		      Washington Redskins News 
			  October 13, 1992

Washington Redskins defeated Denver Broncos 34-3 last night.  WR Art 
Monks broke the NFL's all-time receiving record, and QB Mark Rypien 
snapped out of his two-week slump.  Also, Wilber Marshall played one 
of his best games of his career.

The Redskins dominated the game from beginning to end before 56,371 
at RFK staduim.  Art Monk made 7 catches for 69 yards, including three 
straight receptions late in the fourth quarter, to break Steve Largent's 
record. Monk caught the record-breaker, a 10-yarder, with 3:12 remaining 
in the fourth quarter, and was mobbed by teammates.  Monk now has 820 
receptions for his career, one more than Steve Largent.

QB Mark Rypien ran for two touchdowns and threw for one, completing 
16 of 26 for 245 yards.

When Rypien trodded on the field during pre-game introduction, he heard 
mostly cheers.  Those cheers got warmer and warmer as he opened with 
a seven-yard completion to Monk and connected on 11 of his first 13 
passes. And he hit some big ones.  His longest pass of the game was 
a 58-yard pass to Orr.  This play completely fooled the Broncos, and 
Orr, running free in the secondary, caught the pass at 35-yard line, 
faked out safety Alton Montgomery and ran for 22 more yards to the
Denver 13.

LB Wilber Marshall led a defensive effort that forced four Broncos
turnovers and sacked Denver QB john elway five times.  He also returned 
an interception 20 yards for a touchdown to give the Redskins a 17-3 
lead in the first quarter.

All-pro OT Jim Lachey sprained his knee while blocking for a Chip
Lohmiller field goal late in first quarter and will be out for 6-8 weeks.  
Lachey will have an MRI exam today to determine the extend of the injury.  
General Manager Charley Casserly is shopping for a replacement.

Center Jeff Bostic's long string of 52 consecutive starts was snapped 
last night.  He suffered a torn rotator cuff in the game against Phoenix 
Cardinals last week.  Guard Raleigh McKenzie moved from left guard to 
take Bostic's center position.

Injury List:
-----------
OT Jim Lachey, sprained knee, will be out 6-8 weeks.

Center Jeff Bostic, out for the season with a torn rotator cuff.

S Darrell Green, broken arm, out for season, but his return by 
near end of season is possible.

G Mark Adickes, back injury, out indefinitely.

OL Ray Brown, sore knee.
