The hotel, which is equipped with an extra-high antenna to pick up Baltimore stations, offered a gridiron buffet of lox, whitefish and onion rolls ($2.25) and a post-game open bar ($3). Fans at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Fredericksburg, Va., known for such victory celebrations as nude swim-ins, this time observed the Redskins' decisive 16-3 win over the Green Bay Packers with a nice orderly tumult.
