New York Giants
After kicking a 22 yard field goal with :54 seconds left in the 4th quarter to send the game into Overtime, St. Louis Cardinals kicker Neil O’donoghue would go on to miss 3 field goals in the extra period, to secure a 20-20 tie with NFC East foe, The New York Football Giants. This happens to be the only tie game in Monday Night Football history;
In a magical two season span with the New York Football Giants, (‘85 &’86) the mighty Joe Morris racked up a whopping 2,852 yards rushing and scored 35 Touchdowns! For perspective he had only 2,733 yards and 15 TD’s during his other six seasons in the league.
Remember back in the 1990 NFC Championship when it was the foot of Matt Bahr that propelled the Giants to Super Bowl XXV? There would be no chance for a San Francisco 49ers 3-peat, as Bahr made 5 of 6 field goals, and the Giants controlled the game on the ground for a 15-13 victory. I’ll mostly remember this game for the countless replays over the years of Joe Montana almost getting his arm taken off by Leonard Marshall.
Question of The Day?!? I’ve got an Issue of Blaze going to the 1st person who can explain to the class why Super Bowl XXV MVP Ottis Anderson wore his baggy ass practice pants during the biggest game of the year. Have a terrific Thursday Dudes!
New York Giants kicker Joe Danelo had quite the Homecoming when the Giants headed to the Pacific Northwest to face off against the Seattle Seahawks in October of 1981. Danelo a former Washington State Cougar had his family in the stands that day to witness a career best 6 field goal performance, including a 54 yarder in the Giants 32-0 victory of the lowly Hawks. Happy Sunday !!
