Lombardi's Swan Song After nine winning seasons, five NFL titles, and a record of 98-30-4 (.758) as the #Packers' head coach, Vince Lombardi spent a year as Green Bay's GM and then headed to the nation's capital in 1969 to resurrect the #Redskins. As head coach, he led Washington to a 7-5-2 record — the franchise's first winning season in 14 years. Tragically, Lombardi would succumb to cancer the following summer at the age of 57.

Happy Birthday, Jim Lachey! #Redskins' Super Bowl XXVI Champion Tackle After three seasons in San Diego — which included All-Rookie honors, a Pro Bowl, and a Second-Team All-Pro selection, the former first-rounder was first traded to the Raiders, then quickly to Washington. He became one of the NFL's elite tackles of his era, re-establishing "The Hogs" O-line. Jim put together two more Pro Bowl campaigns and three First-Team All-Pro seasons in D.C. Later named one of the "70 Greatest Redskins" #HTTR
