Been watching the NFL for 45 years, and Moss's third TD in this game is still one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen. This is something you'd expect in a high school game, but Moss was doing it to other pros. Simply crazy.

[@edwardoutlawjr8154]

Favorite of the 3 he had here. Safety had the angle on Moss, but it didn't matter.

[@Grrr036]

I'm 61 years old, and in my lifetime I have never seen a WR like Moss. He was the greatest deep threat the game has ever seen. Easy to see why he was called "The Freak".

[@StephenDoty84]

I don't recall ever hearing Jerry Rice call him that.

[@TorgoFraNorgo]

Randy Moss was certainly a better deep threat than Jerry Rice. I don't even think that's controversial.

[@phaedo1384]

haven’t seen a WR in the last 20 years come out of college with the talent Randy had. May never see his likes again

[@michaeldayer3522]

Jerry and Irving were tougher and better team players. Moss was fast and a Freak but nowhere near Rice or Irving. Cowboy here

[@ravenken]

I'm 57 and my favorite receiver before Moss was Mr. Sticky Fred B. I hated Oakland but loved watching Fred play. Then came Moss. Wow. He's my first pick on the playground. There are plenty of strong arms that can toss it to him but I can't think of anyone else before Moss that I want running down the field to catch it.

[@shakeandjake_1]

"Just because two guys were on him doesn't mean he's covered." - Billick sums up Moss' greatness

[@kmula6699]

And he still could roast the Cowboys at age 39 🐐

[@michaeldayer3522]

With no rings either

[@sparklesparkle2192]

he would of had game winning td in superbowl if pats defense didnt choke and the super lucky david tyree helmet catch

[@michaeldayer3522]

@Marquis De Sade great comnents. 👏👏👏

[@AnonymousRandomGuy006]

Vicente Kaho According to people saying Brady is the 🐐, yes.

[@Dev-zd3rx]

No rings

[@TampaAries]

This dude was the Barry Sanders of Wide Receivers.

[@andym28]

A team with Brady Sanders and Moss would be unstoppable and magical.

[@Shaadyrock23]

Andy M simply a beautiful art piece it would be. my favorite wr and to running back. 🤧🤧

[@tomy5868]

na...Moss didn't quit early.

[@trevionsewell8955]

I don't care that Randy Moss never won a Super Bowl he is the Best Wide Receiver ever and no player in NFL history has had the impact on football that Randy Moss had and still has to this day

[@pm69669]

He should have won one if it wasn't for a lucky catch

[@verdict44]

trevion sewell no

[@rd2652]

[@brianjames723]

Everybody just gon ignore that “Slingshot” Randall Cunningham had.

[@smhazelton372]

[@jamiehoyle26]

[@TheShepdawg9]

Fantastic QB

[@imustbgr8313]

One of the most underrated Qb’s in the game.

[@olymsailor83]

20 years later...this still turns my stomach. Good Job Jerry!

[@hansolo1935]

"I'll start next week coach! I'm still hurtin' " D. Sanders

Haha he had turf toe Man..😂

[@jamesmckane1205]

He knew he was toast. Prime time was going to get canceled so he faked an injury

[@NeoNitty]

Jerry never second guessed again when it came to drafting players who had “issues” coming into the draft. Hit or miss, he wasn’t going to miss out again..he learned a valuable lesson from missing out on Moss. Moss’ performance that day was as good as grandmas meal.

[@jaimelopez2187]

I agree thats why he took g hardy it wasnt bcause hes a hypocrite hes a buisness man who gave into moral decay for the love of superbowls,

[@jaimelopez2187]

I say this moss was the best ever, im a cowboy fan but credit is due here to moss, even thou he intintially wanted to bring the boys down, its ok" what i dont like is that he never got a superbowl ring that is the same as B Sanders w/o a sb ring,just wish we would've had the wherewithal to have gotten him, but im thankful for the great micheal irving=3superbowls

[@danieldominguez8115]

"Cowboys gonna pay, On thanksgiving day." - RandyMoss

[@fredrickprice7224]

Both Jerry Rice, and Randy Moss the two greatest receivers that I've ever seen......

[@kentertainment9426]

Still can't believe we missed the kick in the NFC Championship

[@questionableidentity1]

Kentertainment that was a divisional playoff game

[@wholesomecomment45]

it was the nfc championship

[@questionableidentity1]

Wait, what year are you guys talking about?

[@Jimmy_Hopkins15]

QuestionableIdentity. It was the NFC championship game aganst the falcons

[@TorgoFraNorgo]

Costa Zambaras, The 1998 NFCCG remains the single most heartbreaking moment of my life. Last year's blowout, as painful as it was, was a minor disappointment in comparison. But you shitbird Eagles fans who can't let it go should know that it's not even the worst blowout served to the Vikings in an NFCCG. The Giants did it better than you. Learn your history, kid. And learn to be a graceful winner; it'll serve you well in life.

[@JimMelcher]

That day, when the Vikings 'red zone' started at their own 45-yard line. My favorite moment was 5:41, that smile Cunningham gave Chris Carter when he saw Moss isolated one-on-one against Charlie Williams.

[@maggiehill789]

He was smiling at the CB

[@AkBIGTexS]

Fun Fact, each of the last 4 teams to set the NFL scoring record have failed to win the SB

[@yzwme586]

Best WRs that ever played: 1. Randy Moss 2. Jerry Rice 3. Everyone else

[@mikexoxxxo]

Terrell Owens

[@mikexoxxxo]

Chris Carter

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

adrenaline You gotta put T.O. at #3, then list everybody else. Seriously, T.O. had a MAJOR impact on 5 different teams. Even in his 15th year, with his 5th different team, he had 72 receptions, 983 yards, and 9 TDs in 14 games. Do you know how insane that is?

[@coleslaw3365]

Rice is a great wr but he is a cheater.. Dude used stickums throughout his career...

[@coleslaw3365]

naturalselector85 rice used stickums=cheater

[@FussiestClient]

Honestly rings aren't always the best way to determine greatness. Randy Moss was easily the most dominate player in the NFL. Quite possibly the most dominate player ever. Defenses would focus their game plan on Moss, teams don't do things like that anymore

[@israelp348]

PSG Wrigglee I'd argue Rob Gronkowski is more dominant

[@TorgoFraNorgo]

The Packers drafted 3 DB's with their first three picks in 1999 after his rookie year, just to stop Randy Moss. It didn't help much. And Israel P, Moss was on TWO different teams that set the NFL all time scoring record, mostly because of him. He scored 17 touchdowns on the first one (most ever for a rookie) and 23 touchdowns on the second (most ever for anyone in a single season). Gronk might be the best tight end in NFL history, but I would take Moss over him 100 times out of 100. No comparison.

[@kobeisthegoat5767]

Sentry Stout that’s what losers say!😂😂😂😂😂😂(not randy moss,but losers!)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@darrallshamarwilliams7560]

Even on Madden 03 my friend who played against me on the Vikings would center his entire defense on double and triple sometimes four men on Moss. He would never care about any other player even the quarterback lol

[@sarahbrooks3087]

Insert terrell Owens......

[@protegee2]

This was the best era of being a Vikings fan. Randy Moss is the best receiver ever so glad he played for us. #Vikings

[@cfapps7865]

Unstoppable in his early years.

[@liveinlovealways]

Unstoppable in all of his years

[@melancholypuppy3595]

John Doe honestly 23 in one year with Brady if only it could've been two

[@liveinlovealways]

Moss played 52 games with Brady and had 50 TDs.

[@patrickr2691]

Wrong, 36 games with Brady and 39 TD. 08 was all Matt Cassel...

[@joshuahaynes7413]

Randy moss is the most talented football player ever .. we will never ever see another 6 foot 4 man with sprinter long stride 4.1 to 4.2 speed who can out jumo everyone and has soft hands . Once in a lifetime player forsure

[@BattlefieldTampaTV5]

Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are the best 2 receivers of all time! Jerry Rice played with 2 not 1 but 2 Hall of Famers quarterbacks!

[@jbsmg]

Don't forget, Moss dropped what would have been a 60+ yard TD late in the 4th quarter. Can you imagine a statline of 4 catches, 225 yards, and 4 TDs?

[@just_2swift]

jbsmg yooo

[@jbsmg]

@Jerod S so?

[@maggiehill789]

5 catches 5 scores.... He had a two pointer

[@moseschannel90]

it kind weird to hear. "he wouldn't take him cause of character issues" about a guy who signed Gregg Hardy.

[@cityhawk]

Ethan Moses And don't forget drafting Randy Gregory as well.

[@87alock]

Ethan Moses. And Terrell Owens.

[@TorgoFraNorgo]

Well, yeah, if you passed on Randy Moss because of character concerns, you're not going to make that mistake ever again.

[@Fightorflight31]

and pacman jones? This missed opportunity is when Jerry should have stepped down. If he drafted Moss, I think they have at the least 2 more super bowl wins

[@C1assic074]

“We were beginning to understand that 2 guys on Randy Moss did not mean he was covered” lmao!

[@briancromartie3149]

still can't believe this team didn't go too the Superbowl. If only they had a average defense that year. Vikings vs Broncos would have been much better

[@dwildhockey24b]

Gary Anderson

[@Lashawn19]

+Brian Cromartie No, I can't believe they miss that field goal.

[@rxbertyrn]

Corey Johnson the commentators jinxed it

[@FreshPeezy]

Brian Cromartie Yeah they usually just outscored teams but couldn't stop a nose bleed. Hence u had a score like this one 46 - 36. They kind of had a "crap shoot gambling" team. Took chances on O vs. D.

[@briancromartie3149]

OG_Based_Noodles yeah, the one lost they had too Tampa Bay they scored 21 points I think.

[@williefufu2985]

I’m a Cowboys fan, I remember the Cowboys telling Randy Moss that they would draft him and not drafting him, Randy Moss cried. Then The Vikings and Randy Moss came to Dallas on Thanksgiving, I’m from Dallas, I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan, I was happy for Randy Moss and those spectacular Touchdowns he and Randal Cunningham made. Hey, keep your word Cowboys, right is right.

[@themadlad8540]

I remember this game well. The whole football world was like wow.

[@BGizzle8098]

That tecmo bowl comment caught me off guard..😂😂

[@darrallshamarwilliams7560]

Randy Moss the reason i bought Madden 2003

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Oh BTW he did this against the NFL’s #3 scoring defense and #1 in the NFC.

[@opentrunk]

I wasn't born until 2 weeks after this game but I'll never forget the muffled screams of my mother and her jumping up & down while she ate a huge turkey dinner. I thought, "What the hell's goin' on out there?!"

[@YoungGemma]

Randy Moss is the Goat

[@darrallshamarwilliams7560]

"My gosh! Are we playing Tecmo Superbowl here? " 😂😂😂❤ Moss the GOAT

[@wanderingwade8877]

I loved those days. It's so great seeing this video.

[@shaydawg8415]

I've watched highlights of this game Hundreds of times and they never get old

[@judahisrisingyahschosen9481]

Dallas had the nerve to pass on somebody because of character issues?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭

[@dhinton1]

That's what shocked a LOT of people.

[@quietcorner293]

Dallas owed us after the Herschel Walker trade.

[@trh6805]

I miss listening to Pat Summerall and John Madden call football games. Those were the good old days :)

[@neighborhoodsofatlanta4028]

3 catches. 3 touchdowns. 163 yards. lmao Moss was ridiculous.

[@maggiehill789]

2 pointer too

[@hamricmike8]

"Throw. The Ball. Up. Over his head!! They can't jump with me!! GOLLY!!" - Randy Moss

[@JediKnightmare]

I catch a beat running like RANDY MOSS - Killer Mike 💯

[@charlesticer1431]

When you shoot a paper ball in the trash can you yell "Kobe" When you catch a ball over ANYONE for ANY reason, they just got Mossed. Records, championships and all that mean little to the degree of impact players like Moss have. Legend!

[@tanksherman9875]

Moss is the GOAT at WR, and I'm a Packers fan.

[@maggiehill789]

Rice earned that title.... Moss didn't

[@joypadbandit624]

I remember this game, and the reason was how everyone, at Thanksgiving was saying "Who the heck is this Randy Moss Kid? He's killing the Cowboys!". LOL! #GoodTimes

[@Will008]

I loved watching every minute of this game!!!

[@Presley3]

I remember this watching this game. Randy Moss could of been the greatest WR to ever play the game. And may still be. GO☆COWBOYS

[@uberhikari]

Almost twenty years ago, and I remember watching this game live as a 9 year old. That third touchdown @5:47 was especially memorable. I just remember thinking, "Damn, he's so fast it looks like everybody else is standing still."

[@brucedavis76]

Its really weird that everyone says Dallas didnt draft a certain great player when several other teams passed on the so called great player also.

[@scottross4374]

bruce davis it’s because he wanted so bad to play for Dallas....and the Dallas players wanted him....heck I believe Deion even took him on a tour of Dallas....

[@dhinton1]

Right. He was a Cowboys fan THROUGH college. and the Cowboys were THE team projected to take him.

[@justinmueller5584]

Jerry Jones was worried about character issues? 😂😂😂

[@dannyyang1202]

Remember like it was yesterday. .. great offensive not so good defense. .Should of gone to SB and win it..Gosh how Vikings broke my heart every years..

[@jeebs9]

I have no team in this match up. But boy this is my favorite Thanksgiving game of all time. Because I had called this wild game. While all my friend thought I was crazy lol. I laugh every year watching this.

[@playoffmodesp2536]

Thanks nfl, with this video the bandwaggons can finally see the pain that real fans felt (btw i hate the cowgirls)

[@alexandermiranda3857]

GO COWBOYS!! (im from Arlington btw so u cant say im a bandwagon)

Imperii I'm personally a cowboys fan, and I've been waiting for a year like this for ages. But the bandwagon gang has made me want to end my life half the time.

[@zachman8289]

[@keshon79]

Imperii hater

[@benostlie3012]

Alexander Miranda Lol where were you last year?

[@libertyBuilders]

I played high school football in West Virginia when Randy played and we kept hearing about this wide receiver from DuPont that was so good the quarterback just threw the ball as hard as he could and he would run up under it no matter where it was or how many guys were covering him, and I was like yea right he can’t be that good so I went to watch him play and was like damn he’s better than everyone says and knew right then this guy is going to be great!!! A couple good friends of mine played basketball against Randy and Jason Williams in the state championship in 94 and actually beat them!

[@eric5280]

safe to say it was the greatest 3 catch game ever.

[@redman3583]

I remember that game like it was yesterday.

[@ravenken]

Thank you Brian for admitting that all you were doing was calling the deep ball to Moss.

[@ariefraiser140]

The last time Jerry ever let character concerns get in the way of getting a great player.

[@TreFKennedy]

Should have drafted moss smh

[@devenlee9944]

TreFKennedy I still couldn't believe Jerry & Com. passed on Moss and that year my Cowboys paid for it, but that's the past I'm focused on the here and now 2016 - 2017 Cowboys

[@devenlee9944]

TreFKennedy​ both those guys were open but I guess Dak wanted to keep it simple and not have the defender close in on the pass, but Dez was open in the end zone all by himself

[@bdub4335]

Man that was a great week for my fantasy team

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

[@phaedo1384]

Most talented receiver there ever was and probably ever will be

[@TheBzoldos32]

They always leave out the fourth catch...He was 4-4 that day 3 TDS and a 2 pointer

[@VictorELayne77]

When someone makes a ridiculous catch on you, they don’t say you got “Riced”... You got “Mossed”

[@soma27]

I wish they would also talk more about the 60 ish yard PI call they had on moss that probably woulda been another td, but even still that was 60 more yards moss got them cause the cowboys just could not stop him.

[@brennanbrown4253]

My favourite receiver all time. He crushed db’s. he even destroyed revis after being called out

[@chrisuncleahmad]

This was against a Dallas team BTW that had the NFC’s best scoring defense in 1998 and #3 overall

It's just too bad Dion Sanders was out due to injury. We could of had a show down of the best at their own position. We missed the match of the century.

[@josephreza9876]

we got this

[@dougbones7095]

Jerry Jones is the reason why the Cowboys won't ever win a title. Jimmy Johnson was fired for going against Jerry. Aikman, Deion Sanders, Emmett Smith, Randy Moss. That matchup would have been unfair.
