| Herman Edwards played nine seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, beginning in 1977, at the position of cornerback. His 33 career interceptions is just one short of the franchise record. The highlight of Edwards' playing career occurred on November 19, 1978, in the final seconds of a game against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands. The Giants led 17-12 and the Eagles had no time-outs remaining, but instead of simply taking the snap from center and falling on the ball, Giants quarterback Joe Pisarcik attempted to hand the ball off to running back Larry Csonka. However, the ball came loose, and Edwards picked it up and returned it for a touchdown, enabling the Eagles to win 19-17. This play became known in Philadelphia as "The Miracle of the Meadowlands," and in New York as simply "The Fumble." This framed 16x20 photo of this moment inscribed "11-19-78" by Edwards and "The Fumble" by Pisarcik is autographed by both Herman Edwards and Joe Pisarcik and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. |
