editEtherly played for the Washington Redskins in 1987 season. The 1987 season began with a 24-day players' strike, reducing the 16-game season to 15. The games for weeks 4–6 were won with all replacement players, including Etherly. The Redskins have the distinction of being the only team with no players crossing the picket line.[1] Those three victories are often credited with getting the team into the playoffs and the basis for the 2000 movie The Replacements.
