1984 RetroSkins Highlights: St. Louis Cardinals vs Washington Redskins

- Here's a true gem from yesteryear! It's the 1984 season finale with the Redskins playing for the NFC East title at RFK Stadium -- against the St. Louis Cardinals?!?
The Cardinals of the 80's were memorable for being totally unmemorable. Other than a post-season spot in the generously wide open '82 "Super Bowl Tournament", the Cardinals never got close to the playoffs - except for this season. '84 was a four-team race for the NFC title that went down to the wire. The Redskins and Cowboys were there, of course, along with the up-and-coming Giants and these unexpected Cardinals. Washington disposed of the Cowboys in a thriller the week before, and the Giants had faded to wild card position. That left Washington and St. Louis to battle for the NFC East crown. The 10-5 Redskins had clinched at least a wild card spot, but it was win or go home for the 9-6 Cardinals, who had upset the Redskins once already this season.
The Redskins looked like they had this one in the bag by halftime, but the crafty Cardinals staged quite a comeback in the second half, setting the stage for last unforgettable last-second drama. Art Monk set the single season record for receptions in this one, to add to the magic.
To make the moment perfect, we have Pat Summerall and John Madden on the call from roaring RFK (the only Redskins-Cardinals match-up they called in their historic 20-year run). This one's a bit longer than usual, but so much happened in this unforgettable game, hd to try and include it all.

My dad and I were at this game and it was a roller coaster of a game.
I don’t know how you and dad survived after this thriller. I would’ve had several heart attacks watching this game
I remember running out of my house screaming with joy when the Cardinals missed that last second field goal, Several of my neighbors joined me and we danced in the street.
Game aged me 10 years!! HAIL!!!
A redesigned Redskins logo introduced in 1972 was proposed by Walter Wetzel, a former Blackfoot tribal chairman and past president of the National Congress of American Indians, and was modeled after the likeness on the Buffalo nickel.
The "woke" morons don't care about facts.
They made the super bowl that year, so clearly it did something
Darrell GREEN was covering Roy GREEN! That is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
Oh yeah had me rolling!! OMG
I was only 4 years of age and I just know the city was buzzing after this thriller. Some quick takeaways are… Art Monk was a huge WR and a filthy route runner, Joe Gibbs had nerves of steel, Neil Lomax had no conscious throwing the ball (gun slinga) and Roy Green was a nightmare
I remember this game, my late uncle was here from Washington St. I was yelling all through the game jumping up and down.
Theismann's pass to Didier at 1:50 was incredible. He never really got the credit he deserved. The pass to Wayne Smith at 10:40 wasn't as good. Looked like Muhammed slowed up. Art Monk was clutch here, too! The team had so many great players throughout the 80s. Thanks for sharing this.
He got the MVP award in 83. What sort of credit do you think he deserved above that? In any case, the fact that he sold out and started shilling for Dan Snyder and the new look, new name charade (“commanders”) means he gets no respect from me. Theisman is a quisling, pure and simple.
That 3rd and 18 conversion with over 2 mins left saved them in this game. Incredible!
I love the airhorns fans used to bring to the games its a shame your not allowed to bring them anymore
Hanifan's last game as Cardinals coach
Nope. Oddly enough, the Redskins and Cardinals hooked up again for the ‘85 finale, also won by Washington. THAT was Hanifan’s last game as Cards head coach.
Nice!
FIGHT FOR OLD DC!!!!!!
One of only game where the giants actually wanted the redskins to win
1:53. RFK was so damn loud!!
It made fed ex field seem like a punchline.
Redskin fans at rfk were the best fans in football. The only other contender would be colts fans at memorial stadium in Baltimore
Hail, to the Redskins!
Hail, Victory!
Braves, on the Warpath!
Fight! For old D.C!
Run or pass and score we want a lot more!
Beat ’em swamp ’em touchdown let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on, till you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton, RAH! RAH! RAH!
Hail, to the Redskins!
Hail, Victory!
Braves, on the Warpath!
Fight! For old D.C!

With all the talent the Cards had.... They didn't have a great coach....
When Theismann was on honestly, my opinion, there was nobody better and yes, I am a Redskin fan, but I’m not throwing shade our way. I’m old enough to appreciate the glory days. I’ve been a fan from birth. Tell death yes for the last 20 to 23 years they’ve been horrible, but if anybody knows anything you can thank Mr. Snyder for that, he knows he did wrong. Why do you think he lives in London now because every Redskin fan wants his nuts on the shelf he destroyed one the most colorful franchises in NFL history not only was he a horrible owner. He is just a very bad person. He does bad things and he thinks that he is above everybody even feeling entitled I’m guessing. At first when he bought the team and then we got the stadium. It seemed everything was in place to keep on going after old man passed away, but I can say for the first time since Mr. Cook left us. I feel that we have the right people where they should be we have football people where football people should be, not a bunch of men anyway Theismann in his prime was a fucking awesome quarterback and just take a look at RFK not a better place in the league to play a game
Cardinals always play hard and washington was lucky but the Cardinals know how to beat Dallas.
Washington beat Dallas twice in this season. An all too rare accomplishment. We’ll get around to those gems someday.
It's a shame the woke brigade has ruined this team and atmosphere for good.
Say what? Snyder ruined the team.

You were never a fan in the first place so why would we care what you think?
