The Washington Redskins announced Wednesday that the organization will present replacement players from the 1987 team with Super Bowl rings.
The organization announced it would honor the work of the replacement players, who went 3-0 during the NFL strike. Washington went on to finish out the season 11-4, win the NFC East and defeat the Denver Broncos, 42-10, to win Super Bowl XXII.
The replacement players were called into play after many NFL players went on strike arguing free agency rules. Many of the replacements were taunted on the field by fans, ESPN reported.
Many of the players were cut from the team following the strike after six weeks while a few stayed for the playoffs.
