WASHINGTON — Despite winning three Super Bowls over a 10 year stretch and appearing in five over a 20 year span, when it came time for the Pro Football Hall of Fame to announce its “Golden” All-Super Bowl Team, nary a Washington Redskin was honored. For fans of a certain age, it might be difficult to recall a time from 1971 to 92 when the team made the playoffs 13 times while missing the playoffs three other seasons despite winning 10 games. To honor the overlooked, we’ve put together an All-Super Bowl Redskins roster. (AP Photo/File)
