- Green takes it to the house for a touchdown to help the WAshington Redkins beat the Chicago Bears. Pulls something in his stomach in the process. Madden and Summerall on the call.

Sorry for the bad quality of the video.
I can't think of more important punt return in Redskins History. Without this return we may have never have had "The Quarter" .
"This could be all over...it is all over..." Probably one of my favorite announcer quotes.
Madden, Summerall, Darrell Green, astroturf, the old soldier field that Jack Dempsey fought in, classic.
Wow… You’re right. The house Dempsey fought in. That’s wild.
Darrell Green was such a return weapon. Gibbs was very conservative about utilizing him on punt returns for fear of injury, but every time he REALLY needed a big play, he'd tap Darrell to go make it happen. In case of emergency, break glass and bring out the great DG!!!
Green hurt himself on that jump. Did he play the rest of the game or playoffs?
@@bnegs521 he had torn cartilage in his ribs and had to get a shot before the start of the nfc championship game to play the following week. Jeff Bostic tells that story really well on the NFL Network episode about the 87 Redskins. And he made the game winning stop at the goal line that following week on a 4th and goal at the end of the game breaking up a potential TD pass.
@@andreromanfitness1092 Thank you. What a great player.
@@bnegs521 absolutely! One of my all time favorites.
I broke my ribs, earlier this year! I couldn't do jack for the next 3-4 weeks, let alone return an NFL playoff punt for a touchdown!
Today is the 30th anniversary of this play. What a great moment this was! HTTR.
This was also Walter Payton's final game as a Chicago Bear.
best call of the play by Pat summerall. "it could be over, it is all over now!" way to summarize the moment.
Yes...Darrell Green gave me a like on Twitter for this
Heartbreaking. I watched this as a 14 year old. The Bears had a 14-0 lead in this game. To get beat by the Redskins at home in the division for the 2nd year in a row.
Payback for the home loss at RFK in '84. And the Theismann one-yard punt game in Chicago in '85.
@@gregbutler2985 The Bears I felt never had enough offense to get more than on SB when they have a dominant defense.
Pat Summerall and John Madden, 2 of the best to ever do it. #80's
Tore rib cartilage and still outran everyone
Did you see where he jumped over Cap Bozo the clown? 😅😅😅
It wasn’t even the vault that tore the cartilage, but the sudden cut to his left. He said so in an interview, but announcer still always say it was the vault.
You can see that Green running at half speed is still pulling away from everyone, so a half superpowered Darrell Green is still faster than 50% of the other players in the league at that time.
Darrell Green holding his rib cage returning that punt for a TD, Pure Heart!👍Players today would sit out with a tummy ache.
Yes buy he really didn't want to take the novacane shot the next week against the vikings. He had to be 'convinced' to take it.
Washington Redskins were a true team everyone was a roll player and egos never were placed ahead of team (not if you wanted to stay in town) this team was the weakest of the championship teams, injuries slowed the running game, quarterback controversy, but the lines and the defense carried them. Skins fans remember Darryl Greene in the playoffs and the replacement team on Monday night football as much as Doug Williams and the super bowl
What made the loss hurt even more were the frigid temps. It was cold!!!! I was there. Haven’t been to a bears game since. Just something about a couch and widescreen TV.
He jumped over that man like a gazelle.
That was the very moment I became a Redskins fan I was 10.
I remember it well!
Been a skins fan since 68’ 👍🏽
Here's the amazing part that Green was injured and out for the game and the defense only gave up 3 more points. It showed how good the defense was even when they lost their best corner, the defense clamped down when they needed to.
Dexter Manley was a beast
@@retiredstalker he should be a hall of famer since he was one of the most feared past rushers of the 1980's.
The HTTR memories will last forever #ripwashingtonredskins
Darrell Green greatest corner ever!!HTTR.
Absolutely the best. Man do I miss that era of the NFL.
The Redskins are sorely missed
Darrell Green is the forgotten player of the infamous QB draft class of 1983. Everybody talks about the 6 QB's taken in the first round, but don't forget that Darrell Green was also drafted in the first round right after Dan Marino. He outlasted everyone else in that draft at 20 seasons, and got 2 rings
I'll never forget this play.. when all else fails but Darrell green back on punts
That play was unbelievable in real time and stunned the Redskin and Bear fans in the process!
😎
DG gets better with age, just like a fine wine. Good to hear those familiar voices of Summerall and Madden announcing the NFL glory days.
if this occurred at RFK...
Winning TD as I recall. The following week in the NFC Championship Game he knocked the ball away from Darrin Nelson to preserve a 17 to 10 Washington win
One of the greatest CB's ever
One of the best plays in NFL history!. Green was not a punt returner, but a fast cornerback and the coach asked him to go out there and wow, did he!. Also another great play in NFL history, Green came out of nowhere and tackled the superfast Eric Dickerson, ike a cheetah tackling a gazelle. czcams.com/video/3Eg3RHKKbQU/video.html
Was so cold that day. HTTR
1986 ,1987 Redskins ended the 85 Bears forever!!!!! Go Skins.
@jack brandt 49ers spanked the Bears then it's was over ...over !!!!
They hosted the NFC Championship game in 1988, but lost. My was that stadium quite in the 4th quarter!
80s-90s NFC football was awesome! Niners, Redskins, Cowboys, Giants, Bears took turns killing entire league
Someone show this to Asante Samuel!
Dude, do you have this whole game?? Please post it!!
Goodbye Walter.
If there's full game footage of this matchup out there, check it out because it was by far the HARDEST HITTING playoff game in NFL history. #RunTheTape #SlobberKnockEm
For me, no Chicago sports moment, including '03 Cubs loss to Marlins HALF as painful as 21-17 loss to 'Skins in '87 Playoffs, ending Walter Payton's career three Sundays too soon. The yards Payton coulda gained against Denver's putrid defense
The Bears didn't have Washington o-line
HTTR FOREVER!!! SCREW THE COMMANDERS!
Ran so fast he hurt himself
Even as a Cowboys fan, I hated how arrogant the Bears had become enough to cheer for the Skins here. The next year it was even more decisive, 27-13.
darrell green the fastest man in the nfl
Good ole days wow.. Go Skins
Did you see Darrell Green hurdle over that guy 😂😂 Darrell Green a Goat at Cornerback
That man hurdled a dude and returned a punt for a TD WITH broken ribs in a road divisional playoff game against a perennial NFC North 1980s power. Kids these days wear sports bras, wear flashy shoes, and LeBron-like flop the instant they get a boo-boo. I remember this was also Walter Payton’s last game.
I don't think the rib actually broke, I think it was the cartilage that got sprained. Either way, just watching him looked painful enough. It's amazing that the following week, he took a novacaine shot and played. Today we have prayer vigils for players sitting out with a hang nail
Could be all over it is all over 😂😂😂
Did anyone see when Darryl Green was running to score a touchdown and leaped over Chicago bears player "Cap Bozo" the clown 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Best corner All Time #28 👈💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Could be all over……it is all over…… lol. Summerall💪🏿
I had my bestfriend from high school over he was in 12th i was in 11th and my little brother was in 9th when it was 14to 0 he was talking trash to me and my bro when we tied the score 14all he was a little quite then he said when d green caught the punt he is going nowhere when he scored you coulnt hear a pin drop my brother was a quite person he wasnt talking trash anymore i said dude whats wrong i thought you said the game was over he said respect bro to your skins when we played the Minnesota inthe championship game he said we are going to loose at the end of the game i said bro your 0-2 in picking games when we went to the super bowl he said i had no predictions for the game we know the quarter 35 points in a quarter a monster quarter for washington then timmy smith with the icing on the cake 42-10 skins my friend said im glad i dint do a prediction for that game and we are still friends me and my little brother and our best friend jerry
Stupid story, no one cares about you and your friend..
which pixel is Darryl Green?
You misspelled the man's name even though it's literally in the title. #fail
@@akilmer who says I misspelled it? I could be referring to another Darryl. Or that could be the ebonic spelling.
@@PlateletRichGel Did you just make an "ebonic" joke on a video about a black man? #doublefail
listen to what the guy yells at 1:30 hahahaha that's messed up
What's he saying?
12hardye
What the fuck are they yelling?
That's Darrell saying get off me because he was in pain
