# National Football League 1980s All-Decade Team

Das National Football League 1980s All-Decade Team beinhaltet die Liste der besten NFL-Spieler und -Trainer der 1980er Jahre. Die Spieler werden durch Wahl aufgenommen. Gewählt werden die American-Football-Spieler und -Trainer von den Verantwortlichen der Pro Football Hall of Fame. Sie werden damit für ihre Leistungen als Spieler ausgezeichnet. Eine automatische Aufnahme in die Ruhmeshalle des amerikanischen Footballsports ist damit jedoch nicht verbunden. Die Mitglieder werden lediglich in den Rekordbüchern der NFL geehrt. Zum ersten Mal wurden auch Coaches in die Ehrenliste aufgenommen.
