Divisional Round, 1974: Los Angeles Rams 19 Washington 10

Game information
Linebacker Isiah Robertson returned an interception 59 yards in the fourth quarter, the last of six Washington turnovers, to clinch the Rams victory in a brutal defensive battle in which both teams combined for just 444 total yards. The two teams had met on the same field thirteen days earlier on Monday night, won by Washington 23–17, which was the sole home loss of the season for the Rams.

Los Angeles scored on the opening drive, moving the ball 72 yards in eight plays, with quarterback James Harris' two completions to Harold Jackson for 35 total yards setting up his 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Bob Klein. The Redskins then scored ten unanswered points before halftime. Billy Kilmer's 41-yard completion to Charley Taylor got the team moving on the way to a 35-yard Mike Bragg field goal, making the score 7–3. In the second quarter, the Rams forced and recovered a fumble from Kilmer on the Washington 38, but the Redskins defense made a stand to prevent the Rams from scoring. Later on, Washington cornerback Pat Fischer intercepted a pass from Harris and returned it 40 yards to the Rams 23, setting up Moses Denson's 1-yard rushing touchdown to give Washington their first lead at 10–7.

In the third quarter, Rams defensive tackle Merlin Olsen forced a fumble from running back Larry Brown that linebacker Jack Reynolds recovered on the LA 44-yard line, leading to David Ray's 37-yard field goal. Then returner Doug Cunningham lost a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, resulting Ray's 26-yard field goal to give LA a 13–10 lead. In the fourth quarter, coach George Allen replaced Kilmer with Sonny Jurgensen. With the Redskins driving for the possible tying field goal, defensive tackle Merlin Olsen pressured Jurgensen into throwing the game clinching interception to Robertson, who weaved his way back and forth across the field as he ran 59 yards to the end zone. The extra point kick failed, but Olsen then recorded two more sacks, forcing a punt and enabling LA to hold the ball until 3:23 remained in the game. On Washington's next drive, Reynolds intercepted a pass from Jurgensen to put the game away. Third-string quarterback Joe Theismann was returning punts for the Redskins at this time. This was the last game in hall of famer Jurgensen's career.

This was the second postseason meeting between the franchises; the Rams also won the 1945 NFL Championship Game, their final game as the Cleveland Rams.
