what else can you say about the game. real basic, real simple. nothing fancy. >> reporter: the icing on the cake a 6-yard touchdown from theseman to charlie brown. the feeling that later i'm going to cry like a babe. right now i'm at an emotional peak. it's the greatest feeling i've ever had. >> reporter: the parade that followed delighted d.c. second year head coach joe gibbs dedicated the win to the faithful. >> there's no other fans like our fabs and i want you to know that each one of you has a small piece of this trophy today. one local coffee shop is probably thinking that milk was a bad choice this morning.
