SUPER BOWL 22 (January 31, 1988 at San Diego)
WASHINGTON REDSKINS (13-4) 42, DENVER BRONCOS (12-4-1) 10 - NFC champion Washington won Super Bowl XXII and its second NFL championship of the 1980s with a 42-10 decision over AFC champion Denver. The Redskins, who also won Super Bowl XVII, enjoyed a record-setting second quarter en route to the victory. The Broncos broke in front 10-0 when quarterback John Elway threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ricky Nattiel on the Broncos' first play from scrimmage. Following a Washington punt, Denver's Rich Karlis kicked a 24-yard field goal to cap a seven-play, 61-yard scoring drive. The Redskins then erupted for 35 points on five straight possessions in the second period and coasted thereafter. The 35 points established an NFL postseason mark for most points in a period. Redskins quarterback Doug Williams led the second-period explosion by passing for a Super Bowl record-tying four touchdowns, including 80- and 50-yard passes to wide receiver Ricky Sanders, a 27-yard toss to wide receiver Gary Clark, and an 8-yard pass to tight end Clint Didier. Washington scored five touchdowns in 18 plays with total time of possession of only 5:47. Overall, Williams completed 18 of 29 passes for 340 yards and was named the game's most valuable player. His pass-yardage total eclipsed the Super Bowl record of 331 yards by Joe Montana of San Francisco in Super Bowl XIX. Sanders ended with 193 yards on nine catches, breaking the previous Super Bowl yardage record of 161 yards by Lynn Swann of Pittsburgh in Game X. Rookie running back Timmy Smith was the game's leading rusher with 22 carries for a Super Bowl-record 204 yards, breaking the previous mark of 191 yards by Marcus Allen of the Raiders in Game XVIII. Smith also scored twice on runs of 58 and 4 yards. Washington's six touchdowns and 602 total yards gained also set Super Bowl records. Redskins cornerback Barry Wilburn had two of the team's three interceptions, and strong safety Alvin Walton had two of Washington's five sacks.
o Gary Mullen. Pittsburgh scored three TDs in the final quarter but failed on a two-point conversion with 29 seconds

DENVER DYNAMITE (4-2) 45, PITTSBURGH GLADIATORS (4-2) 16 - The Dynamite got off to an early start with a fumble recovery for a touchdown by OL/DL Phil Forte, along with a two-yard touchdown run by FB/LB Richard Prather (with a failed two-point conversion) in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Denver's domination continued with Quarterback Whit Taylor completing a 26-yard touchdown pass to WR/DB Gary Mullen (with another failed two-point conversion) for the only score of the period. In the third quarter, the Dynamite continued their destruction with Taylor completing a 32-yard touchdown pass to WR/LB Richard Rodgers, along with WR/DB Steve Trimble returning an interception 47 yards for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, the Gladiators finally managed to score as Quarterback Mike Hohensee completed an 11-yard touchdown pass to WR/LB Russell Hairston (with a successful two-point conversion). Denver would wrap up the game with Taylor and Mullen hooking up with each other on a five-yard touchdown pass and even a 19-yard touchdown pass (failed PAT). Pittsburgh's final strike came from Quarterback Brendan Folmar to WR/DB Rodney Richmond.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION - Dixon first floated an idea for his new league in early 1987, raising the idea of drafting high school players who were ineligible because of tougher academic requirements by the NCAA. After the Fox Network was launched in 1987, Dixon proposed the "American Football Federation", which would have 10 teams and draft academically ineligible high school graduates. Dixon submitted a proposal to Fox President Jamie Kellner under which Fox would pay $10 million to televise 20 regular-season games in prime time from late February to the end of June. The franchises would be in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Houston, Tampa, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and either Orlando or Miami. Unbelievably, Dixon was still not done.
NORTH AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Following the collapse of the USFL, former Oakland Athletics owner Charles Finley proposed a plan to merge the Canadian Football League with teams from the dormant United States Football League. Spokesmen for Turner Broadcasting System and Fox Television said Finley has approached them about the proposal, which remains in a formative stage. The plan grew out of an idea several owners in the USFL had to merge the remnants of their league with the CFL. Finley named Birmingham, New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Memphis, Phoenix, Jacksonville and Dallas-Fort Worth as potential candidates for the U.S. franchises.
