It's super bowl weekend, and as we prepare to watch the Rams and Bengals in super bowl 56, let me take you back to super bowl 22 in January 1988 between the Washington Redskins and the Denver broncos. The quarterback for the Redskins that evening was 32-year-old. Doug Williams. And by halftime, Williams had made NFL history. In the second quarter alone, he passed for $340 yards and four touchdowns. The Redskins ended up as super bowl champions, and Williams was the game's MVP. He was the first black quarterback to start and win a super bowl. A couple of years later, he wrote an autobiography called Quarterblack. And even though this interview is 30 years old, it still seems very relevant today, especially in light of the Brian Flores lawsuit against the NFL.
