BGN Memories: 30th anniversary of The Miracle at RFK

We all need to get the taste of Sunday night’s 24-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons out of our mouths. We all need a palate cleanser.

Thankfully, we have one. Thirty years ago today, the Eagles played one of the most memorable regular season games in Eagles history — a wacky, maniacal, insane comeback win against Washington on a sun-splashed day at RFK Stadium that featured more crazy swings of emotion than any Week 2 game has a right to feature.

It also went down as the greatest game Randall Cunningham ever played as an Eagle, bringing his team down from an early 20-0 deficit just hours after signing a contract extension that made him the highest paid player in football.
