Philly and Detroit both were 10-6, but the Eagles got the tiebreaker in regards to who hosted this game because the Lions only home loss that year (7-1 at the Silverdome) was that Cardinals game when ARZ was coached by................. Buddy Ryan So indirectly, Buddy DID win a playoff game for Philly.
I have been a sports fan all my life and I have even played in sports. The biggest lesson I ever learned in all that is this: Trash talk is what you do *after* the game. Your opponent doesn’t need any more motivation to beat you.
you don't trash talk after the game either, teams will remember that and have extra motivation the next time they see you. My HS football coach had a saying: If you lose, say nothing, if you win, say even less.
As a Pats fan I agree but I also remember that Plaxico Burress predicted the Giants defense would hold the undefeated juggernaut 2007 Patriots' offense to 14 points in Super Bowl 42. The Pats averaged 37 points per game that season and has scored at least 20 in the previous 18 games that season. I remember a reporter telling Tom Brady that and he laughed "How many are we gonna score? 14? Okay." Final score: Giants 17, Patriots 14. The weirdest thing was that Burress was a WR and didn't play defense. He did catch the game-winning TD with 35 seconds left, though.
@THAT DUDE ROBO Could not agree more. If he really said that, the team General Manager should suspend him for the balance of the season, whether his 'fans' are too dense to comprehend or not.
No that was Damien woody and he said it on espn tv which caused a reaction and not a happy one from Scott Mitchell I mean you should never try to get people hurt cause end of day you are still teammates but it was more about how they felt about Scott can’t even recall who was the lions backup QB back then?
When it happened, pretty much everyone understood how dumb it was. It was stupid and cheap, and a great example of the Lions inability to grasp how playoff football works. It was good seeing them destroyed back then, and nice to be reminded again today. Good video.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about another big Eagles win that year over the eventual Super Bowl Champions Dallas Cowboys.
I’m from Michigan about 90 miles or so from Detroit, and was a member of the local Boys & Girls Club chapter in my area at 14. They used to put on (not sure if they still do or not) these once annual awards called the Steak and Burger Dinner, and there would always be some celebrity there, usually from the world of sports, and one year, the special guest was Lomas Brown himself. As more of a baseball fan though, I went to a dinner like that at the Club in a different year when George “Sparky” Anderson, manager of the Detroit Tigers was the special guest. I always really admired him for diving in head first in ’84 and taking them to the pronised land of the World Championship-I’m pretty sure he can be heard around the state of Michigan rolling in his grave at the missed opportunities of 2006 and 2012.
I remember this game, but not what Brown said. I don't know what he was thinking about, especially considering this was a playoff game. The Eagles were already motivated by being in a win-or-go-home situation, but Brown's ill-advised guarantee added fuel to their fire. Thank goodness he didn't make a similar error during the 2002 Buccaneers' playoff run.
Besides being known as a talker, I think Brown's confidence came from that offense. It was one of the best in the NFL: with two 1K+ yard receivers (and a third that was close) and Barry in the backfield. They had one of the best special team groups in the league, as well: Jason Hanson at K, and All-Pro returner Mel Gray, and solid coverage teams. And they had playmakers on D: Chris Speilman, Robert Porcher, Henry Thomas, Bennie Blades and Ray Crockett. To top it off, the Eagles were more scrappy than talented. With the strength of the team being their corners on defense (Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, and nickel Al Harris' rookie year) and their backfield on offense: the 1-2 punch of Ricky Watters and Charlie Garner, along with roadgrating FB's clearing holes for 'em (Kevin Turner and Cecil Martin).
You should do a video about how the Lions were one dropped pass by Yancy Thigpen of the Steelers in Week 17 from winning the division and hosting a playoff game.
Yancey Thigpen will never have to buy a drink in Green Bay for the rest of his life, assuming he would ever return. That drop in the end zone was the greatest x-mas gift in Packer history. Think about how the history of the NFL had changed that year. The Lions would've hosted the Falcons, beat them soundly, then moved on to play the 49ers. The Packers would've had to travel to Philly. Assuming the Packers lose that game, they would not have upset the 49ers and play the Cowboys in the NFC title game. The Packers were 10 minutes from the Super Bowl that season. Going into 1996, who knows how confident that Packer team remains. Who knows if Favre would've checked into rehab that offseason. Who knows if the Lions would've beaten the 49ers and/or Cowboys to shake things up. Crazy how one play can alter a season and multiple team's futures.
I'll never forget that play as long as I live. Thigpen couldn't have been any more wide open in the end zone. A 3rd grader could have caught that pass. The Lions should have had the division that year. Wouldn't surprise me if someone in Green Bay handed out some money to Thigpen for that. Still makes me sick as a Lion fan, all these years later.
This is the game that had me finally jump off the Lions bandwagon. Specifically it was when we were down 51-7 at the half. For 27 years, I watched with mixed emotions as my friends went through more decades of torture… Until midway through this year, when my heart told me it was time to “go home”…for better or for worse.
I’m proud, as a lifelong Michigander no less, to say I was never on the bandwagon. Also, gotta call you out, as it was 38-7 at the half, 51-7 by around midway through the 3rd quarter. Methinks someone commented and did not press “Play”.
@@a.grimes4202 I watched the whole video, and the Lions whole show for nearly twenty years. But yes, I commented while watching, and realized my 27-year-old pixelized memory was off on the timing of 51-7.
Likes the video but you could have spent some time on the flip side of the coin. The ‘95 eagles were considered the worst 10-6 team in history and were out scored by a pretty big margin during the season. They were considered a team held together by duct tape and bubble gum and after Cunningham was benched for Peete, they won games by the skin of their teeth. They signed dudes of the street, one back up DL was working at a liquor store when the season started. Their TEs were Reggie and Jimmy Johnson, and the pass catching one, Reggie, could not catch. Rhodes got them to the playoffs that year with Rickey Watters and Charlie Garner’s running and fire and brimstone speeches about being disrespected. That’s why Brown’s comments lit such a fire. He doesn’t say that, the Eagles don’t win the game. They get out talented. But he played into Rhodes’ hands. And the Rhodes quotes you had in the video were relatively tame for Rhodes’ motivational speeches; although his other quotes would probably get the video demonetized. It was a perfect storm.
Whenever you have the urge to make a guarantee in competition, stop, think for a few seconds, and do literally anything else. There is no upside to making guarantees.
This is very similar to when the entire national team of Trinidad & Tobago basically said in a nationally televised press conference that they would beat the US easily & qualify for the 1990 World Cup. At the time Trinidad was 2nd in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying & in prime position to qualify for the World Cup. I should point out that World Cup qualifying in CONCACAF for the 1990 World Cup did not feature powerhouse Mexico as they were banned from competing due to fielding overage players in a youth tournament in 1987. All Trinidad needed was a draw & they would be in. Meanwhile the USMNT was in 3rd & needed to win to have any hope of qualifying. In a game that revived American soccer, the USMNT pulled off the win 1-0 & qualified for the World Cup while Trinidad was eliminated. It wouldn't be until 2006 that Trinidad & Tobago qualified for the World Cup & becoming the smallest nation both in terms of population & land size to do so (though this record could be broken in 2026 thanks to the expansion to 48 teams).
14:47-15:13 Is this what y'all came for? First thing I remember about Lomas Brown is that he was a starting offensive tackle on the losing side of Super Bowl XXXV! 🙂 Also reminded that nighttime Eagles home games in the 1990s looked as if they were played in a black hole.
The Lions' 37 points that day was one of the most ever scored by a losing team in a playoff game. (The Lions *still* hold the record for the fewest points *allowed* in a playoff loss in a 5-0 defeat to Dallas, way back in 1970!)
I love this channel. It's like reliving every shitty Lions nightmare moment (to which there are many), and just reminds me how useless the Lions are and will always be.
@@aceassn716 All 5 players on the Lions O line sucked. If they didn't, then Barry Sanders would be the all-time leading rusher instead of sitting at #4 right now.
After the game was over and the teams were walking off the field, soon to be free agent Lomas was asking Eagles coaches and players not to forget him when the Free Agency period started.
When I think of Lomas, I think of Sundays him and Dan calling Lions games. He does a great job, the only way you could say anything negative is if you grew up with Dan and Brandy and just don't like change.
When I think of Lomas Brown I think of that time that he got hit in the eye with a flag and shoved the ref. And then I remember that that wasn't Lomas Brown, it was Orlando Brown, at a time when the Browns had 2 different offensive tackles named Brown.
Philadelphia's reward for that win--an all-expenses-paid trip to Dallas for the divisional round, where the Cowboys beat them 30-11 (the Cowboys won their third Super Bowl in 4 years at Super Bowl XXX that year)...
We didn't see the game, we were vacationing in Disney World that day and my Dad and I saw the score and we thought the Sixers and Pistons were playing, until we saw the highlights.
When you are the road team in the playoffs, all bets are off. That being said, this was the most "Detroit Lions" moment in Detroit Lions history. This particular Philadelphia Eagles team was a fraud. They were a Helter Skelter unit that usually won unconvincingly while getting their butts kicked when they lost. They were statistically one of the worst 10-6 teams in NFL history. The Lions had every reason to be confident and their subsequent performance was absolutely inexplicable. It marked the beginning of the end for Wayne Fontes. FYI the Eagles were routed in Dallas the following week.
33.6 scott mitchell's qb rating that game. four picks in first half. lions were down 38-7 at the half. 6 picks total for lion qbs. meanwhile former lion qb peete had a 143.3 qb rating that game. lions were doomed once they signed this bum to that big contract. i blame dan marino. If marino doesn't blow out his achillies in '93 and mitchell looks like an all pro in a few games of relief mitchell never sees that deal. lions should have just re-signed erik kramer. his torching of jimmy's boys in that playoff game and wandstatt's d led bears to sign kramer. and that is so lion-like. captain wayne-0 fontes could get the lions fired up and were a tough out once the calander got to mid nov and went from 3-6 to a seven game win streak to end season. but as a game planning coach for the playoffs fontes was weak.
I really feel for Lions fans and the other players on that team. It sounds like they had a good team that was capable of making a playoff run, and then those stupid comments went and ruined it for them by firing up the other team. Obviously will never know if the Lions would’ve actually won that game without the guarantee, but it probably would’ve been more competitive.
Joe Namath seems to have a concrete point. I only tested his or this theory a few times, but it seems like whoever has the most leaders (like in TDs, FGs, interceptions, sacks, tackles, receptions) that side will win the Super Bowl. I tested this theory for Super Bowl XXIV which had already been played and the NFC had more leaders. I tried it before the Eagles won their Super Bowl, and the NFC had more leaders.
I know both teams finished 10-6 that year, and the Lions were considered the better team on paper, but if I'm the Lions, there is no way i would be guaranteeing a playoff road win at the Vet
The one thing I remember about this game was the Eagles fans chanting Lomas before the game was over. That and Scott Mitchell having another playoff meltdown. It’s sad that Barry Sanders was a part of all this. If he was with a better constructed roster he would probably have a couple of Super Bowl rings on his resume. It doesn’t take away from what he had achieved in his 8-year career.
The lions org dumped jim brandstatter who was an outstanding color commentator for Lomas brown, who provides no critique, no useful information, just praises everything.
you should do a video where the then dallas cowboy head coach calls in a radio station and guarantees a victory over the niners in the playoffs. players make guarantees quite often but this maybe the only time a coach has done so
Actually second. In 1992 Bruce Coslet guaranteed his Jets would beat the 49ers but alas they lost 31-14, LOL. Jets. a playoff team the year before at 8-8 (1991) and who would also finish at 8-8 in 1993 ended up at only 4-12 in 1992 (who remembers the great Browning Nagle) while the Niners went to the NFC title game and we're 14-2 in 1992.
An O-lineman can't do enough to guarantee anything. When you're not throwing the ball, your odds of being able to guarantee a game get lower and lower by position l9l
If there is a way to lose the lions can find it. If there’s a record that no team wants to have the lions will get it. Raise the leg and shoot the foot.
Is he still in the booth? I used to watch the Lions with the TV sound off and the radio on. But I’ve skipped watching or listening to Lions games the past few years. Love Dan Miller, though I worry he’s going to jump off a ledge one of these weeks. I remember several years ago Herman Moore was being honored at halftime. He stepped into the radio booth in the 2nd half, and gave more insight and better analysis in 5-10 minutes, than Lomas Brown did in any 5 week span. Drink every time Lomas says “momentum” or “pressure”. 😅
@@peacefrog0521 Yep, he still does that. Even though I'm in Pittsburgh, love listening to all the PBP guys on each team. Dan Miller is great, and you are dead on about the Lomas drinking game! 😂
@@Bobbanana6760 Funny you say that - I’m a transplanted Pittsburgher living in Metro Detroit 😀. I catch the Steelers when I can, and if they’re on the other channel I usually watch them over the Lions. I’m actually watching today’s Bears-Lions game with Dan & Lomas on, and actually it’s much better than I remember. (Looks like I picked a good week to actually watch the Lions 😁)
Brown might be the HOF if he had simply kept his mouth shut as a professional. I feel like now, despite all his accolades the only things people are going to remember him for is that time he put his foot in his mouth in 1995, and then the disgusting comments he made regarding his lack of support for his QB Scott Mitchell.
Lomas Brown finished his career with a Super Bowl ring with the Bucs, but his guaranteed win that backfired against the Eagles will keep him out of Canton.
Are you sure it was this guarantee that kept him out of the Hall of Fame and not the fact that his own Hall of Fame running back holds the career record for negative yardage to this day?
@@dionr1168 Outside of Brown, the Lions had horrible offensive linemen for many years, and Sanders could've been the second-leading rusher in NFL history if it wasn't for the negative yardage losses.
@@mrmonty86 Plus they had no long term solution for QB so often times teams will gear up against Sanders. Even Herman Moore wasn't enough to save their passing game.
and yes, 58-37 was a Scorigami.
Philly and Detroit both were 10-6, but the Eagles got the tiebreaker in regards to who hosted this game because the Lions only home loss that year (7-1 at the Silverdome) was that Cardinals game when ARZ was coached by................. Buddy Ryan
So indirectly, Buddy DID win a playoff game for Philly.
Rodney Peete married Hollie Robinson, he won at life with that wife
Also the most underrated player in super tecmo bowl.

It’s like general John Sedgwick. He told his men “they can’t hit an elephant from here.” He got shot within the next five minutes and died

Juju Smith-Schuster talking about the Browns before that 2020 playoff game comes to mind as a Steelers fan. The Browns then proceeded to embarrass us.

Was at this game. Soon as we got into the vet Charlie Gardner was running in a TD. We all were screaming LOMAS LOMAS LOMAS

Lomas once said “he would miss a block on purpose in the hope that Scott Mitchell would get injured.”
Doesn't surprise me- Brown was basically a ghetto dummy who couldn't get past 6th grade.
he's a scumbag for doing that
@THAT DUDE ROBO Could not agree more. If he really said that, the team General Manager should suspend him for the balance of the season, whether his 'fans' are too dense to comprehend or not.
No that was Damien woody and he said it on espn tv which caused a reaction and not a happy one from Scott Mitchell I mean you should never try to get people hurt cause end of day you are still teammates but it was more about how they felt about Scott can’t even recall who was the lions backup QB back then?
That's not good.
I prefer to remember the Thumbs Up speech Lomas gave before the Thanksgiving game in 1991 to honor Mike Utley.
It wasn't before the game, but "We want the ball and we're gonna score!" will live on in infamy for the rest of time eternal.
Lol ah yes I remember this. Good ol Rodney pete beating his former team the lions by about 4000 points
Eagles Head Coach Ray Rhodes said after the victory that the only things guaranteed in life are "death and taxes."
And the Lions watching the Super Bowl from their homes... with the rest of us
When it happened, pretty much everyone understood how dumb it was. It was stupid and cheap, and a great example of the Lions inability to grasp how playoff football works. It was good seeing them destroyed back then, and nice to be reminded again today. Good video.
Oh yeah, I remember this game like it was yesterday.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about another big Eagles win that year over the eventual Super Bowl Champions Dallas Cowboys.

To pharaphrase clint Eastwood in tht film the rookie, and I quote
"you want a guarantee, buy a toaster"

Please do a video on Eagles Court someday. It's a great part of Eagles history and a true off occurrence in US sports in general.
Ah yes the Lomas Brown bowl. Loved that game
I remember watching this game and not being able to turn my head for a second. One of the craziest games I've ever watched.
“You had players on the Atlanta Falcons guaranteeing a victory against the San Francisco 49ers in 1990.” Enough said.
Jerry Glanville effect.
Also bringing their "California Champions" trophy to Candlestick in 1992, which was even more pathetic. Falcons of course got blown out.
"Loooooooomas. Loooooooomas. Loooooooomas."
Lions have one playoff win since 1957

To be fair he never had his teams back ever in his career.
Don Majkowski replaced Scott Mitchell and threw 3 TD's.

Never make a guarantee that you will win, especially when you’re the road team!

Good content as always. Can't wait until you work on your audio output to smooth out the highs and lows.

Guarantees may have worked for Joe Namath but not for Lomas Brown unfortunately.
Don't forget about Plaxico's guarantee, which worked out, fortunately.
The Eagles have usually gotten easy playoff games then get exposed later as in this year
Philadelphia's reward for that win--an all-expenses-paid trip to Dallas for the divisional round, where the Cowboys beat them 30-11 (the Cowboys won their third Super Bowl in 4 years at Super Bowl XXX that year)...
We didn't see the game, we were vacationing in Disney World that day and my Dad and I saw the score and we thought the Sixers and Pistons were playing, until we saw the highlights.
I was in high school in 95, big Lions fan. I skipped a ski trip with friends to watch this disaster...
When you are the road team in the playoffs, all bets are off. That being said, this was the most "Detroit Lions" moment in Detroit Lions history.
This particular Philadelphia Eagles team was a fraud. They were a Helter Skelter unit that usually won unconvincingly while getting their butts kicked when they lost. They were statistically one of the worst 10-6 teams in NFL history. The Lions had every reason to be confident and their subsequent performance was absolutely inexplicable. It marked the beginning of the end for Wayne Fontes.
FYI the Eagles were routed in Dallas the following week.
33.6 scott mitchell's qb rating that game. four picks in first half. lions were down 38-7 at the half. 6 picks total for lion qbs. meanwhile former lion qb peete had a 143.3 qb rating that game. lions were doomed once they signed this bum to that big contract. i blame dan marino. If marino doesn't blow out his achillies in '93 and mitchell looks like an all pro in a few games of relief mitchell never sees that deal. lions should have just re-signed erik kramer. his torching of jimmy's boys in that playoff game and wandstatt's d led bears to sign kramer. and that is so lion-like. captain wayne-0 fontes could get the lions fired up and were a tough out once the calander got to mid nov and went from 3-6 to a seven game win streak to end season. but as a game planning coach for the playoffs fontes was weak.
I really feel for Lions fans and the other players on that team. It sounds like they had a good team that was capable of making a playoff run, and then those stupid comments went and ruined it for them by firing up the other team. Obviously will never know if the Lions would’ve actually won that game without the guarantee, but it probably would’ve been more competitive.
Poor Barry Sanders didn't deserve that.
Not often you score 37 pts and lose
while a true statement, 30 of those points came after the game was, essentially decided. Philly had pulled their starters and were playing prevent D
Also tru
I watched this game. After all the endless hype over how Barry Sanders was the greatest running back ever.......it turned into a laugh riot.
"WHICH IS WORSE THAN IF YOU DID NOTHING BUT SPIKE THE BALL INTO THE GROUND ON EVERY SINGLE PLAY!!!!!!"
Jaguar Gator's catchphrase
15:08 for my favourite QB stat line from our host 👍
Joe Namath seems to have a concrete point.
I only tested his or this theory a few times, but it seems like whoever has the most leaders (like in TDs, FGs, interceptions, sacks, tackles, receptions) that side will win the Super Bowl.
I tested this theory for Super Bowl XXIV which had already been played and the NFC had more leaders.
I tried it before the Eagles won their Super Bowl, and the NFC had more leaders.
Bro thinks he’s Joe Namath 💀
I know both teams finished 10-6 that year, and the Lions were considered the better team on paper, but if I'm the Lions, there is no way i would be guaranteeing a playoff road win at the Vet
The one thing I remember about this game was the Eagles fans chanting Lomas before the game was over. That and Scott Mitchell having another playoff meltdown. It’s sad that Barry Sanders was a part of all this. If he was with a better constructed roster he would probably have a couple of Super Bowl rings on his resume. It doesn’t take away from what he had achieved in his 8-year career.
That 95 team was close or even better than the 91 Lions team
*L*omASS Brown
This is not even close to the biggest upset in American sports history. Off the top of my head, Andy Ruiz and buster Douglas say hello.
Holly Holm exposing rhonda rousey comes to mind
Hmm! 1980 US Hockey team over Russia begs to differ.
@@KWCline91 HA! Great one man, yea no kidding.
The lions org dumped jim brandstatter who was an outstanding color commentator for Lomas brown, who provides no critique, no useful information, just praises everything.
I surprised the eagles beat lions in the wild card Detroit was on a nice winning streak the eagles was a up & down team
Will Detroit ever win a playoffs game again I say one day
They only have one playoff win over the last 65 years.
either this or next year
No. No matter how good they look.
@@doughy_ I doubt it.
@@bw-leftturnracing7779 When do the Lions ever look good? 1991 is probably the only season in the Super Bowl era that the Lions were actually good.
you should do a video where the then dallas cowboy head coach calls in a radio station and guarantees a victory over the niners in the playoffs. players make guarantees quite often but this maybe the only time a coach has done so
Actually second. In 1992 Bruce Coslet guaranteed his Jets would beat the 49ers but alas they lost 31-14, LOL. Jets. a playoff team the year before at 8-8 (1991) and who would also finish at 8-8 in 1993 ended up at only 4-12 in 1992 (who remembers the great Browning Nagle) while the Niners went to the NFC title game and we're 14-2 in 1992.
WE WILL WIN THE BALLGAME
Jimmy Johnson knew his team was ready
Print that in 3inch bold letters
An O-lineman can't do enough to guarantee anything. When you're not throwing the ball, your odds of being able to guarantee a game get lower and lower by position l9l
If the 49ers don't blow a 20-point lead to the Lions in 1957, how much longer is Detriot's losing streak in road playoff games?
1952
I think the lions even had an opportunity to win the nfc central in week 17 if they win and if the packers lost to the steelers.
One dropped TD pass by pittsburgh at Green Bay prevented the Lions from winning the division.
Namath did an amazing job of holding the Colts to 7 points after his guarantee. He was everywhere on defense.
Then the very next week the Eagles went out and got their ass kicked by the Cowboys in the divisional round.
If there is a way to lose the lions can find it. If there’s a record that no team wants to have the lions will get it. Raise the leg and shoot the foot.
I guess this bragging and bad predicting is what Lions radio network wanted, as hes the Lions radio color commentator
Is he still in the booth? I used to watch the Lions with the TV sound off and the radio on. But I’ve skipped watching or listening to Lions games the past few years. Love Dan Miller, though I worry he’s going to jump off a ledge one of these weeks.
I remember several years ago Herman Moore was being honored at halftime. He stepped into the radio booth in the 2nd half, and gave more insight and better analysis in 5-10 minutes, than Lomas Brown did in any 5 week span.
Drink every time Lomas says “momentum” or “pressure”. 😅
@@peacefrog0521 Yep, he still does that. Even though I'm in Pittsburgh, love listening to all the PBP guys on each team. Dan Miller is great, and you are dead on about the Lomas drinking game! 😂
@@Bobbanana6760 Funny you say that - I’m a transplanted Pittsburgher living in Metro Detroit 😀. I catch the Steelers when I can, and if they’re on the other channel I usually watch them over the Lions.
I’m actually watching today’s Bears-Lions game with Dan & Lomas on, and actually it’s much better than I remember. (Looks like I picked a good week to actually watch the Lions 😁)
Goddamn it of course it’s the Lions
Eagles sat their starters it was like 51-7 when they started pulling them, so all those lions points, were garbage time.
Brown might be the HOF if he had simply kept his mouth shut as a professional. I feel like now, despite all his accolades the only things people are going to remember him for is that time he put his foot in his mouth in 1995, and then the disgusting comments he made regarding his lack of support for his QB Scott Mitchell.
For who?!
For what?!
Ricky Watters
Anyone?? Anyone??
Misleading score, I think the Lions scored 16 points in the last two minutes to make it look closer.
Theory has says the Super Bowl three was a fix game. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
I remember well
33-0
Lomas Brown finished his career with a Super Bowl ring with the Bucs, but his guaranteed win that backfired against the Eagles will keep him out of Canton.
Are you sure it was this guarantee that kept him out of the Hall of Fame and not the fact that his own Hall of Fame running back holds the career record for negative yardage to this day?
@@dionr1168 Outside of Brown, the Lions had horrible offensive linemen for many years, and Sanders could've been the second-leading rusher in NFL history if it wasn't for the negative yardage losses.
Kevin Glover was legit
@@mrmonty86 Plus they had no long term solution for QB so often times teams will gear up against Sanders. Even Herman Moore wasn't enough to save their passing game.
