeable 36-yarder. Lindell was dead center on his first kick from 51 yards just before Gibbs called the first timeout, so he very well could have made it again whether Gibbs called a second timeout or not.
