@NYGForever lions abused that man he was the Detroit lions. Rushed for over 1000 yrds 10 consecutive seasons and for over 2000 yrds in 1 season. Shame he played for lions and couldn't have been on better team. Him and Marino 2 of greatest players never to win s.b.
@NYGForever that was smash mouth football! Players back then were hard and had fight in them not like my cowboys this year. Truly a different breed and different game back then. I love watching games from 80s and 90s it was great as a kid learning and watching the game played back then.
Offensively speaking they had the talent! Not so much at QB.. but Oline?! They had Hartings Brown Glover Moore Perriman Morton at WR Sloan was solid at TE
This was during the 1994 season where every team wore their throwback uniforms all season long for the NFL’s 75 anniversary. Sadly they didn’t use this idea for 100th
@@packersauburneric3625I wonder if they’re taking any applicants. Seeing as the season is underway and that they’re posting pretty much every day, I think they might be looking for help. If not, insane how they’re able to pile up quality upload after upload.
Two of the top 5 RB's of all-time playing simultaneously. Different running styles, but both with the same talent and determination. I feel blessed to have grown up watching the career of these two. These were two great offensive teams at this time.
This is definitely a deserving throwback game. Last time Barry and Emmett played each other. And I like seeing the score flash at the end of the quarter/half. I would keep that up even for newer games with the score box.
The real MNF of the 90s. There were some classics and this was one of them. I was 10 and best believe I watched this one. A rare moment of Emmitt vs Barry and they both showed up.
@@sludge8506 back then, for those Monday night games, that was probably the latest I stayed up during the school week. Man, didn’t it seem like, in that MNF era, there were so many more great classic games? Maybe I’m just having a bit of nostalgia, but, yea, sure seems that way.
NFL 75th Anniversary Season. A nice, uncluttered screen with no stats crawl and no yellow line for a first down. And 9pm Kickoff when MNF was a real event. And they could actually play defense. Those days are long gone sadly.
I like the Throwback uniforms/helmets event among many teams in '94. In '15 we had the Color Rush event among most of all teams. Now under multiple helmets rules, we are seeing the revival Throwback events and all-white/black trends. I'm looking forward what event we'll see in the future...
I think Barry sanders is the only rb I have watch on highlights cause he retired before I was born but that if you have it to on a draw with 3rd down & 10+ I would expect him to get nearly every time
Barry and Emmett were by far and away the 2 greatest running backs of this decade. Also, I think one of the biggest myths about Barry Sanders career in Detroit, is that he was basically a one-man show and was on a bunch of bad teams. Just not true. He was clearly the best player and the face of that franchise, but he was able to play with one of the most underrated receivers of that decade in Herman Moore, and another really good receiver in Bret Perriman He was also able to play a majority of that time with one of the better defenses in the league led by Chris Spielman. Those lions teams were never Super Bowl contenders, but they were solid to good in the years they made the playoffs. In Barry’s 9 year career, he actually made the playoffs more years than he didn’t.
People always talk about Dallas O-line being the reason why Emmitt was so good. Think about this Emmitt wasn't the focal point of the Dallas offense. Barry was the focal point of Detroit offense. Imagine if Emmitt was the focal point! He would had ran for a million yards!
This was the first game that I got to see in person. It was for and on my now, wife's birthday that year, now 30 years ago!! It was a great game that went into overtime and it was also the last time Emmitt and Barry would face each other. Fortunate to say that I got to see this live!!
This was the game, where Tim Allen and Tom Landry was the intro. The are you ready for some football intro. I think this was the last time Emmett and Barry played each other.
This was back when the running game really mattered, when it was an essential part of helping any team with gaining extra yards and scoring. Emmitt and Barry were the two best RBs of the 90s and whenever their respective teams clashed it was always a classic, exciting must see TV football game.
Yeah dude Dallas is still in the NFC East to this day; I don't know why you posted saying they were in the division from 1970-1993. You need to do your research better next time
THe best years of the NFL for me was 91 to 95! That MNF booth of Dierdorph, Michaels and Gifford was the greatest ever. I remember this intro like it was yesterday
For those who credit all of Emmitt's success to the OLine(and Moose), please tell me why only one of them are in the Hall Of Fame. And Larry Allen(RIP) wasn't even there for the first 2 super bowls, although was the GOAT.
Thank you! By the time Larry Allen arrived, Emmitt had already won ROY, Super Bowl MVP, NFL MVP, and led the league in rushing for three straight seasons.
Im going to die saying the same an waiting In ANY ORDER!!! Mark Tuinei (R.I.P) Nate Newton Mark Stepnoski Kevin Gogan Erik Williams Shout out Jon Gesek too!! So yeah if it WAS the OL why cant most folks even name those 5?!? Most can name starting 5s for nba&nhl haha
I love Emmitt Smith, but Barry Sanders was just better, he did more with less help.. And if he would've played longer.. He would've been the all time leading rusher 💯
Barry Sanders was not a threat in close yardage situations. If I remember right he did not play goal line snaps at all. He was amazing in the open field though.
Yea, nothing against Smith, but Barry had to work way more to get those yards. Gaping holes to run through created by the Cowboys monstrous offense line. Meanwhile, Sanders is running backwards four to eight yards to net positive yardage.
Let me tell you why Barry was better..... Emmit Smith had the best offensive line leading his charge. Barry never had the O Line he deserved.....if you watch highlights of Barry......he could make a 5 yard gain look like a miracle just from him evading tacklers in the backfield.
I wonder what happens if Barry Sanders didn't retire early. Does Detroit finally build a team around him, or does he gets traded away? Could be a good what if video.
if Barry played 3 more years (which is the same amount of years that Smith did) he would have 3 more years to get 3086 yards which is an average of 1028.67 yards per season he probably does it
Used to watch Emmitt in high school at Pensacola's Escambia High school. I was in middle school then and lived about a mile from the school, so just a short walk. He was amazing then and one of many pro athletes from this medium size city which includes Roy Jones Jr, Derrick Brooks, Roman Reigns and a few MlB players
Finally an accurate comment. I absolutely HATE when people say Emmitt is not even in the top 10. Even with that line you cant magically have 18k rushing yards. Barry Sanders is no doubt more talented but chose to retire... thats on him and isnt Emmitt's fault. @LembeckIsStaying
@@eric3298 Emmitt's 140 was pretty smashmouth. Barry's 190 was classic Sanders finesse and quickness. I was bummed at the time that we lost. But now I feel fortunate to have seen this game live.
Luckily, I was at this game! It was awesome to watch 2 of the best rb's of all time on display. It's one of my most fond football memories even though my Cowboys lost that night
I believe the following week the Lions were favored to beat the Bucs (the bad pre dungy Bucs) by less than a touchdown so I took the Lions as the 3rd team of my 3 team parlay. Usually stuck to college FB but it just seemed like taking the Lions (-6.5) was too good to pass up. Prior to this week, I had hit the 3 team parlay 3 weekends in a row. On Saturday my 2 college teams won and it all came down the the Lions. Of course they got their a*" whipped and killed my win streak. After that, my dad wouldn't let me bet every Friday anymore. Maybe only a few more times that season. Probably not wanting me to get "addicted " to gambling. Especially considering I was only 9 or 10 years old lol. Learned that season that NFL games rarely go as expected especially compared to college football. If it wasn't the week after this game , it wouldve been the following year I'm almost certain.
Looks like it was this year but the Bucs game was 2 weeks after this one. But considering this one was on MNF and also that I went to pops house every other weekend, my last memory would've been of them beating the Cowboys and not losing to the Patriots. Guess I was the sucker that weekend lol
Cowboys fan and Barry was better, Dallas o line was best in League at that time. That's the team Herschel walker trade built. Lots of talent on that team
Barry was more unique, talented, and game breaking. Emmitt was the guy you wanted to wear down the D in the 4th quarter and a better receiver. Both all time greats.
Barry was a great runner but better than Emmitt ? No way. Emmitt put it up in big games in a big way. He moved the chains. Dallas O Line was great or was # 22 making him look that way ? It’s the chicken before the egg thing. It is a common myth that Sanders played on a bad team when in fact they made the playoffs over half the time during his career and even once knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs on their way to the NFCCG.
@stevemoore3951 lions not bad team but we'll known fact dallas o line was phenomenal and not cause Emmitt made em look that way the protection they proved Troy was awesome pro bowlers. Barry didn't run behind the moose either. But he definitely ran behind the best o line at that time
The MNF was unmatchable showdown between Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith. Barry Sanders was known for his elusive running style, making defenders miss with his quick cuts and agility. Emmitt Smith, on the other hand, was a powerful runner who excelled at finding gaps and using his offensive line to his advantage. My favorite moment was Emmitt Smith had the strong performance, contributing to the Cowboys offense. This was a back-and-forth battle, so the Lions won 20-17 in overtime with a game-winning field goal. Do you have a favorite moment from that game or a preference between the two players?🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
After the blocked kick.... "Don't touch it Leon!" Classic line!!
Cold line 😂😂😂

@stevemoore3951 lions not bad team but we'll known fact dallas o line was phenomenal and not cause Emmitt made em look that way the protection they proved Troy was awesome pro bowlers. Barry didn't run behind the moose either. But he definitely ran behind the best o line at that time

A Monday night classic. I forgot about this game.
# 20 never ran outta bounds after contact💪💪
I miss that opening to MNF
The MNF was unmatchable showdown between Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith. Barry Sanders was known for his elusive running style, making defenders miss with his quick cuts and agility. Emmitt Smith, on the other hand, was a powerful runner who excelled at finding gaps and using his offensive line to his advantage. My favorite moment was Emmitt Smith had the strong performance, contributing to the Cowboys offense. This was a back-and-forth battle, so the Lions won 20-17 in overtime with a game-winning field goal. Do you have a favorite moment from that game or a preference between the two players?🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
The Cowboys LOST this game. WTH are you talking about?
