He didn’t need Howard Griffith, TD was already first team all pro in 1996 without him. They should’ve won Super Bowl that year if coach used him correctly against Jacksonville.
Arguably the greatest RB season in NFL history if you also take into account team success as far as the Broncos going on to win the SB. From 96-98 there was only 1 RB that was better, and that was Barry.
Shannon Sharpe said on TD's Football Life that had Shanahan not pulled him in the 2nd halves of games so much because they ran up such huge leads (understandable), he would've passed Eric Dickerson.
Always underrated and somewhat forgotten sadly; he was the best back in the NFL in the late 90s; better than Smith, better than Sanders. Only Riggins compared with him in the playoffs
@@lucashenderson2775 Absolute facts! The Broncos during their back to back championship runs commonly built up a lead that the regulars were often pulled before the 4th quarters. TD's stats are obscured by the team's dominance during their championship runs.
2:02 shannon sharpe is an underrated blocker, it may look like he just fell over but his fall allowed that tackle to move up field and block a safety which really broke the play open.
Greatest season for a running back ever. His total running yardage including the playoffs is a nfl record. Cap that off with a nfl mvp and Super Bowl winner. I forgot to mention, the second player on that list is also Terrell Davis in 1997. 2,476-1998. 2,331-1997. Super Bowl mvp in 1997. He’s literally in the hall of fame because of those two years.
This was the team that I truly felt would go undefeated. They just beat KC and any challenge was over. Betting-wise you expect a letdown against the Giants after a huge divisional victory (the point spread was over 10 if I recall). However, to lose outright was stunning.
TD may go down as the greatest pitch, zone blocking scheme running back in history. His innate ability to read the defense and make his 'cut' from 3+ yards from behind scrimmage was 2nd to none.
He was the best back in the league in the late 90s; better than Sanders and better than Smith. But he's largely forgotten due to injuries. In playoff football, only Riggins comes close
The only running back to have 21 touchdowns and 2,008 yards in a single season. No one comes close! And TD had 7 100+ rushing yards along side Emmitt Smith in a single game. Only Emmitt was in 17 playoff games to Terrell's 8. Terrell Davis is the second best rb in pro football history. Second only to Jim Brown in my opinion. 🏈 But TD accomplished much more than Jim Brown! In that regard, Jim Brown is a distant second to TD.
Think about that he was sat out for 8 quarters which is 2 games. He could easily beaten Eric Dickerson's season rushing record, but they kept him out. Sadly the next season the ACL tear that changed his career.
Davis was overworked. Shanahan would be running him in the 4th, ahead by 28 and 2:09 on the clock. His career would have lasted longer if not for bad coaching.
0:38-1:43 T.D. literally scored 2 long ass runs for a 2 touchdowns within 1 minutes and 45ish seconds in the 1st quarter game clock (not sure how much real time passed in real life though, you know like commercial breaks after touchdowns gimmick) in this video. Lmfao. Damn...and score another the same game, I think? If I saw that correctly.
Arguably the best o line of all time. They don't get mentioned with the greats, but they should. The zone blocking was on another level.
I mention it all the time. 🎉
T.D. was the best player in NFL, with one of the best Oline ever and a hell.of a lead Blocker with Howard Griffith....awesome teamwork.

Lucas Henderson he essentially only played 14 games because he missed 8 halves, so he rushed for 2k in 14 games in my mind

@@hardcorehouse absolute facts 💯
He missed 2 full games from getting sat. He could've shattered the all time record
Ah, you saw America's Game also. Great series!
He also would get benched half way through 3rd quaters, if Broncos were up by a ton. If he played every game the whole way would be maybe 2700 yards.
@@bohawg3843YAAAAHO !
Him and Jamal Anderson was amazing runners back then

I was at the game when he broke 2000🤘🤘🤘
Same here. It was awesome!
Can you imagine if you had him on your fantasy football team 🔥🔥🔥
So underrated always be missed from injurys
I refer any fan of TD to rewatch the game he had against the Cowboys at home. His performance was as dominate as any running back I have ever seen.
how the hell did he only have a 4.72 40. dude look so fast with pads on
Speed can be very deceptive. He really had great game speed.
Who else Miss Pat Summerall And John Madden...Those 2 Were A Complete Duo.. TD Was The Next Barry Sanders
This man's balance is unreal
Like Maurice Jones-Drew, expect with a higher center of gravity

Love the ending!!!
My favorite RB of all time.
RIP real football...
Made it look so easy
Made me luv football and sports from Detroit watching him

TD was the man!!!

Adrian Peterson always reminded me of Terrell Davis games are similar
Exactly what I think cause he can run people over and break their ankles exactly like AP
TD is far more finesse and has more speed
1:30 Deion Sanders was gaining ground on Davis.
Davis GOAT.

I miss those Broncos teams when we actually had a very good offensive line.
I saw Deion trailing TD on that long touchdown run lol
1:30 don't brother catching him Terrell Davis sees nothing in front of him but open field
I think he wore those Uniforms Better Than Any Other Bronco Besides Clinton Portis & Champ Bailey
The most balance complete RB n history I wanted to be him n Barry Sanders
TD the goat
John Madden wtf 1:05😂🤣
Classic madden, miss that dude
😂😂
