One of the biggest games of my life as a Lion fan ( 56 yrs old ) I remember Wayne Fontes saying the Lions were going to Dallas and show them what the Honolulu Blue and Silver is all about , this game was personal for Barry and the Lions , the media criticized Barry saying he doesn't follow his blockers and makes his first cut five yards behind the line of scrimmage whereas Emmit made his first cut five yards down field because of the great blocking, Lomas Brown said before the game in the locker room that Barry had a look in his eye he'd never seen before , I celebrated , I cried , I drank beer as that was a win for their character and toughness at the time , the Lions of the 90's were good enough to compete for a Superbowl but Washington, Dallas and San Francisco were to powerful in the NFC back then , I still have my Lions Starter jacket I bought in 1990
So if Barry didn’t follow his blockers, why do fans always harp on how much better smith’s line was?
@@thomaswatkins3686 teams stacked the line for Barry and dared the lions to throw the ball whereas teams had to play an honest defense against Dallas because of the weapons on offense , Aikman , Irvin , Emmit , Jay Novacek , Alvin Harper , Moose Johnston , the Cowboys were a dynasty back then
Ending that with still having your Starter jacket is pure gold! Love that!
@@TheCollectorCave appreciate it , we've suffered for so long as Lions fans
I had the same Lions pullover Starter jacket when I was a kid too & I got the same one (only with the new logo on it) for Christmas this year. It was the best gift ever!
Man, watching this brings a tear to my eye. The 90s lions were so good and talented. It's a shame they only won 1 playoff game.
for sure, I remember watching that game. I thought it was a higher scoring game. Boy, Lions really had a talented team, so sad they let it fall apart. You want to give Barry the ball every play to see if he can break out, but then you had great talented receivers.
Would have been nice to get a couple Cowboy players to talk about the game in this video.
Always loved those throwback jerseys the Lions wore then. Seemed like it made Barry faster for some reason, more sleek.
bye bye berry explains what happen
94monday night game is the best Lions game I ever saw..
watch the 92 wild card game in detroit then
Naw, the playoff win vs Troy Aikman 38-7 was so much sweeter.
Thank you Sheila!
Sky is the limit for our lions
I remember watching this with my old man. After the Cowboys went up 7 zip in no time, he turned to me and said the Lions will shut them down the rest of the way and win this on a field goal. I've been looking for highlights of this game for years!
Looking forward to tomorrow night ! GO LIONS.
I watched this game in our barracks at Ft. Mcoy Wisconsin attending Advanced NCO school. We had to get up early the next day but l didn't care because the Lions were playing the Cowboys on MNF. Most of the guys started watching the game, but by the time it went into overtime there was just a couple of us left. After Hanson kicked that field goal to win it l hurried over to shut the tv off and hit the sack. I was so happy the next day l wasn't even tired.
This game will forever be etched in my mind. Watched at my buddies house which was full of Dallas fans. As soon as I saw them come out in those sweet ole uni’s I was like it’s gonna be a good night. I wanted this win sooooo bad 😅
Brings back awesome memories. It was a team effort and can't wait for the game tomorrow night. Go Lions!!!
I loved growing up watching this era of the Detroit Lions with Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Lomas Brown, Jason Hanson, Chris Spielman, and then some. Let’s get the win at Dallas this Saturday night. Let’s go!
Scott Mitchell had a strong arm I will give him credit for that. He wasn't very accurate with it a lot of the time, but he did good in this game. GO LIONS!!!
Hard to bring Scott down too😊
I see shades of Barry in Gibbs, we are gonna be in for a treat for a long time
Watched this my junior year at Michigan State. My roomates and I, some cold beer, and Lions/Cowboys MNF. Good times.
Watching Emmitt and Barry its blatantly obvious who the better back was, and which back had the better team around him. It's not even debatable how much better, in terms of pure skill and ability, Barry was compared to Emmitt. Emmitt was a good back. But if you put Barry on that Cowboys team, he would've had video game like stats & set records that no one would ever come close to touching.
💯 Best PLAYER in NFL History. We will never see a professional athlete as electrifying as him again. I feel lucky to have been a fan & witness his entire career.
Fact
Even if they had the same numbers and equal talent, Barry was more fun to watch
*Every record would have been shattered if Barry played behind that offensive line.*
No moron.
Barry had Brown and Glover whom he frequently mentioned as the best of their era. I trust the guy who ran behind them. Not a fan who probably only watched UA-cam highlights of the guy.
A very well done short doc, our social media team is by far best in the league
Herman Moore and Barry Sanders were great for the Lions. Fantastic to see the Lions beat the Cowboys on the road. What a game!!!
One of the best games i have ever seen as a Lions fan !!
Barry is the GOAT!!!
If by Barry you mean Jim Brown, you are correct.
@@thomaswatkins3686🤡
what a fine video! it's really special seeing the former players that were actually present talk about the game. It's a shame Scott Mitchell isn't there, i feel like he's a guy that deserves more recognition that he gets. regardless , I'm hoping for a Lions victory against Dallas this Saturday
Our Lions smell the blood all the way from Detroit. Lions will do it again today. 💯
i think Dallas and Detroit are a big rivalry. There games are always Huge!
This just pumped me up so damn good for the game tonight. Let’s go Lions ! FTC
Let's go LIONS!!!!! 🦁🦁🦁🦁 I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW
BRING THOSE THROWBACK JERSEY'S BACK, PLEASE!!!
I absolutely love Dan Miller as the lions PBP, but nobody called Barry runs better than Mark Champion
We were really spoiled with Mark Champion. I think this Everytime I hear I listen to Dan Miller
Dan Miller is pathetic compared to Mark Champion
"Holl--ly Mackerel!!! Barry Sanders with a move that Mikhail Baryshnikov couldn't make"
But I tell you who who I always loved watching calling Barry Sanders Mike Patrick ESPN Sunday night football...... I love how they will always do the close up of Barry's feet and then joe thiesman would go bonkers trying to describe Barry's feet😂
@@REXX399 I agree
Excellent Production 👍👍
Barry 🐐
Detroit Vs Everybody
Love This… We Will Beat, The Dallas Cowboys, Tonight….💯
#OnePride✊🏾🦁💙
Wow, What history!!!!Love those guys!! Let’s go LIONS
We love you lions
First time we saw the throwbacks. Awesome to see and hear from Mark Champion in this video ❤
I was living in Detroit until that year and remember watching that game on TV. It was amazing. Hoping for some of that this year and tomorrow night especially #onepride 🦁
😱 dredging up the old rivalry, DET has to win this one in front of the whole country in honor of what the whole country knows to be true. Barry would’ve smoked Emmits records EASILY if he kept playing.
I wish we'd have NFL Sunday Tickets back then, I would watch every Lions game.
I was a junior in high school at my buddies house watching this game! The throwback uniforms in all!
Im a die hard Dallas Cowboys Fan... But I'm be honest I'll always say & will continue say Barry Sanders was & will always be the best running back there was & hands down greatest back
Excellent production. Keep it up!
🎶 in the jungle the mighty jungle the Lions play tonight 🎵
I still have that game on VHS!
I remember watching this game it was so awesome. You saw emmitt running through gapping holes and barry, making things magically happen.
I definitely remember that Monday night game!!!
Who else misses Jason Hanson?
Jason was the best, Think he put in over 20 years.
If only they played with this motivation every week. This team should have won a Super Bowl.
the lions had a lot of talent that year, get ready for another win tonight boys
Hanson needs his own Ep.
I miss Bennie Blades in the safety, no one has played safety like that for the Lions since! 🦁
Awesome! Thanks for posting. My favorite Lion game of all time. Always wanted to rewatch. Loved this!
Greatest Old School helmets and jersey
One of my favorite games I ever watched!
Is this gonna be a fight til the death?
That could happen tomorrow night!
@@scottdecker9115 heck of a halftime show
I'll never forget that game! They made the playoffs that year as a wild card team, and I believe they lost on New Years Day 1995 to Philadelphia 58-37 when their former QB Rodney Peete had a career day and beat them. It was 51-7 at one point in that game! In the meantime, Dallas went on to win the Super Bowl that year. Oh well. Maybe this year the Lions can beat the Cowboys twice once in the regular season and again in the playoffs, and maybe, just maybe if we drink enough Kool-Aide they can win their first Super Bowl! Go Lions!
I’m feel grateful to see Barry Sanders, at silver dome. 2 times
The man, the myth, and legend Barry Sanders.. .
🐐
#20
I rememebr watching this on TV! This is s great video as it showcases two of the best backs to ever play the game. We dont see games like this in the NFL much anymore.
As a Lions fan i loved this team. Barry, Lomas, Herman, Jason, Morton, Blades. So many great players.
I've only been to a handful of Lions games in my lifetime, but I was at the game when Barry broke 2k and willed the Lions into the payoffs that year. I'll never see a better player in my lifetime.
Our very next game was vs new england where Barry had the famous running td where he turned the defender around.
Incredible game to watch.
Barry was another class above Emmitt. Don't get me wrong Emmitt was a great back, but his O-line was a monster O-line hands down.
Legend has it that ball is still spinning.
history repeats itself tomorrow
Say it together with me guys, “Cowboys Suck!”
Detroit vs Everybody
Where can I buy a Blades jersey, I never knew this legend and I feel like I’m disrespecting him for not knowing him
LFG Lions!
Great viedo🎉🎉
Give Barry their Oline and NOBODY would break his records for all of mankind.
^^ true dat!
Do you realize how dumb people who say this sound?
Barry didn’t follow his blockers. He improvised his runs. You’re so clueless to this you don’t even understand Smith ran to his blockers. When Barry did, he gained 2000 yards.
I cannot believe some of you bother posting what you don’t know about?
@@thomaswatkins3686 Sanders was better than emmit. You know it. The truth hurts and hard to swallow. Life goes on. They're time has passed. And common sense knows Barry was better than emmit. Emmit too was a great one But Sanders was better. That's how life rolls.
@@thomaswatkins3686Only idiot here is you Tommie Boy 😂
Best video team in the NFL
Let's see if we can conjure up lightening hitting in the same place twice. #GoLions #DetroitVsEverybody
It would have been nice to see Barry and Emmitt switch teams and see how things would go
Jason Hanson needs a gold jacket
lol. Why? He was a rather average kicker. Do you realize there’s literally a handful of kickers in the hall?
Show this to the team. Hopefully it will inspire 🙏
Are you kidding me?? They had Jason Hanson back then??? Dammnn
Maniac EAGLES fan here.
Yes, we booed Santa Claus.
Yes, we threw iceballs at refs AND Jimmy Johnson.
PLEASE BEAT DALLAS TONIGHT!!
PLEASE??
PLEASE!!
This video is dope as hell, the Lions' video productions has improved so much in the last few years. Can't Wait for MNF
Question to older Lions fans: Looking back at that these 90s Lions squads why didn't they get over the hump and win a SB? Was it Fontes' style of coaching? Was it not having a true franchise QB to take pressure off Barry? was it the Run and Shoot? What held these teams backs. #OnePride
You got this guys! This will be a tough game, but you beat the Chiefs and the Vikings! You can make this happen!! #OnePride
The first TD for both teams were in the end zone to #80. 3:25. 6:05.
I have to apologize to Herman, I forgot how awesome he was!
Emmitt always chased Barry.
Wow never have I seen a bad game by Jason Hanson
When Detroit lions dominate the cowboys please call it a home invasion cause we kicking down the door roaring 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
No hot takes here...... just thankful that I was able to watch game.....
Barry greatest running back ever. Unless 4th&1 on the one game on line. Then I want emmit
Now do October 27, 2013!!!!
As great as Barry was he was great, he just disappeared come playoff time. Barry only scored ONE TOUCHDOWN IN THE PLAYOFFS against Dallas in 1991. Compared that with Emmitt who has the most touchdowns in the playoffs for a running back tied with Thurman Thomas. Most rushing yards in the playoffs, most 100 yard games in the playoffs, and 3 Super Bowls. Dallas got it done with Troy Aikman at QB and Michael Irvin as receiver. The Lions had their one season in 1991 and when they had go to RFK, they got crushed and NEVER won at RFK against the Redskins. The window shut after 1991 and sadly Barry couldn't do anything in the playoffs compared with Emmitt.
How long did Emmit play. How long did Barry play.
If Barry played as many games he did, No one would ever come close. Even Emmit kind of said that!
I thought I seen a "one night in Dallas" video before but not football related...🤔
Its horrible the schedule makers failed to get us another smith vs sanders game, smh
Yeah the old schedule formula was weird as hell. I just learned bc of that Jim Kelly never played the Chargers, despite playing in the same conference lol.
Is it me, or do Jason Hanson look like Ben Johnston.
Reagrding the game of football. Barry Sanders is the best running back of all time, period! There's no debate. Anyone that plays the position is just a cheap shadowy reflection.
I'm wearing my Herman Moore 84 for tonight's big game in Dallas. Go Lions! Bring that big D energy!
Barry VS Emmitt probably not that important to Barry, just how he is
As a Detroit sports fan in the 80s and 90s I can tell you that the 2 worst things you could say to was Emmitt was better than Barry and Stockton was better than Isiah.. Those are fighting words to a Detroit sports fan because it was so obvious that Barry was better than Emmitt and Isiah was better than Stockton
Barry was better than emmit! Nuff said.
You aren’t strong enough to argue it, so you say nuff said.
@@thomaswatkins3686 what is it to argue. We are not bickering women here to argue about my said comment. You just don't get it. How can I be more specific in what I wrote. Sanders was better than emmit!
Lomis Brown . “That’s a big ass”
97.1 sighting
1994barry wider is going lions were could hero . emmit my beaten night after a the game fan best😂😮
Barry duhhhh
Lions are gonna run it all over the cowboys this Sunday 💯
Barry WAS BETTER HANDS DOWN
It’s crazy how the Lions hadn’t played in Dallas for 17 years before 1994. Now the NFL makes them play there every year and they get cheated every time.
DE JA VU'
Lions lost three in a row after that, proving that win over the Cowboys was a fluke.
I don't know if it was a fluke so much as a huge emotional letdown. You heard them say how much that game ment to all of them. That was just another game for Dallas.
Biggest difference between those two teams was coaching. Wayne Fontes was a boob, wouldnt even be allowed to be Jimmy Johnson's cupbearer lol.
