NFL Primetime: 1995 Week 5 (ESPN October 1st, 1995)

[@mcarroll598]

Those old Buc unis! Nice! 24 years ago, crazy how time flies!

[@drewzuhosky6826]

The reason as to why this episode is shorter was because a scheduled baseball game on ESPN ran long (this having aired on the last day of the shortened 1995 MLB season).

19:52. At that time, the longest run by a QB in NFL History. And against a Buddy Ryan defense.

[@jeromeashley9972]

Marshall Faulk was toting that rock

[@MountainMan.]

Herschel Walker played for the Giants? WTF

[@donaldtNS]

@19:53 we see Steve Bono running all the way to Dorktown. And to follow it up with a Fat Guy Touchdown? Brilliant.

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

19:53 Steve "I Got You Babe' Bono for 76 yards!

[@jasonwalker9091]

Chris Kreager That's why he went to the Pro bowl but Kordell Stewart broke Bono record with an 80 touchdown run against Carolina in the last week of the 1996 season when Sir purr interfered the punt return lol, and Bill Cowher laughed we all did lol.😊 I have A 1995 Chiefs Steve Bono and Neil Smith of 1994 Starter Red jersey with matching Starter Chiefs hat with the Pro line tag straight 90's😎😎😎 old school all day. Bill Pieto must have been high as hell during the Chiefs and Cardinals highlights😂.

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

A rare scene- oh my goodness, the Patriots are getting in the endzone. 😂

Their offense was useless in 95

Since that 1995 AL West baseball race was so good, I got to wondering: are the Mariners EVER going to make the playoffs again, or are they just screwing around like they did from 1977-1994? I mean, they win 116 games in 2001, then we never hear from them again. They must have the same condition the Washington Bullets/Wizards have (have a nice run, then basically fall into irrelevancy), but at least that franchise has a 1978 title to show for their efforts, such as they are. All these years later, and now I get Chris Berman's Scott Zolak reference; so, it's a song from The Kinks, "Lola" (I think it's a lovely song).

Cowboys wasted a million dollars on Wade Wilson. That's 36 million total they wasted on FA in '95.

[@STP43FAN1]

That hurt them worse than failing in the draft.

[@andyprovin9108]

Thanks for uploading. My copy of this episode doesn't start until the baseball game ended so I don't have the Bucs/Panthers game.

[@insidetheredzone]

I have over 2,000 NFL games. Real games from.start to finish from the 70s 80s 90s to present

Andy Provin where are all your old NFL Primetime videos?

Andy Provin my favorite NFL team from the early 90s Atlanta Falcons Dallas Cowboys Houston Oilers Los Angeles Raiders and Los Angeles Rams

@@charlesconner9044 I wasn't on KZbin for almost two years (family death, condemned homes, all the good stuff really), but I remember Andy's uploads getting pulled on his one channel, and I don't know if his 1991 PrimeTime's held up on his other. Nothing should've been pulled in the first place.

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

Washington leading up to this game was coming off of two gutpunch losses- a final play walk off Elway hailmary in Denver and an endzone INT in the dying seconds at Tampa Bay. Given what the Redskins had dealt with leading up to this game, heck of a job to get past those losses considering whom they faced. Coming off two brutal final minute losses and having to face the mighty Cowboys? That's usually a recipe for disaster. Props to them for putting those 2 losses in the rearview mirror

[@cameronwhite2027]

As a Broncos fan, I remember that game very well. The Hail Mary was actually the great Rod Smith’s first ever catch!

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

Damn, Scott Zolak was not a terrible backup QB...

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

The Giants and the 49ers should've kept those unis.

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

The 1995 Redskins were much better than their record indicated. Famously swept Dallas and also lost some tough games that could have gone either way: 2 close games with the Eagles (14-7, 37-34) An Elway hailmary in Denver to Rod Smith Arizona scored a winning TD with less than 2 minutes left Even with that, they had their moments- not just the sweep of Dallas, they also beat playoff-bound Detroit, and kept Carolina from being the only expansion team ever to not finish with a losing record.

[@jasonwalker9091]

Chris Kreager That Redskins and Carolina game was on Christmas Eve I remember watching it back and forth on the Sunday Ticket . Same time as the Broncos vs Raiders game.

[@evonnamann2251]

Damn i forgot all about those Skins upsetting the Cowboys that season

[@jasonwalker9091]

Evonna Mann they got swept twice by the Redskins 😁

[@911Gameover]

Marshall Faulk took over that game

[@indiansack5524]

20:05 - I'm pretty sure that Bono's 76-yard TD run was NOT the longest in the history of the NFL!!! #LOL

[@leifopstad2972]

It was at that time. Now it's been passed multiple times

[@leifopstad2972]

Check that: longest by a QB

Hey Tom can you put some up where Dallas wins you did do the Steelers one but I ain't seen no more

[@serge014]

The Cowboys were 0-2 when they wore their blue jerseys in 1995.

[@houtex90]

💯CLASSIC

[@gluserty]

That Tampa Bay passing game was especially prehistoric in 1995; I know later Tony Dungy got static for Tampa's offense, but no one before him could really direct a top-flight Buc O. More on the bend of sticking up for coaches: I feel this Chiefs team overachieved record-wise in the regular season. I mean, their offense had no punch, it was running back by committee (Marcus Allen was a real pro and Kimble Anders was a heck of a receiver out of the backfield; that's what qualifies as 1995 Chiefs excitement), and their placekicking was a problem (Lin Elliott was unreliable with Dallas, that's why they gave him the boot). I sort of like Steve Bono a little, but 56.3% completion percentage dinking and dunking (and Donovan McNabb got grief as an Eagle for his completion percentage)? Another thing: their defensive play wavered from one season to the next, and I don't believe it was ever actually dominant. Add that up, and it makes sense they never won big. Anyway, I'm of the mind that the 1990 edition of the Chiefs was their best team (they had a couple dumb loses that inhibited them from winning the division; the AFC in 1990 was damn good that year if you ask me).

[@gluserty]

@JBSptfn Yeah, Bono's effectiveness really began to tail off towards the end of the the 1995 season, but he was still taking care of the ball, but then the playoff game against the Colts happened. To be fair, I agree with you that the Colts were better than their record and their defense that year was one of 1995's better defenses (fifth in points against, 7th in yards, and made many big plays, just like their offense did). I can't really say about what Rich Gannon could've given them: certainly down the line (like, the very next season and beyond), he turned out to be a far better quarterback (just got better and better too), but I think Marty Schottenheimer stuck with Bono through loyalty and strong early season play. In hindsight though, wow, Gannon over Bono in a runaway.

The " Revenge" game Chargers vs Steelers

I remember that one well. As a Charges fan, not a good memory!

[@jasonwalker9091]

And they didn't have Barry Foster on the Steelers.

Jacksonville wins there first game in franchise history and would upset Pittsburgh the following week

Man the SB of 1994 wouldve been much more competitive if Pittsburgh would have beaten SD in the AFC championship game

[@pp3k3jamail]

[@evonnamann2251]

@@pp3k3jamail couldn't have been much worse than what it was, Pittsburgh's D may have kept it closer

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Yeah it would've. Pittsburgh would've been physical with the 49ers. I think the cap cheating 49ers win, but it absolutely isn't a blowout like it ended up being with San Diego.

[@kimblandino]

I'm a Steelers fan and it really wouldn't have been much different. Nobody was getting Young and Rice off the field that day except themselves, after another TD.

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

Hell, if Miami had beaten San Diego, even the Dolphins might have made for something interesting.
