The Body Bag Game was a MNF game that was played on November 12, 1990
Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan promised a beating so severe,
that the Redskins would have to be "hauled off in body bags."
During this game, eight Redskins were injured, including starting quarterback Jeff Rutledge and backup Stan Humphries.
The Redskins had to end the game with rookie running back/kick returner Brian Mitchell at quarterback.
One of the most fondly remembered Redskins-Eagles games ever,
at least by Eagles fans,was avenged by Washington in the playoffs.
Following the Body Bag Game game the Eagles would go on to win five of their last seven under Randall Cunningham,
finish the season 10-6 and earn a wild card playoff berth, the fourth seed in the tough NFC.
The Redskins meanwhile also would win five of their last seven to finish the season 10-6,
losing the number four seed spot to the Eagles.
