This game was played the Sunday after Thanksgiving 1987. I live on the West Coast and this game was not televised in my region. I was 15yo and remember listening to it on Westwood One radio and hanging on to every call. I truely believe had the Skins lost this game they would not have won the Super Bowl. This win really established the confidence and momentum they needed to make that big playoff push. All timer in Redskins lore.
I remember this game. Our family had gone early that afternoon and adopted a Brittany Spaniel and we came home and watched the Redskins come back and win. I remember people calling this the scab game. We lived in Frederick County, MD and it was exciting to be a 9 year old then. HTTR!
~~ the '85 Bears arguably had the best defense ever - but it was only truly great for that one season - the NY Giants OTOH had the best defense in the league for the latter half of the 1980's - so it always took a great offensive effort from any team to beat them - esp. for Washington - as the G-men always brought their A-game for the Skins - these 2 teams just did not like each other ..
Thank God for this old footage! 58 years old and miss my Team👍

I watched this game real time, a game to remember our old glory days. Hail to the Redskins!
Me to loved this team still do
The ONLY Redskins squad to win the Super Bowl AND sweep the Cowpies (and Giants for good measure) in the same season.

The “scab” game vs the Giants was earlier in the season. This was the regular team post-strike.
Man, those Giants were TOUGH to beat!
Man Joe Morris used to give us fits
I miss the good ol' days when they would throw the ball deep like they did in this game
Hail To The Redskins!
The days when we always had the top announcers

I really thought Kelvin Bryant fumbled at the 7:06 mark. 😂😂😂😂
Jay Shreoder's guttiest game...
He was there FOREVER! but had some good games👍
I had forgotten how bad Shrader was and I'm glad.
The ONLY good season Jay Schroeder had was 1986. He was just average outside of that.
Just go back & plsy st R.F.K 🏟 get out Fed ex field/ Redskins 👌🇺🇲👍🤛👊🤜🏈
