1987 Eagles at Pats on YouTube

Reggie White in his prime. Randall Cunningham. Buddy Ryan's ferocious D. Eagles lead this game 31-10 with under 9 minutes in the 4th. That's when a #12 at QB named Tom threw for over 400 yards and brought the Patriots back from the dead and sent the game to OT.

I remember that game, listened to the first half on radio at work and made it home for the 4th quarter.

Living in a different market, it was so hard to get an opportunity to watch the Pats in those days.
My parents were strict so I would secretly turn on the Steelers game and hopefully score updates from time to time. Headline news would do sprits updates at 19 and 49 minutes on the hour.
The only visual I would get is watching NFL primetime on ESPN at 7pm.
It meant so much to me at the time!
(Kids have it easy these days.)

What's with the ugly helmets?

What? A guy can't troll APF for a little offseason fun?

I watched this game live, but forgot the last minute of regulation and how close the Pats came to winning it. Tony Franklin went from Pro Bowl kicker in '86 to shanktastic in one year.

Love how there are TWO barefoot kickers in this game. Heh.
