Favre & Barry In Primetime! (Packers vs. Lions 1998, Week 7)

Hearing Mike Patrick on the call for Sunday Night Football produces the absolute best nostalgia for of growing up in the 90s. Fresh popcorn, cold Pepsi can with the new "wide mouth" opening, not a single care or responsibility in the world. My only obligation is to take in primetime NFL football on this perfect Sunday evening. Life is good.

Can you imagine how many yards Barry Sanders would have had in this game if that huge run 15:15 hadn’t been called back by a penalty?🤦🏾‍♂️☝️

[@Knightmessenger]

I think it would have put him over the 1500 yard mark, if his yards in the other games were unchanged.

[@kinginanorth]

@@Knightmessenger To say the call was terrible doesn't put it into perspective. A hold literally takes place on every down. This one was not any different if you rewatch it. Here are some of the milestones that were removed because of this call. Would have been his 6th run of 80 yards or more Would have been his 6th season of 1500 yards or more rushing Would have been his 5th consecutive season of 1500 yards or more rushing Would have finished with career 100 yards a game playing 153 games and gaining 15349 rushing yards Would have been his 100-rushing touchdown Would have averaged just over 5.0 yards a carry for his career

Bro cmon. Barry made the playoffs half the seasons he played, even made the NFC Championship game. And the Lions made the playoffs the year Barry retired. Their problem stemmed from facing the Cowboys dynasty of the 90s with one year of Scott Mitchell as their only competent QB
