The Dallas Cowboys, The Washington Redskins, The New York Giants, and The Philadelphia Eagles. 13 combined Super Bowls. 21 Combined Super Bowl Appearances. 4 Legendary Franchises. Legendary Players on All Teams. Players like Lawrence Taylor, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, Jerome Brown, Reggie White, Phil Simms, Tiki Barber, Michael Strahan, Sean Taylor, Joe Theismann, Darrell Green, Eli Manning, Terrell Owens, Donovan McNabb, DeSean Jackson, and So many other players. This Division at it's peak was the most competitive in NFL History.
What was sad to me as a young Eagles fan was thinking the Eagles would win at least one Super Bowl in that era. You're right though. Lots of great players from the 4 main teams (Cardinals always gave the Eagles fits too!)
You’re giving the eagles too much credit. They only account for 1 of the 13 Super Bowl wins
@@robertcullen7042 No they didn't win any at that time but, Elliot mentions in the video how playing against the Eagles may toughened up Washington for a superbowl run. I'd argue the same thing for the Giants too. Great divisional battles.
@Gravivector Yes Eli Manning. Eli has led the Giants to 2 Super Bowls. Yes he may have been carried by his defense, but when Eli Had to make some clutch throws he has.
@@robertcullen7042 I never gave them Credit. I said Combined Super Bowls. The Eagles are a legendary franchise. Each of the 4 Franchises are Legendary in their own ways
One of the most underrated nfl rivalries, and I’m a giants fan saying this
NYG Forever but it’s lame nowadays.
@@collinghood6828 bruh wtf redskins eagles is not lame its one of the best rivalries in the nfc east and in the nfl doesn't matter what their records are its a intense rivalry
jake highley let’s see this Monday
One thing I love about this division is how we all have top notch rivalries with each other. It doesn't even matter what any of our records are, we try and beat the absolute dogshit out of each other every game. We make the other divisions look boring
Remember when the Redskins were really winning CONSISTENTLY?
between 1986-1990
the Redskins were coached by: Joe Gibbs,
The Giants by Bill Parcells,
The Cowboys by Tom Landry (1986-1988)/ Jimmy Johnson (1989-1990)
and the Eagles by Buddy Ryan. How about that for a battle of Coaching Legends!
Four of those five are now in the Hall of Fame, but even though Buddy Ryan's the odd one out, that doesn't mean he didn't leave his own mark on the game.

Gotta love that 80s football music
This music sounds like old school late night HBO or Skinamax lol.
During this era the NFC East was
The
Toughest
Division
in all of pro sports.
Facts
...and the Phoenix Cardinals
@@targettoad691usually still won at least 6 games vs that stacked division. If they played in the central or west? They would’ve made the playoffs half a dozen times.
Look at all that glorious hitting and all that defense... sigh
Yep. The NFL is now like Arena ball.
Like damn the defense back in the day would kill you and you still got back up and kept playing
The NFL was much better in this era in my opinion. It had better defenses, better offenses, and better overall teams.
When the NFC East was a powerhouse. I love finesse, but I also love me some smash-mouth POWER football.
I LOVE these videos. Keep 'em comin' Elliot!
The Eagles were not even a top 5 NFC franchise during that time. That's how dominant the NFC got. They probably make it to a couple super bowls if they were in the AFC
Disagree. The 49ers, Giants, Redskins and Bears were the powers at that time. The Eagles were the fifth best team of that time. The Vikings were probably the next best team. Dallas hadn't become the team they would eventually be.
they make it if Cunnigham was healthy in 1991 imo
@@cbod14 Rams ,saints, Vikings, were good during that time also.
It didn't help the Eagles that Cuttingham got hurt every year
Gang Green Eagles Defense!
Starter jackets and zubaz pants! Miss those days
jalos012 still wear mine. (The starter jacket not the zubaz pants)
@@4aj14camracing9 whew...lol i was about to say lol
Cunningham was slick when running out the pocket
most overated QB ever, no feel for the position.
rbby15 that’s why when he was a 36 year old who had retired for a year, came back in 1998 and absolutely lit it up one more time.
The Redskins before Snyder. Wish we could go back.
When they sold out every game
As an Eagles fan I agree I miss real competition
Snyder ain’t goin nowhere cuz idiots still buy tickets to watch garbage get use to misery
The NFL before Rodger Goodell. Wish we could go back!
The real rivalry at that time was Giants vs redskins, from 1986 through 1992 they combined for four Super Bowl championships.
Great rivalry from a Bears fan! I loved 80’s and 90’s NFL football
The 1991 Week 17 contest - Redskins gave it to the Eagles (And I say this as a Eagles fan), the Redskins could have easily gone 15-1, but Gibbs was smart and sat a lot of players heading into the game, and sat more players after the half not risking injury. That 91 Redskins team is about as dominant as any team ever
Harry Engel Fuck yes, (un)fortunately, they’re victims of their own humility...Also,
-#1 in yards per pass attempt on offense AND defense
-Got 50 sacks, gave up 9
-The vaunted Gang Grene defense gave up 207 YPG in their other 14 games and well over 300 to the Redskins even with the starters pulled (more than one objective Best Ever list has cited “they made the ‘91 Eagles defense look average...twice” as a factor in putting them at the top)
Harry Engel One of the biggest reasons they’re always overlooked is that, unlike some great teams, none of their players have made it their life’s work to constantly remind everyone within earshot just how great they were.
91 redskin team was legendary. It was a great time in the DC md area miss those days
@Fries Because they basically let the Eagles have the last game of the regular season
Yeah best team ever. 1st in D ad 2nd in O
Vai Sikahema! That guy was tough as nails.
I've met him several times....heck if a nice guy but I wouldn't mess with him
Probably the greatest name ever
It was that era when Gibbs finally unlocked the puzzle of the 46 defense under Buddy Ryan.
He actually unlocked in 85. The Redskins lost to The Bears in 85 45-10. The next year they played The Bears in the playoffs and won easily. When Gibbs went up against Ryan in Philadelphia he used three WR's to spread the defense out. No other team tried this but Gibbs did and other teams figured it out.
@@cbod14 Thanks for the context but at least that kinda fits my "that era" contention if you squint hard enough LOL
WHAT??? PLEASE!!!! The Buddy Ryan 46 defense only was good against BAD QB's and young inexperienced QB;s. Fucking Jim Eeverett in 1989 came into the Vet and OMG...FLipper Anderson TORCHED them. Gibbs was counter tray and that is it. The eagles had a 20 pint lead on the 49ers and Montana...candy ass arm Montana bombed all over them. After one ear in the league , Troy Aikman in his second year October 1990 dissected the 46 defense all over the field.
@@ms.felonystrutter2472 that because of a guy affectionately known in Philly as Izel "Toast" Jenkinz. The Birds crushed Montanna in 89' to the point that his Oline coach actually apologized to Joe. Watch the 49ers yearbook from 89' and they were taunting Jenkinz because he was visibly afraid. Watch Montanna top 10 all time comebacks and that game ranks #2 over all.
WOW typical eagles fan, holding to all of those regular season wins..
Underrated rivalry. The entire nfc east has great rivalry traditions. The glory days will return. It’s a cycle.
The NFC East was a powerhouse in the late ‘80s. Their Divisional games were football at its finest hour back then.
I miss old school NFL from that era and older. Yards and points were both harder to come by, and it made for games like these.
I don't get how you cover all of these games without a single Art Monk highlight!
1988 wk 14 he converted on 4th down to set up that winning FG
1989 wk 2 he had a late TD that seemed to clinch the win
1990 playoffs he scored the game-winning TD
1991 wk 17 he caught the 800th reception of his career during a key late drive
He's on your thumbnail for crying out loud!!
Art Monk my Favorite Redskin Ever. And Darrell Green and Sean Taylor.
They appear to have covered every Eagles win over that span here, because the Redskins were 7-4 in the ‘88-‘92 matchups.
Art Monk was underrated and Joe Gibbs had Buddy's number when it counted (Iggles fan here)
Pat Summerall has the voice of God when he announces.
The nfc east was the toughest division in the nfl.
Love the Eagles green uniforms.
I HATED that ugly color!
As a proud Ravens fan, I love when the NFC east teams play each other.
You can pick either 2 of the 4 teams to do a profile on.
Thank you, NFL Throwbacks, for using the original broadcast footage of these games in your clips, rather than the overly-dressed-up NFL Films stuff. Nothing against NFL Films, but it's nice to re-live these moments as we originally lived them.
NFL films made the NFL legendary
Body Bag game was unlike any other game in NFL history. Redskins got so beat up that game that they had to put in Brian Mitchell, a running back, at QB lol
mapquestboy Only for the Redskins to kick their ass in the playoffs
mapquestboy Redskins to a man said that game launched them to The Super Bowl the following year. The team was incensed at a team that had accomplished nothing was laughing at them. They vowed to make them eat those taunts if they saw them again and they did.
The eagles have the exact same number of Super Bowl wins as the Jets and Buccaneers.
Eagles choke in wild card !!! Choke.
91 was the last time the redskins we’re actually relevant
I loved watching Reggie White play, only saw his later years since i was born in 94 but he was a beast. R.I.P The Great Reggie White
Crazy
80-91 redskins dominated the nfc
3 superbowls
Blew elway and a great buffalo bills team out
It’s just a shame we aren’t that team again
Even Montana struggled against Washington
How was Philly considered a beast back in this time span when Washington, Dallas and NYG all won Super Bowls in this time span. The Eagles just kept choking come playoff time in this era.
Randall Cunningham got injured a lot. He would probably be pretty good in today’s era
The Eagles under Buddy Ryan were a fraud!! Zero playoff wins!! ZERO!
8-19 VS Giants/Redskins/49ers/Bears...
Because they were good enough to beat anybody and win a super bowl. Didnt turn out that way but they were still that dangerous.
I always loved that the redskins played in a really tough division because Coach Gibbs always said you have to be battle tested by the time you reach the playoffs.
As young teen, a Saints Fan, I loved watching these 2 and the Giants go at it on Sundays. Loved the Eagles, used them on Tecmo Bowl
Who Dat...I feel ya. I remember those days
yess we need more 15 plus mins video! i love vault stories
I'm not even an eagles fan or a redskins fan but I appreciate the rivalry. How good were those old eagles uniforms and how great was Cunningham
12:49 - LOOK at THAT stat. If that’s not a great fought rivalry, I do t know what is. That’s insane the point spread over 115 games. Awesome!
Damn That Took me Back to my Childhood on Sundays!!! #HTTR
The 92 Redskins still made the playoffs.
@@IanMalcolm-rw5pn neither did the eagles. Only one NFC East team went anywhere in 1992 ;)
@@IanMalcolm-rw5pn they lost to the Niners in the Divisional round on the road in another classic battle.
I hope the modern NFC East can resurrect itself. 4 of the greatest franchises in the entire league.
That was so funny 🤣😆 "the eagles were jacked up in front of their friendly crowd"
The NFC East was so loaded during that time that the Giants and Cowboys also won Super Bowls during this window.
I bet 90% of you guys didn't know Cris Carter was drafted by the Eagles before he was a Viking
Uh most fans of that era know this. The reason i say this is because most of us were in shock when he was waived and thought Buddy had lost his fucking mind. There was another reason behind it of course but again it was a shock when it happened
@@cbod14 the key is of that era. Most fans now didn't know that. But i remember cris carter saying getting cut was the best thing that ever happened to him
@@aidanberk3333 True he might be dead if he stayed in Philly. What most fans probably don't know is that The Giants put in a waiver claim for him. The Vikings did as well, due to the fact that they had a worse record they got him. Who knows what happens if he ended up in Giants blue.
Christian Boddie now that I did not know. Imagine Phil Simms and Cris carter. If Cris carter played in New York the way he played in philly, is cutting him would’ve been a big deal
Aidan Berk As Carter himself said I’d have fewer catches but a Super Bowl ring.
The Eagles are the ONLY NFC East team that has stayed CONSISTENTLY dominant since the 80's
My 1st year as a season ticket holder in 92. I remember that game. Section 727. The entire season with 2 preseason games cost me $199. The first season without Jerome Brown.
The Eagles-Redskins rivalry is one of the most greatest historical rivalries in NFL and sports history.
Whats crazy is i remember all of these games. I was age 8-12
82 baby so i understand how you feel!!!
The NFC east was one of the toughest divisions during 70's, 80's, and 90's
Great video of a great NFL Rivalry!!!!
I wish I was alive during this time. Other than the yearly playoff loss in the 1st round it seemed fun
I wouldn't. Watching the giants, Redskins and Dallas winning the superbowl three straight years. I'd go crazy
Kyle Adrien 4 straight years
As an Eagles fan those years were fun as all hell, but equally as frustrating. You were on the edge of your seat every week, and soany fluke, freak, and trick things happened it was like a circus shoe. Randall was so unpredictable but the defense could change the course of a game on every play. Buddy was a great showman and a master with the media. You can search the NFL yearbooks from 88-92 and see how week by week you were never bored.
You guys outdid yourself on this one. A+
Amazing video 👌👏👏👏
I’m a die hard Eagles fan and I tell people all the time about those Redskins teams ...the redskins at that time were at the end of a dynasty and they never get credit for that because they did it with 3 different QB’s but if you won 2-3 Super Bowls back then in the nfc East you were good.
Great video.
I Love to see this Video today and when Football was Football. Hogs VS Eagles. Classic games. Joe Gibbs is one of the best Coach's ever. Redskins 4 Life. I'm about to go see Redskins VS The Giants and I can't wait. HTTR!!!!!!
Great video!!
You Should do an entire NFC East
80´s and 90´s Football was the best!!
Man, I miss those old Eagle uniforms. The NFC east was crazy back in the 80’s when you throw in the Giants.
It’s funny how the Redskins played backups in the last game in the last game in 1991
Percent Wizard because they had already clinched home - field advantage throughout the playoffs so they didn't have to play their starters
Lol ik
Was it the last game though?
@@LampwicksCigar they were 14-1 and there are 16 games in a season. Work it out
stealthiscool He said it was the last game twice, which is why I cracked that lame joke. Get it man
Imagine Randall Cunningham under today's rules.
I remember after the body bag game I was so pissed, I vowed next time we meet the Eagles we were gonna utterly destroy them! Sweet revenge came in the playoffs when we bounced them in the wild card game, then as a bonus, because of this loss, the Eagles fired Buddy Ryan! It was at this moment I knew that God was a Redskins fan
Classic NFL
Watched football since 66,never seen a face mask get bent like that.
Not sure how Eagles fans feel about the era with not coming away without a SB showing, but it was good and stressful times. The last couple 80s season, I was not sure how the Eagles didn't make it all the way. So dominate at times during the season. The 1991 last game note. Washington pulled most of their players in the second half. Eagles had a hard season that year and would not have come back if the skins didn't bench players. With the first round bye, Gibbs wanted them in for a little bit so not too rusty 2 weeks later. I don't think any would of played if the playoff game was the following week. Team was getting old and he rested them when he could. Been watching so many of these old 80s/early 90s games lately. Thanks for this video. I would of like to see the 90s Cowboys in this era. Image 4 dominate teams going at it say from 85 on when the Giants started to look good. The defenses of all 4 would have been amazing. The Cards would of got the no1 pick every year facing that.
This era (Buddy Ryan era) is the reason I fell for the birds. Great times for NFL. Hogs were tough!
You won't see games like that anymore, not with all these rules in place 😔
What these guys went through back then is why the rules are in place. Players are faster and stronger now that people would probably die if they played like they used to. That and it's investments the owners have in the players.
NFL sucks now
@@therealivydawg People don't get it.
The defensive plays and hits are just great and made this era this era.
You would never see these helmet-to-helmet hits from the patsies and divas in today's NFL!
I’m so glad the eagles got a chip it just validated the nfc east as truly the best.
I’m a TItans fan.
Now it’s the NFC Least
stfu the eagles are the reigning champs and the other divisions in the NFC aren't that good either right now the NFC South is trash with exception of the Saints the NFC North have one team that is elite which is the bears and the Vikings who are good but not great and the NFC West have the Rams and the Seahawks who are a borderline wild card team
@Rowdy Jr. the Seahawks are trash as well we are 5-6 you guys are 6-5 not much of a difference so foh clown you acting like the Seahawks are contenders your not making no noise this season either
Semion Johnson lol salty much
Semion Johnson, Seahawks can actually contend with rams, saints, and bears unlike the shitty eagles who lost to them last year.
NFC L(East)?
Those green and silver eagles jersey are dope!
the NFC East from the early 80s to the mid 90s-- was the best 4 team conference, every year-- Redskins in the Gibbs era, 3 SBowls, Giants/Parcells 2 SBowls, Cowboys 4, and the Eagles,,especially the late 80s Eagles, were the best team(s) to never win a SBowl.. Im a Skins fan, and EVERY division game was a bloody WAR. No quarter, no prisoners. Best football in my lifetime.
HTTR with with love from HAWAII
The week 2 89 game was one of the craziest in NFL history. Who says this is underrated, all NFC East division games are great
now that is how football is played. I miss the old NFL
This is when I wanted an Eagles Super Bowl victory : ( (when football was football)
It’s weird to think that the teams in the NFC East were all at around this time dominant teams.
Buddy Ryan era: the most fun football Philly ever had. Didn't win any Super Bowls, but man, was that era was a blast. Much like the '93 Phillies...
Would it be possible to get more of these division rival videos up. This was great.
I Have The 1989 Eagles Washington Game on DVD Along With The "Body Bag Game" As Well!
A bygone era. Now flags penalties roughing calls etc... Maddens voice was awesome too
Penalty Flags would be everywhere in today's game. Redskins Eagles rivalry. Always top-flight great football.
This era of football was incredible in the NFC East. All the teams were excellent, they all hated at least from the Eagles perspective the Cowboys the Giants the Redskins. The Eagles went every year to the playoffs, but they scored no points under Randall in playoff games. I watched Randall Cunningham, A Football Life and it tells so much why they didnt get that ring in that great era. Plus the NFC East was stacked, and got like 7 of 10 Sbs from 86-95. Then he comes back after retirement and "makes the SB" leading the vikings to 15-1 but Gary Anderson missed his only kick in 2 years and they missed it. With that Randall, maybe the Eagles wouldnt have had to wait until 2017. BUT BOY WAS IT WORTH IT!!
Fly eagles Fly baby! 2019 NFC East champions! It is a great rivalry though. My favorite moment is the Monday night massacre. Michael Vick, maclin, Jackson, McCoy and celeck went wild ! First play on that game was a fifty yarder to djax. And the first time djax showed up as a Redskin , man, he got his revenge! Lol
Yes, children, there was a time when the NFC East was a good division.
I’m from Philadelphia and love all of our teams but from 1986 to 1992 the eagles were like gods . I remember on Sundays as soon as I got up and dressed I got all my homework that I had been putting off for days done , any chore I was asked to do would have to wait , and as soon as CBS sports pregame show came on I just put everyone on the pay no mind list until 10.00pm that evening. I used to watch all the games , I knew the players, and I knew how important a game this was for each and every team that week .... There was no fantasy football or sports betting online it was just fun to watch all those great players who went out and played like their life was on the line ...That was about the time when players started switching teams every 3 or 4 years and that’s why I’m not into watching any of my cities teams because there are new faces every year and it hurts the team. I know free agency has been around since the early 1970’s but all the good players used to play for one team their whole career which was so much better then all these super teams and buying a player for 1/2 of the season :
Nascar, baseball, basketball, there's nothing better than football
I Have The 1989 Eagles Redskins Game on DVD!
2:55 Holy heads up play. Underrated right there. How many placeholders who botch the snap and roll out while being chased have the presence of mind to realize they can throw the ball to be incomplete and stop the clock. That game could've ended then and there from a mental miscue.
23jakesmith23 Yeah exactly, the funny thing is I think the narrator thought the play was intentional by saying Gibbs had another idea. Though as you see nobody went out to receive the pass, great heads up play
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you kick on third down.
Were is art monk dude is a legend
Seriously Elliot, this is a video I would make 😁! Love the content, perspective and seing/hearing snippets of old broadcasts brings it all back. It amazed me, as and young Eagles fan back then, that the Birds never made it to/ won a Super Bowl. Tough division from 80's til late 90's.
Well y’all weren’t gonna get past us in the 90s we were head and shoulders above the rest of the league and yes Philly is the oldest franchise in the division with the least amount of championships
You don't see that in the NFL anymore when two teams hated each other now every one be friends back then they was cool of the field but once they stepped on the field it was business now every one be dancing and playing around especially now you can't play defense when everything is gifted around the offense because times have changed everything is entertainment now and big money so I understand why it's all about offense
Gotta love the CBS intros around 1988.
16:12 I was stationed aboard The Destroyer USS BRISCOE DD977 we were on a 7 Month Deployment in The Mediterranean/Red Sea. I watched this game at The USO in Naples Italy on a 6 hour time difference. My favorite eagle of all time Eric Allen saved the game and we went to the Playoffs and beat New Orleans in the Superdome the next week #FlyEaglesFly
Additionally, washington was really good those seasons but in 1990 and 1992 just couldn't avoid turnovers. The eagles were snake bitten with Randall Cunningham getting hurt. So the giants were the only team to stay healthy and win out. Those games were so brutal that you could argue that they beat each other up so bad that it made hard for any of the teams to dominate until they got old. Which opened the door for the cowboys.
Almost three minutes about the Body Bag Game, a 16-second passing mention that the Redskins beat the shit out of them in the playoffs two months later...the ref-enabled comeback on the GTOAT’s JV squad is a classic moment, the 23-0 MNF slaughter in Week 5 isn’t even hinted at...if their A/V people are half as honest as Merrill Reese, even Eagles team media wouldn’t be this stupidly one-sided
Vintage Chris Carter. Love it!
With coke all in his moustache lol
Happy Birthday art Monk!!
as an eagle fan, I'll never forget that 1989 42-37 game.
I was at my friend's house screaming and yelling when Wes Hopkins returned that lateral back at the game. My friend's dad had given up on the game and ran downstairs demanding to know what the commotion was about.
That Buddy ryan team was mY eagles team, much more than the team that won the super bowl. I'll never get over the fact they never won the super bowl.
What if's - if Chris Carter had been able to keep himself together with the eagles, if Jerome Brwn hadn't died, if they had resigned Keith Jackson...
In the end, the biggest downfall was that the Eagles didn't have a good OL compared to teams like the redskins, giants, bears, niners, even the rams, and then later Dallas.
and they always lost games that they should have won which wound up hurting their playoff position.
For example. 89 lost to an inferior Charger team that allowed the Giants to gain pole position in the division race. Then, still had a chance to win the division but lost a heartbreaker in New orleans late in the season.
Really miss Summerall and Madden when they did these games.. Made it so much better
0:55 that Phoenix bit threw me right the fuck off at first lol
I just wish the NFL would let them hit again and play real football!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved that Eagles defense
0:48 me(Broncos fan): wow thanks elliot. Don't need to bring that up.
Yooooo Jeff Rutledge’s face mask 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️lmaooo
