91 days until Eagles football, and it always makes me think of one of my favorite Eagles games ever: The 1991 “House of Pain” game against the Houston Oilers.
The Oilers were nearly unbeatable at home and featured one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses, but the Eagles dominant defense brought the pain. Philadelphia held Houston to just 6 points and walked away with a 13-6 victory, inspiring Jerome Brown’s legendary quote:
“They brought the house, we brought the pain.”
@sethjoyner put together one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen from an Eagles linebacker, finishing with 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries. The defense delivered hit after hit that wouldn’t be allowed in today’s NFL so let’s look at my Top 10 Defensive plays from that game.
91 days to go… 🦅⏳

💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: “I would give anything to be able to say something definitively in Karmelo Anthony’s defense. If there was a shred of innocence to the incident itself, I would say so. I don’t want to see another black young man going to jail.”
“But I don’t give a d*mn about what your race or ethnicity is. Just because you’re white and young doesn’t mean you deserve to be m*rdered. And just because you’re black and young … doesn’t give you a license to m*rder someone.”
“That’s what happened.”
