GREAT video, Mighty!  I was at that game, sitting in the upper deck of the east end zone.  So, Burt was heading right towards me.  As I remember, it was the opening game on Monday night and the 'Skins were favored, coming off their SB win and the dreadful season the Jints had with their "substitute team" in '87.

I'm new here, coming off the Tailgate.  I think I'm going to enjoy this History thread.

 You remember correctly. It was an opening MNF game in 1988, and was Burts one and only TD.

Here's my detailed analysis of the game:

This was an amazing win because the Giants did it without LT, an injured Leonard Marshall and Sean Landeta, Carl Banks and Mark Bavaro not in football shape after holding out most of the pre-season and the fact the Giants were playing the reigning NFL champions.

Peace!
