Great compilation! Shame so many plays from the 60s-80s are lost except the legendary ones like the Steve Young run, Barry Sanders etc. Lotta "of all time" compilations are really just the last 15-20 years but probably because there's a lot better coverage for the NFL and sports in general now. Lynn Swann's catch in the superbowl, Mark Bavaro carrying 6 defenders, any of Jim Brown's highlights, Lawrence Taylor bullrushing and sacking with one arm, you name it are all time greats too!

To exclude Tony Dorsett's longest run from scrimmage in NFL history or his goal line reversal during his rookie season against the Cards; Preston Pearson's full-out diving TD grab in the 1975 NFC title game against the Rams; Gale Sayers' punt return TDs; Emmitt's TD run against the Falcons when a group of Falcons initially knocked him backwards; Deion Sanders' TD punt return against the Rams during his rookie season (after initially dropping the ball); the Don Beebe strip of Leon Lett on the goal line during Super Bowl 27.
