1985 NFL draftThe 1985 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players. The draft was held April 30 and May 1, 1985, at the Omni Park Central Hotel in New York City, New York. The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season. The first six selections of the draft made at least one Pro Bowl, and three of the first 16 picks — Bruce Smith, Chris Doleman, and Jerry Rice — have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For the second consecutive draft, there were no quarterbacks chosen in the first round (Day One). The Buffalo Bills used the first overall pick of the draft to select defensive end Bruce Smith. Randall Cunningham was the first quarterback selected (second round) by the Philadelphia Eagles. Of note, University of Miami quarterback Bernie Kosar was taken by the Cleveland Browns in the supplemental draft several months later.

Dwayne JilesDwayne Earl Jiles (born November 23, 1961) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants. He was born in Linden, Texas, played college football at Texas Tech and was drafted in the fifth round of the 1985 NFL draft. In his professional career, Jiles played in 61 games and started eight over five seasons.
1989 New York Giants seasonThe New York Giants played their 65th season in the National Football League (NFL) in 1989. After going 10–6 and suffering a heartbreaking final-day elimination from playoff contention in 1988, the team went 12–4 and won the NFC East. This was the team's first postseason berth since winning Super Bowl XXI. The Giants were upset by the Los Angeles Rams 19–13 in the NFC Divisional playoffs. Pro Bowl selections for the team were Dave Meggett and Lawrence Taylor. Ottis Anderson rushed for over 1,000 yards and was winner of the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award.
1985 Philadelphia Eagles seasonThe 1985 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 53rd in the National Football League (NFL). The team improved upon their previous output of 6–9–1, winning seven games. This was the fourth consecutive season in which the team failed to qualify for the playoffs. Philadelphia was in position to earn a wild-card berth with a 6–5 record by late November, but a four-game losing streak, which included a home loss to the Minnesota Vikings in which the Eagles squandered a 23–0 fourth-quarter lead, foiled their playoff hopes. That losing streak also cost head coach Marion Campbell his job before the season finale at Minnesota. Under interim coach Fred Bruney, the Eagles pulled off a 37–35 victory at the Metrodome to finish the season on an up note. Two bright spots emerged at the quarterback position as Ron Jaworski returned from the broken leg suffered at the end of the 1984 season, and performed well enough (3,450 passing yards, 17 touchdowns) to be considered for comeback player of the year, though no award was given out. In addition, second-round draft pick Randall Cunningham earned his first career victory at RFK Stadium on September 22 at Washington. On November 10, at Veterans Stadium, Jaworski combined with wide receiver Mike Quick for a club-record 99-yard touchdown pass in overtime to beat the Atlanta Falcons, 23–17.
