Monday night made me think back to the famous "Body Bag Game", which was also versus Philly on a Monday night 20 years ago. The Iggles whipped us physically every way they could that night, knocking out 10+ players, including all of our QBs - B. Mitch had to finish the game at QB! Yet come playoff time, we went to Philly, and got our revenge, beating them by 2 TDs. The best part was that big mouth Buddy Ryan, who gloated so loudly after the Body Bag Game, was fired after that playoff loss. Other than our Super Bowl wins, and two NFC Championship victories over Dallas, this is my favorite Redskins victory (and redemption).
