Vikings vs. Bears (Week 10, 1999) Classic Highlights

This is the third of a ten part, ten week series of great Randy Moss performances. Every Monday until the kickoff of the 2019 season, you will see highlights from a memorable game from The Freak.
This week we'll dive into the world of Jeff George. Yes, that's right, the guy who received the lowest amount of votes in the "which QB?" poll. I always love to please as few people as possible. Don't fret, Cunningham and Culpepper fans, they both will be back for more highlights soon!
Follow me on twitter for more highlights, as well as sneak peeks of my upcoming videos!

Man, Jeff George made throwing the football look effortless

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

Facts

[@bradleyboyer9979]

One of the best arms in history. Too bad his performance didn't match his arm strength, or he'd be one of the greats.

[@HiFiAwardTour]

Yeah but he ran like his knees were tied together

[@goosekhangaming1716]

Korey Stringer was a beast. He looked like a impenetrable brick wall on that line. RIP Korey.

[@funkydunkleman]

I'm sure someone will question why this is a "Moss Monday" game since he doesn't even score. I'll admit, this is more of a Carter game than anything, but this is also the only 200 yard game Randy had in his career, and was the most catches he had in a game as a Viking, with 12.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

It’s indeed a statistical standout game for him

[@treybear8174]

Don’t worry bro football fans won’t question why this is a moss Monday game 12 for 200 is good enough for me

[@matthewrogers6866]

Anthony and Chris 2 best receivers they ever had moss overrated bad teammate good hands but left oats hanging at s.b. quit on his teams many times no respect 4 that

[@treybear8174]

Matthew Rogers find one teammate or quote saying that moss was a bad teammate.....

[@TheBzoldos32]

He had two catches for the whole field to win the game

[@jackkitchen737]

Watching Jeff George throw a football was amazing. And this was one game that he saved Minnesota.

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

My boy Jeff George was straight slinging the rock in this game 27 of 44 for 374 yards 3tds.

[@matthewrogers6866]

Even lousy qb. Has good day

[@matthewrogers6866]

Ur boy sucks

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

@@matthewrogers6866 Jeff George was a DAMN good quarterback regardless of what you think.

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

@DH K Actually no I just happen to be a Jeff George fan (Trust me I wholeheartedly know I'm in the VERY small minority of NFL fans who liked Jeff George).

[@jaymule7342]

@@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic 🤣🤣 No, he wasn’t George was average at best and was a Jay Cutler lazy type of QB who tried to use arm strength to bail him out. Both those players are the poorest excuse for Brett Favre that I have ever seen. Moss made slop QBs look good!

[@jonathanlarge3134]

I miss the old white on white uniform combo of the vikings away jerseys

[@JaxonSmithers]

RIP Walter and Korey.

[@sethmaki1333]

Marcus "Koo Koo Kochuu Mr" Robinson. I can't unhear Chris Berman saying that on Sportscenter 😂

[@supervike1]

I was actually at this game. I wore my big Vikings winter coat and pulled out my Helga horns. You should have seen the dirty looks. When the Bears tied it up right at the end, the crowd started chanting "WALTER WALTER" It was freakin awesome. I'm glad we won it, but it was a LOOOOONG walk back to our car after that.

[@kaminator515]

As a Bears fan...that was a tough week. I was at this game just after we lost sweetness and taking a tough loss that day didn't help neither. I know there won't be much sympathy from the Vikings fans as i expect none 😂

[@thenextrung]

A couple of things: 1.) Marty Booker and Marcus Robinson were a good WR tandem that year. 2.) This makes me want to buy a Dreamcast and play NFL2k 😂

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

I STILL to this very day play my Sega Dreamcast with NFL & NBA 2K1.

[@nitronate62]

Still have my NCAA 2K2 Road to the Rose bowl with Drew Brees on the cover and NFL 2K3 with Urlacher

[@MrUnsolvedMystery]

Damn. Look at that quick release and throwing the long ball by Jeff George. Too bad he never had more seasons with the Vikings. Plus was the defense really that bad?

[@SwitcherooU]

Jeff George had a sweet arm. No idea why he didn't play longer.

[@tinakane4451]

Attitude issues, look almost every where he went he had problems, indy, atlanta, oakland, washington. His best bet would have been to stay on the vikings.

[@meharinationsportspodcast2582]

​@tinakane4451 George wanted to stay in Minnesota, but the organization drafted Culpepper in 1999. The funny thing is that Green was pursuing Marino for the 2000 season and nearly pulled it off. But, it didn't happen and they went with Culpepper. Culpepper was a far better choice than George.

[@CamberRockerCamber]

Moss with 200 yards but CC smoked them for 100 yards and 3 tds. Fuck this duo was so good.

[@SantiagoTM1]

I've been a Viking now for 49 seasons. In those 49 seasons, every fucken Viking Kicker has given me nigh sweats & nightmares! 49 seasons Ppl, 49! If only we'd had Jeff George minus his damn attitude. He threw the Football better than Warren Moon (Luv the guy), but shit, Jeff George threw the Football as if it were a Baseball... What an Arm...

[@ChitFromChinola]

What about Fred Cox?

[@SantiagoTM1]

@@ChitFromChinola , starting with that MaThaFa*A!

[@ChitFromChinola]

Ha.

[@atheismisamentaldisorder1839]

Seriously had zero defense in those days.

[@Johnhargrove18]

After 1998 our defense was always bottom 25 of the league for like 10 straight years and just relied on the offense.

[@jayNicks10]

Gary Anderson had a pretty rough 1999. But he went back to form in 2000.

[@jbsmg]

I forgot about this game. I was so worried they'd lost and all wed hear about for weeks after was the ghost of Payton.

[@matthewrogers6866]

Rip mr. Stringer

[@robbieg4700]

how in te everlovin fuck has my team never one a super bowl unbelievable.

[@Oogiddyboogway]

Turns out …. Walter Peyton did NOT have his hand on the ball 🤭

[@bradleyboyer9979]

Marcus Robinson was phenomenal for like two years.

[@brentschumacher2494]

Loved Jeff George. Typical Vikes team from that time: prolific offense, porous defense.

[@stevewarren4813]

I have always wondered what happened that made the Vikings only give Jeff George that one season.

[@baracksays9401]

Daunte happened

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

@@baracksays9401 Love Daunte Culpepper but Denny Green should've resigned Jeff George in 2000.

[@garycobiak5926]

They might of won an SB with George in 2000

[@NhuTech]

Daunte to Moss was a killer tandem... Love watching him hit Moss with the deep throw like it's nothing. Everyone got Mossed with Daunte!

[@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic]

@@NhuTech But a Jeff George to Randy Moss tandem for a full 16 game season would've been even better because you're combining the quarterback with the strongest arm in NFL history & tied with Joe Namath for the second quickest release behind Dan Marino who also happened to be an outstanding deep ball passer with the greatest deep threat/vertical wide receiver ever in Randy Moss goodness gracious it would've been more filthy than porn.

[@wb6162]

Of course the Vikings win. Never a doubt.

[@LeonardStauffer]

Carter Moss Reed. Name 3 better WR’s. I don’t know any off hand.

[@paulolson3799]

Do you have the Vikings Vs Giants Playoff Win where Jim McMahon was the Vikes QB??

[@margaretmcintosh1986]

Gary Anderson made that if only the before he could do that if would have the Denver broncos vs Minnesota Vikings instead it way the Denver broncos vs the Atlanta falcons

[@jbsmg]

Also, the only good games Jim Miller ever had was against the Vikings.

[@lorenheaton7524]

Just goes to show how bad this defense sucked

[@sinicalypse]

My lord, its the dawn of the #OurJimMiller era. He was definitely no "Sugar" Shane Matthews

[@kootybear]

Boy did we have some terrible defense in 99. With having moss and carter and no defense, we did decent

[@mattt8889]

Vikes pass D was trash.

[@bennygarcia7786]

Unfortunately the super bowl is Vikings proof

[@lorenheaton7524]

This Vikings defense sucked so bad!

[@dalegribble1560]

John Randle and Robert Griffith at least made some plays but yeah other than that it was hot garbage...

[@sinicalypse]

Jeff George won the game for em, but wow that Minnesota kicker truly screwed the pooch at the end of regulation. Then Walt Harris with the INT. Then Boniol misses a potential GW FG, then a long PI on Cris Carter to set up another GW FG that Gary Anderawn barely made from 38. #ThemsThe90sBurrs

[@MrUnsolvedMystery]

38 yards was the distance he missed in the 1998 nfc championship game

[@midrangetorque]

YYYEZZZIRRR!!!

[@bearstown19show]

Why Vikings wear 34 patch 1999 season

[@robertmartin6306]

Sweetness died 11/1/99

[@ChairmanMeow1]

george wasnt the best decision maker... or accurate lol... but man he had a cannon arm

[@BroadwayLTDProductions]

All these Moss Monday videos were Vikings blowing out the Packers and this one against the Bears is a close OT victory with help from the refs....go figure.

[@jayNicks10]

How’d the refs help in this one?

[@sinicalypse]

5:40 = #JimMillerUnderSiege

[@Seanpatf66]

Walt Harris should never had taken a knee after his interception in overtime. Bonio was not reliable as a kicker.

[@mattwilkie9713]

CC was a baaaad man

[@matthewrogers6866]

In n.e. remember cory as temp. Get to 105degrees today drink water.....

[@rosannesalas123]

Robert Smith RB Queens used two shit down his legg and have nightmares going up against the Bears Defense.
