The Washington Commanders are going to honor one of the best players to ever wear the burgundy and gold tonight when they officially retire Art Monk's No. 81 jersey. Here are five of his best moments during his time in the DMV.
Monk hauls in a 43-yard touchdown reception against the Cowboys in 1983.

Washington jumped out to a 14-0 lead over the Cowboys in Week 15 of the 1983 season but were trying to fight off a rally that included a Doug Cosbie touchdown and a 35-yard field goal.
With Washington facing a first-and-10 at the Cowboys' 43-yard line, Joe Theismann rolled to his left and spotted Monk open down the sideline. Monk stumbled into the end zone
