Full Summary

This product includes all game parts.

Dan Marino, Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, Eric Dickerson and more will soon be available with the full-season 1986 NFL card set.

This was the year the New York Giants conquered the football world. Led by Bill Parcells, the Giants stormed to a 14–2 regular season before tearing through the playoffs and demolishing Denver 39– 20 in Super Bowl XXI. The defense was legendary, anchored by Lawrence Taylor, who became just the second defensive player ever to win NFL MVP honors after a 20.5 sack season. Meanwhile, Phil Simms threw for 3,487 yards and a near-perfect Super Bowl performance, and Joe Morris rushed for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns.

The Chicago Bears, coming off their dominant ’85 title, still boasted the league’s best defense and a 14–2 record of their own. The Washington Redskins, with Jay Schroeder slinging deep balls to Art Monk and Gary Clark, and the Denver Broncos, led by John Elway’s late-game heroics, both made deep playoff runs. “The Drive,” Elway and the Broncos’ legendary 98 yards in the final minutes of the AFC Championship Game, stunned the Browns and cemented its place as one of the greatest moments in NFL history.

Other standouts include:

  • Offensive Player of the Year Eric Dickerson leading the league in rushing (1,821 yards)
  • Dan Marino tossing 44 TD passes and 4,746 yards for Miami
  • Jerry Rice scoring 16 touchdowns along with 1,570 receiving yards in his second season
  • The Jets’ explosive start (10–1), led by Ken O’Brien and Al Toon
  • AFC top seed Cleveland Browns, paced by Bernie Kosar, winning 12 games and nearly earning their first Super Bowl trip

This 1986 Strat-O-Matic NFL set includes all 28 teams, bringing you the full scope of a season defined by elite defense, explosive offense, and some of the most iconic moments of the 1980s. Whether you want to coach LT’s Giants to another title, rewrite history with Elway or Marino, or try to go back-to-back with Chicago, 1986 is ready for kickoff.
