Randy vs. GB Round 2 - Packers vs. Vikings (Week 12, 1998) Classic Highlights

[@SNESdrunk]

The way Randy Moss could just absolutely take over a game like that is something that hasn't been seen before or since. No other wideout was ever as effortlessly dominant

[@vikingfanize]

Jefferson isn't far behind - he's just not the home run hitter Randy was. Jefferson's more of a Moss/Carter combo.

[@deanladue3151]

The season, and the impact that Randy Moss had as a rookie in 1998 is something that might never be seen again. There have great receivers drafted in the years since, but none of them had the mind blowing talent and ability to take over a game like Randy did in '98.

[@hueyang5943]

My childhood. Thank you Randy Moss, Cris Carter, Cunningham, Robert Smith, John Randle, Ed McDaniel, Randall McDaniel, Robert Griffith. And Denny Green.

I was 8 in 98 and this was the first year I started to understand football. Wish I could relive that time, I didn't comprehend how good we were and how close we got.

Arguably the best ever! R.I.P. guys!

best football duo ever

[@treybear8174]

8:51 "I think randy moss as a rookie is better than jerry rice was as a rookie." Ive also heard john madden say that it was obvious to him when randy stepped foot on the field as a rookie that he was the best player in football....but he didnt want to oversell him for fear it may not work out

[@treybear8174]

J Mo facts

[@deanladue3151]

The league had never seen anything like Moss before. He had size, athleticism, and jaw dropping speed. Except for Darrell Green, Moss pretty much blew the doors off any CB that had to cover him.

[@ugotmossed84]

Not really going out on a limb for Madden. Rice rookie season: 49/927/3 Moss: 69/1313/17

[@treybear8174]

@@ugotmossed84 oh no I know it’s just most football guys all knew that Randy was the best player in football….but few were willing to actually say it on television like Madden…or Dan Dierdorf…for some reason whenever he had a Moss game he gave him props too.

[@TheOfficialMole]

Its amazing how these old games remind me of exactly where I was. I was 7 years old, it was only the 2nd Packers/Vikings game I'd ever watch (The MNF Moss game was the first) and our church held a viewing party at a local dine-in theater in Burnsville, Minnesota. This game sold me on being a Vikings fan.

Moss is the GOAT....

[@michaelleroy9281]

Jerry Rice

[@ifmbm332b]

Rice's numbers don't lie and statistically he's easily the best but even he couldn't take over a game completely like Moss could. Remember this is Moss's ROOKIE year. Absolutely dominant player that changed the game. @@michaelleroy9281

[@jimmyconway1628]

Thanks Funky, after watching the sorry Vikings today, I needed this.

[@santonucci]

As a lifelong Viking fan, I can only think about what should have been in 1998. Fucking Gary Anderson...

[@Gungho73]

I really don't think people give Randle his worth sometimes, like the general public. The DT we are getting today at the top who can get 5 sacks or so is so incredibly hard to find with that year-year consistency and even when I was in high school a McCoy/Atkins for example was top of the league let alone a guy like Aaron Donald. Randall was not only in a league of his own at times, but the dude set the pace for DT's to follow. 8 years of 10 plus sacks in a row at that position is monstrous. Barely missed 9. Don't give that man a reason to hate you.

[@royals080]

It's amazing when I DT gets that many sacks frfr. Aaron donald and chris jones are top tier these days

[@sludge8506]

The Vikings have had one of the toughest times in the Super Bowl era. So many great teams and really good teams, with no Super Bowl wins. 😢😢

[@yieldinhiding]

Couldn't get tickets for this game so we brought our TV and watched it in the tailgate lot off of Washington Ave. Great time and a great win!

[@sludge8506]

Unseasonably warm. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

Brett Favre running around the dome for his life as usual, the house of horrors for Favre and the Packers. That crowd noise really energized the Vikings defense to play above their talent level. Randy Moss made my childhood so much more fun, what a spectacle he was, will never see another player quite like Randy Moss again.

[@deanladue5367]

11 years later, Favre was wearing the purple and gold, and making the dome a house of horrors for visiting teams. Funny how life works out.

[@Logan-dk8of]

7:40 "what do ya do?" announcer got i, that 1998 vikings wr lineup is unstoppable

[@jayteegamble]

Moss, Carter, and Reed were all great but even guys like Matthew Hachette and David Palmer were pretty darn good.

[@jimdahlin7333]

That third quarter pick thrown by Cunningham, if I remember correctly, was the only Viking turnover until that fateful sack/fumble by Cunningham inside the two-minute warning against the Falcons that Atlanta scored on, on the next play, cutting a 20-7 Vikings lead to 20-14 going into halftime of the NFC Championship. They went almost 6 games without a turnover, just another thing that kept going right for the Vikes on that joyride that was the '98 season. Until Gary Anderson missed. I was at the game, and all of us who had been longtime Vikings fans knew what was going to happen next......

[@deanladue5367]

It was also the play where Jake Reed re-injured his back. He had injured it against the Saints a couple games back, Reed would have back surgery after and would miss the rest of the season.

[@bkoetter42]

The Adjustment Moss made @7:29 was amazing.

[@UWalvern0810]

“Who 𝘪𝘴 this guy!?” I rhetorically asked myself about 100 times that year…🤯 Moss was electric!

Purple Sword 3 You can’t lay it all on Gary Anderson. The play calling and coaching decisions made during that game are more to blame than anything.

[@purplesword3800]

1 Super Motl i should remind you that the Atlanta falcons in 98 were 14-2.. It's not like the vikings got beat by a 9-7 wild card team.. This game was gonna be decided by a narrow margin.. Anderson's miss was crucial...

[@c0c014]

Not just Gary. Fumbled before half. Griffith drops a pick before tying TD. Smith running out of bounds on final drive multiple times instead of staying in bounds as instructed to bleed clock. This all happened before the miss. It was a total team loss and it still hurts!
