Throwback Thursday: An Award-Winning 1982 Season

For today's Throwback Thursday moment presented by Subway

The 1982 season for the Washington Redskins will always be one of the best in franchise history.

Not only did the Redskins cap off their season with the first of three Super Bowl victories, but they did so with an 8-1 regular season record followed by three convincing victories in the NFC side of the playoff bracket.

Accordingly, the team was well-represented when it came to the league's awards that season.

In February 1983, Joe Gibbs took home Coach of the Year honors while Mark Moseley was named the league’s Most Valuable Player and Bobby Beathard was selected as Executive of the Year.
