Next lesson is a showndownfor the ages on " Showdown Sunday " " between the Lions and Bills early on FOX/Sunday Ticket as the " Motown Lion King Tour " Staring Barry Sanders in 1997 up in Orchard Park is: The Wagon Circles Around The Lion King 🦁🦁🐂🐂😁. Two Oklahoma State running backs make history together in the rushing combo in the same school which will be at the end. The Bills coming off a bye week after the shootout comeback with the Colts while the Lions coming off the win with Green Bay go head to head as Todd Collins and does a ' K-Gun' like offense with Thomas run setting up a 3-0 lead early with a Collins TD to Andre Reed to put them up a 10-0 but special teams of Buffalo has been snoozing in 1997 so farbut wakes up with a blocked punt off of Detroit James Jett from Ken Harvey before halftime with Bobby Ross pissed off but Barry Sanders shooks and jives thanks to the blocking of Herman Moore, as Scott Mitchell thows to Moore and Mitchell does Steve Young like running it in but special team plays a factor on the Bills pinning the Lions on the 1 yard line as Sanders tries to get out of dodge but the defense of Bruce Smith pins him down for a Bills safety as its up 15-13 then the Bills offense shuts the door with Rookie Antowin Smith with a 56 yard GW TD as the Bills gets the victory as the defense had 4 sacks in the game as the wagon still has tred left without Jim Kelly, as for Barry Sanders next week he's bout to make history up there with one of the most elusive running backs of Jim Brown next week against the Bucs down in Tampa. End of Lesson ( Paul Kennedy and Jerry Glanville on the call on this game 1:00 😁) . Class Notes: Sanders has 107 rushing yards and Thomas had only 75 rushing yards in the game combined the mathematics of thier great careers and numbers they become the top rushing combo of all time of the same school of 23,253 yards altogether, 2nd is USC rushing combo of Marcus Allen & O.J. Simpson at 23,157 3rd is Syracuse of Jim Brown and Larry Csonka at 20,393 and the 4th is Jackson State University of Walter Payton and Ricky Young at 20,392. This is all true facts of football knowledge for all of you espically young new generation.
