Thank you for adding this video! I'm a Giants fan, and remember feeling down after this game, knowing that the 1987 season was a disaster compared to the championship season the year before. Only the 1999 Denver Broncos have ever had a worse title defense, I think. I actually like the Saints, and was pulling for them to do something special that season. Nine straight wins was not bad, although unfortunately, they got hammered in the Wildcard by a suddenly red hot Vikings team that would take out the 49ers in San Francisco the next weekend. Can't believe the Giants had this many turnovers in this game!
The Rams this past year won five games in a title defense which is worse. and the real Giants were 6 6 in 87 season they were 0 3 with replacement players. Still not a good year but there’s been worse title defenses.
Morten Andersen is the Saints kicker. At this point in his career he was in his 6th season, a 2 time pro bowler, and an all pro. He would go on to kick for 19 more seasons. He played through 3 presidents all 3 of whom would serve 2 terms and he nearly played in every year of those terms. When he entered the NFL I was 17 years old and a senior in high school. When he retired I was 42 and on my 2nd marriage.
I'm not sure, but it's possible the birth of "The Benson Boogie" started in this game with owner Tom Benson dancing when each game winded down towards a NO Saints victory. Fun times back in the day especially when NO Saints fans first, and NFL fans never experienced any Saints teams with a winning record prior to the 1987 season.
I was 8 watching this with my maw-maw. She was the biggest Saints fan. This has to be the best collection of linebackers to ever be in a game. Rickey- HOF, LT- HOF, Harry= HOF, Pat and Sam should be in the HOF. Pepper was pretty damn good too. Thanks for the upload. I still hate that we went 12-3 and had to play a Wild card game because of the damn 13-2 49ers
Carl Banks was pretty damn good, as well! You're right, this game truly did feature some of the best linebackers in NFL history! I am a Giants fan, and was a kid when this game happened. It was very sobering, and there was no denying after this that something was wrong with those Giants, that they had lost intensity, even if the injuries and strike that season did not help. That Saints team was exciting, and I wanted to see them go far in the postseason. But the Vikings took both the Saints and the 49ers out that season.
Don’t forget about the other Johnson as well. Vaughan Johnson. He was the only player on that Saints team who played and looked the most like a Linebacker.
Rob Franzen, the CBS station where I live (WKBN-TV 27, Youngstown, Ohio) carried Giants vs. Saints on November 22, 1987 at 4pm over the 1pm games carried by CBS that day (Falcons-Vikings; Lions-Bears; Packers-Chiefs; Cardinals-Eagles; 49ers-Buccaneers). The reason, NBC had an NFL Doubleheader that day.
That was his first season. He would prove instrumental in helping the Giants to that second Super Bowl win three seasons later, especially in the playoffs. I met him, and he seems like a really decent and down to earth guy.
Falcons owner Arthur Blank was dancing quite a bit in the 2016 season. He was even dancing once his team took a commanding 28-3 lead, although he calmed down and looked grimmer and grimmer as that game wore on. Textbook example of why so many people try to be careful before celebrating extravagantly. He received quite a bit of criticism after that. But your point is well taken. I was a Giants fan, admittedly. Yet it was fun to see Benson dancing on the sidelines, and added to the charm of the Saints. Still, I remember this game feeling like a nightmare, and this was the game where I had to concede that the G-Men were not going to be getting back to the playoffs that season.
