1987 Philadelphia Eagles season

NFL team season December 2013 March 2026 Philadelphia Eagles 1987 7–8 4th NFC East Buddy Ryan Ted Plumb Wade Phillips Norman Braman Veterans Stadium 180px Did not qualify Eagles seasons The 1987 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 55th in the National Football League (NFL). Despite the interruption of the schedule by the second strike in six seasons, the team improved upon its previous output of 5–10–1, going 7–8.1987 Philadelphia Eagles at Pro Football Reference. However, three of those losses came during the three-game stretch during the strike when teams were staffed primarily with replacement players, or "scabs," who crossed the picket lines to suit up. Despite the improvement, the team once again failed to qualify for the playoffs. Defensive lineman Reggie White nonetheless had a breakout season, establishing a new NFL record by exploding for 21 sacks in only 12 games. On October 25 at Veterans Stadium, in the first game back after the strike was settled, Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan called for the infamous "fake kneel" in the final seconds with the hosts leading the Dallas Cowboys by 10 points. The fake eventually led to another late touchdown, payback for Cowboys head coach Tom Landry running up the score with starters who crossed the picket line to play two weeks earlier at Texas Stadium. One week later, Philadelphia won its final road game against the Cardinals at the old Busch Stadium, before the franchise moved to Phoenix for the 1988 season. Offseason NFL draft The 1987 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players. The draft was held April 28–29, 1987, in New York City. This again would be a 12-round draft of 28 teams. The Philadelphia Eagles would get the 9th in the 12 rounds. They would make 10 selections in the draft. The table shows the Eagles selections and what picks they had that were traded away and the team that ended up with that pick. It is possible the Eagles' pick ended up with this team via another team that the Eagles made a trade with. Not shown are acquired picks that the Eagles traded away. = Pro BowlerPlayers are identified as Pro Bowlers if they were selected for the Pro Bowl at any time in their career.= Hall of Famer RoundPick Player Position School 1 9 Jerome Brown Defensive tackle Miami (FLA) 2 39 Traded Pick to San Francisco 49ers 3 65 Ben Tamburello Center Auburn 4 93 Byron Evans Linebacker Arizona 5 121 David Alexander Center Tulsa 6 149 Ron Moten Linebacker Florida 6 158 Chris Pike Defensive Tackle Tulsa 7 177 Brian Williams Tackle Central Michigan 8 204 Traded Pick to San Diego Chargers 9 232 Ken Lambiotte Quarterback William & Mary 10 260 Paul Carberry Defensive Tackle Oregon State 11 288 Traded Pick to Los Angeles Raiders 12 316 Bobby Morse Running Back Michigan State NFL supplemental draft The Eagles would also use a pick in the 1987 NFL supplemental draft to take Cris Carter a wide receiver out of Ohio State. Prior to Carter's senior season in 1987, he secretly signed with notorious sports agent Norby Walters. When the contract was discovered, Carter was ruled ineligible to play for Ohio State.

Replacement players were used when the season resumed the following week. The Eagles would have traveled to Candlestick Park to face the host 49ers in what would have been Buddy Ryan's only trip to the Bay Area as the Eagles' head coach. The Eagles sought their second win in San Francisco since 1983 (and also since the AFL-NFL merger). Ryan's Eagles did meet the 49ers once, losing at Veterans Stadium in 1989. The Eagles did not travel to San Francisco until 1992, nor did they win in San Francisco until the final night of the 1993 season.https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/teamvsteam?opp=27 Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers Results The Football Database Week 3 Sunday, October 4, 1987 Kickoff 1:00 PM Eastern Played at Veterans Stadium on an Astroturf playing surface; 48 degrees with wind at 19 MPH.

This was the first week the Eagles played after the NFLPA strike ended. This was the revenge game for Week 4, where the Cowboys ran up the score against an Eagles replacement squad. Despite the game being effectively over, with the Eagles leading and having possession of the ball, the Eagles performed a fake kneel into a pass. Pass interference was called, and the Eagles successfully scored from the 1-yard line on the next play as time expired.http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/06/28/buddy_ryan_and_the_philadelphia_eagles_ran_up_the_score_on_the_dallas_cowboys.html Why Did Buddy Ryan Run Up the Score On the Cowboys in 1987?
