Lions Legends: Barry vs. Emmitt | One Night in Dallas 🎬

[@khristineher2204]

I wish we'd have NFL Sunday Tickets back then, I would watch every Lions game.

[@Detroit_Desu]

I see shades of Barry in Gibbs, we are gonna be in for a treat for a long time

[@JoeyWoodpine69]

Thank you Sheila!

[@swaggy5939]

Sky is the limit for our lions

[@tarb1320]

If only they played with this motivation every week. This team should have won a Super Bowl.

[@geoffginnard1195]

94monday night game is the best Lions game I ever saw..

[@GottaLookInwardToSeeOutward]

watch the 92 wild card game in detroit then

[@astrotherapist]

Naw, the playoff win vs Troy Aikman 38-7 was so much sweeter.

[@NuRm69]

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.

[@philipc8843]

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.

[@stevep-he8ct]

bye bye berry explains what happen

[@twig2950]

Their offense line sucked. They had mediocre QBs. But barry and their receivers were absolute monsters. They had the best kicker of all time too. Jason Hanson i believe

[@user-vx6hm8fs3v]

I remember watching this game it was so awesome. You saw emmitt running through gapping holes and barry, making things magically happen.

[@hexander2525]

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!

[@disco4535]

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.

[@Lukeduke7773]

💯 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.

[@Chevda2485]

Fact

[@vincentjohnflorio]

Even if they had the same numbers and equal talent, Barry was more fun to watch

[@Roar_Restored]

*Every record would have been shattered if Barry played behind that offensive line.*

[@thomaswatkins3686]

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 KZbin highlights of the guy.

[@alpardo4124]

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.

[@lincolnklayvr]

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

[@thomaswatkins3686]

So if Barry didn’t follow his blockers, why do fans always harp on how much better smith’s line was?

[@lincolnklayvr]

@@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

[@TheCollectorCave]

Ending that with still having your Starter jacket is pure gold! Love that!

[@lincolnklayvr]

@@TheCollectorCave appreciate it , we've suffered for so long as Lions fans

[@djdanicp]

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!

[@philbradley5599]

Looking forward to tomorrow night ! GO LIONS.

[@VINNYBOOVISION]

Our very next game was vs new england where Barry had the famous running td where he turned the defender around.

[@DetroitLove]

I'm wearing my Herman Moore 84 for tonight's big game in Dallas. Go Lions! Bring that big D energy!

[@JasonTom]

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!

[@ashwinrebbapragada7626]

Herman Moore and Barry Sanders were great for the Lions. Fantastic to see the Lions beat the Cowboys on the road. What a game!!!

[@chrisbarnes6770]

Our Lions smell the blood all the way from Detroit. Lions will do it again today. 💯

[@Jon-eg7xj]

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 🦁

[@richardbrettfeld6231]

Brings back awesome memories. It was a team effort and can't wait for the game tomorrow night. Go Lions!!!

[@salamanderz5847]

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 😅

i think Dallas and Detroit are a big rivalry. There games are always Huge!

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!!!

@@REXX-STRONGSTYLE I agree

[@robertwelsh2499]

That was kick ass. Barry is undoubtedly the best ever. Anyone that can't see that is blind. He's like the babe ruth/Michael Jordan of football. His moves were like something we've neve seen before or since. Simple as that

[@400hpGTO]

Excellent production. Keep it up!

[@iamviridescent]

Jason Hanson 🐐 sighting!

[@astrotherapist]

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!

[@pavement1222]

First time we saw the throwbacks. Awesome to see and hear from Mark Champion in this video ❤

[@JRBetley32]

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.

[@donwilber1628]

Thank you Barry!

[@twig2950]

Man herman moore and brett perriman and morton are some of the best receivers the game ever seen. Its a shame they never had a good QB, or a good team at that. They were so talented

[@TheCollectorCave]

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.

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

[@VINNYBOOVISION]

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.

[@redmustangredmustang]

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.
