In the 90s Thanksgiving football was Barry Sanders/Herman Moore followed by Emmitt Smith/Michael Irvin/Deion Sanders. Didn’t even need a night game back then…
So true
And you know this.
And don't forget Troy Aikman
Exactly. Perfect day. Hoping the lions win and cowboys lose. 😂
Is it me or does anyone else miss that old Fox setup with graphics
jbob3 Yes. I don’t like what they have now.
@@djeanpierre yep war eagle
def. And if we're being honest, Summerall wasn't really a great sportscaster, but he and madden are my all time favorite. I liked the Monday night triple threat crew of that time too.
@@jasonr375 the espn sunday night crew of theismann McGwire and mike Patrick were good as well
@@toddmiller3640 definitely!
Watching Barry on turkey day in the 90s was a treat.
One of my favorite Thanksgiving games of all time! Sanders, Moore, Madden, Summerall and family memories watching the Lions 🦁💙
There will never be another Barry sanders
Wyatt Tverstol crack is wack bro quit that shit lmao
EVER.
Harry Engel the closest we’ve seen since Barry has left is Lesean McCoy’s jukes but even he comes nowhere near Barry’s moves.
Once in a lifetime player
Never another bo.......
Barry Sanders, one of the all-time greatest running backs in the history of the NFL
Agreed. Him, Emmett Smith, and Walter Payton are the three greatest that ever were
Sanders was the best rb. If he didn’t abruptly retire he woulda smashed the rushing record and put it outta reach.
@@Nasdupree9090 Or if he had a better offensive line, like the Cowboys' when Smith was RB
Carmack Sanderson smith was overrated in my opinion. Sanders passed the eye test running plus had the paper stats too. He looked better on the field and in the stat box, just look at the numbers they don’t lie, he woulda crunched that rushing record before smith even sniffed it
Carmack Sanderson nah Barry didn’t follow blocks he was actually a guy that got his biggest runs when the blocking was the worst or he simply didn’t follow it
Jason Hanson one of the all time great kickers. 20 years with the lions
Mr. Automatic
20 years of disappointment
Oh my, I remember watching this game live at my grandparents house on Thanksgiving when I was 14. I remember these amazing plays by Barry Sanders but was always disappointed I could never find them on any of his highlight reels. SO STOKED this game was posted, it's confirming my memories.
Damn this hit me hard. I can remember being a 10 yr old at my grandpa’s house, the whole family eating the Thanksgiving meal and then watching football. Though I was a Cowboys fan, Barry was my favorite player. Every Thanksgiving I got to watch him and then my team after. Have a little family football game in the yard. That was true happiness for a kid like me. Side note, I wish Nike would re-release those Barry Sanders shoes. Couldn’t afford them when I was a kid but I’d buy 5 pairs now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Thank you for sharing the memory!
They released 2,053 pairs today. They sold like 250 pair at Ford Field and the rest online. Very limited release. 1 pair for each yard he had that season.
Matt Pawlowski yeah I find out about 5 hrs too late 😖. I hate when Nike does limited releases
I had a pair of those . I remember everyone saying are those the Barry Sanders ? Yep. Daaaaang! Had the Herman Moore's two. Barry's were the shizgnig though!
Best RB of all time. Would've had 20k rushing yards if he didnt retire early.
Bo Jackson I would take over him
@@ericsigersmith6067 No he wouldn’t have. All of you watch those same 5 highlights but compare his numbers to other elite runners during that era and you’ll see he wouldn’t have been near the top of the all time list
For sure
@@sbdftw1702 you must be fucking high.
@@retrorampage9015 don’t get butthurt, guy!
Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time
Real Ki-Adi-Mundi that can be argued
Harry Engel I don’t agree with some but you added Frank Gore and now im happy lol
Latino Savage Frank gore isn’t good. He’s just been in the league way too long. If Barry played the same amount of time as gore, he’d have the yards record and possibly the tds recorded
@Harry Engel same thing his own father said at his hof induction. I would agree.
no
You can watch an hour long highlight reel of Barry and then you watch this and it’s like well there’s 7 more laughter inducing moves he made in one game! I remember watching this game during one of the many wonderful thanksgivings we had.
I know life isn't fair, but it's definitely unfair that Barry Sanders didn't get to even appear in a Super Bowl.
I don't know if the Lions could have done it with him there another 5 years. Seems like they only made the playoffs once with him. They still haven't found the right group all these years afterwards either, including the winless year. Tough times but hey some of us are fans of crappy teams. Such is life.
@@DM7817 they did pretty good with Barry on the team. Won a playoff game and went to the nfc championship. Won the division and went to 5 playoff berths. If that had a better QB they probably would of won more. Mitchell wasnt very good.
@@danieljackson8265 - These are the amazing QBs that Barry Sanders played with: Rodney Peete, Bob Gagliano, Eric Hipple, Andre Ware, Erik Kramer, Scott Mitchell, Dave Krieg, Don Majkowski, Charlie Batch, Frank Reich. And some Detroit fans complained about Stafford....
That’s what ultimately drove Barry away from the game…Detroit not wanting to put add more pieces to the team which caused them to lose more than win. Such a shame because he was such an amazing player. I don’t think there will be another runner like Barry to ever play again.
@@danieljackson8265 very true. People forget that the 90s Lions were actually a damn good team. After there win vs Dallas in either 90 or 91 they couldn't get another playoff win. I think they had 1 more home playoff game in like 93 or 94. vs Green Bay but lost. They lost 2 the Eagles and Tampa as well. The weird part is they actually made the playoffs in 99 without Sanders n lost 2 Washington. The next year they just had 2 win there last game vs the Bears in Detroit in a win or go home but the lost by 3 with a FG as time expired.
Thank you very much and if anyone who's ever followed Pro football that has any damn sense knows that Barry Sanders is and still the greatest Pro football running back of all time.
Barry Sanders is a legendary runningback
a class act too-no staged celebrations like today-give the ball to the ref after yet another TD and thank his teammates and carry on!
Watching Barry was a joy. Unfortunately, I was young and didn't fully realize it was only once in a lifetime to see a player like this.
I remember watching this on a little 19” tube TV. Watching it now still brings the same joy. Wow! Barry is the best!
Barry Sanders is EASILY the best running back of all-time. It's not even up for debate either. Emmit Smith, Walter Peyton, OJ Simpson, Bo Jackson etc just bow down to GREATNESS.
I was at the game. The Sliverdome was rocking that day.
Good time, huh? 😭
I need a throwback barry sanders jersey
I think it says something that the thumbnail is just Barry.
@4:35 Quintessential BARRY right here.
Best running back of all time
Ability wise bo jackson still
Barry Sanders could make a 2 yard loss look spectacular. Greatest RB Ever!
If the Lions ever won anything, Herman Moore would be in the HOF conversation. Oh yeah...Barry = GOAT
NFL Throwback truly happy thanksgiving to you and wow Barry Sanders , what a player
Happy thanksgiving to you too!
Herman Moore was always an underrated WR.
I’m watching the bears lions game rn and I’m a bears fan
7:58- Nice block by Barry Sanders to give Scott Mitchell time to throw and find a wide open Johnnie Morton! 👍🏈
That team was a FORCE. Love watching old school Lions
This is why I laugh when people say “X” is the new Barry sanders 😂😂
I remember watching this live when I was 12. Barry went off! My family was so mad at me rooting for him due to us all being Eagles fans but at the end they were all Barry fans.
Sat front row in the end zone for 2 of Barry’s TD runs! Great game, great memory. Go Lions!
That was a putrid Bears squad and Barry in 1997 was nearly unstoppable.
@Tellestus 0 4-12, 28th and 29th ranked offense and defense.
Yep, Putrid.
Barry is the GOAT of running backs!
🦁🦁#20🦁🦁
Been so long I barely remember that the Bears were able to score 20 points in a half!
In the open field, Barry was darn near impossible to catch...and his football game speed was impeccable.
If you got to witness his greatness, you know what I mean.
Wow, I watched almost every Thanksgiving game when I was younger but didn't remember putting up 55!
On Bears field goal play - Madden: ‘look at this stance pat.’ …circles stance. 😂 and, ‘you can’t be embarrassed when you miss a tackle on Barry Sanders.’
Whats crazy is that the NFL has this exact game in beautiful HD.
Amazing video Thank you!! You guys are always showing love for the Detroit Lions always putting stuff up from Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson hell even putting up Matthew Stafford Spike game lol but Scott Mitchell had his moments that YEAR we had one hell of a good Offense that year and broke a few records that would be broken by the greatest show on Turf the 1999 Rams but still it shows you that our offense was pretty damn good that year too bad the defense couldn't show up sometimes I felt that it was Chris Spielman and Robert Porcher out there playing against 11 offensive players lol
Barry Sanders had the best 'vision' and the best moves of any...ANY running back....EVER!
Barry is a beast!!!!
Barry is the best Football player ever !
Imagine if he had a top front line.
I was at this game.
Heck yeah thanks for sharing!
WinzTroit always wins this in our algorithm!
4:27 mins in and finally a Berry highlight shows
There was nothing better than watching football with Madden and Summerall on Thanksgiving!
You know you're a legend when NFL Throwback doesn't put anybody else in the thumbnail.
Barry!
One word demonstrates what type of player he is . And that word is WOW!!!
I just love to watch Barry run. He was only 5 foot 8 inches tall but was powerfully built. He had great moves, speed, he was the best. That was his next to last year, he got over 2,000 yards rushing and was the MVP in the 1997 season. He had an amazing season and was an amazing running back.
90's football forever great games great players
I wish Fox Sports would go back to the FoxBox for the game score again. It was simple and unobtrusive to game play. Sometimes less is more.
Also, Pat Summerall never gets enough credit for how great of a play by play announcer he was. His play call was simple. He let the game do most of the talking. He understood it. Plus his partnership with Madden was legendary! There’ll never be a better duo in the booth
Pat and John are FOOTBALL ROYALTY to me!!! There's never been a better duo in all of team sports!
Damm Barry was great
Look at the little juke at 10:41, where Barry sneaks through the line. It would be like trying to tackle someone, who from a dead sprint, can do a two footed jump stop into some contra direction. Amazing
Barry Sanders ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving NFL Throwback
Happy thanksgiving!
Still, til this day his early retirement impacted me more than Jordan's first retirement. Those who know, Barry Sanders is the greatest rb to ever lace em up.
Ah, the Silverdome, the place that imploded twice. The playing turf hurts my eyes to total blindness.
people forget how good herman moore was
Im loving this
Barry Sanders had to be one of the most exciting players to watch, shame he was wasted on these Lions teams.
Those Lions teams were actually pretty good. This game alone is a example of the weapons on offense. Herman Moore was a five time pro bowler, Brett Perriman and Johnnie Morton was unrated. Second, they made the playoffs 5 out 10 years in the 90's.
Armondo Ortiz that might be true, but he was able to make the most of his ability here, he was, and is still loved here! And I just saw him yesterday, he still here!
And the narrative is lost. The Detroit Lions of the 90's had good teams. If people actually look them up you would see that. They made the playoffs five out 10 years.
Jovon Garrison making the playoffs doesn't mean much if you can't win a game! Oh yeah! They won one game against the cowboys! Ol' boy!
@@cascorick8253 That was one aspect of my statement. The actually main point was they were not the one man show nor were they're this horrible team then. If know your history, they ran up against they the redskins in nfc Champship game, the Packers twice and Buccaneers when the were the rise.
I watched Raymont Falls from the beginning. A fine play.
I remember this game.
The fact the Lions didnt run the ball on the goal in the 3rd quarter shows how garbage the franchise is
S.O.L.
@Harry Engel ...Only 10 carries for barry is ridiculous!
Bobby Ross admitted that he really didn't understand how to use Barry.
Harry Engel Wayne almost always pulled Barry off of the field on goalline situations. I think even Madden questioned the wisdom of that. Barry probably could have had 20 more TDs, easily.
Masked Savage Barry was not a tough runner or a power runner, he wasn’t a Goal Line back. He was a between-the-20s back. You clearly never watched the guy play. They would always put guys like Ron Rivers in when they were backed up inside their own 20 or in the red zone
I can't stop feeling high, I'll never come down!
Pat & John, good memories
Barry Sanders is the 🐐 at running back
That Thanksgiving was pretty nondescript football wise. Lions won this game going away and then the Oilers (yes, youngins, the Titans were once the Oilers) smoked Dallas, continuing the freefall that started with their blowout loss in Green Bay. But I'll always remember it as the Thursday after graduating from United States Marine Corps basic training in San Diego. To be home for Thanksgiving and then to get food from my mom, grandma and my girlfriend's family...that's as good as it gets. Football is great, but family is everything. To everyone out there, Happy Thanksgiving.
Love the story! Happy thanksgiving!
I’m 2/3 of the way into the video, and Barry has carried the ball one time. Don’t lie to me when it comes to Barry Sanders highlights man!
Goat
Happy Thanksgiving Throwback
Happy thanksgiving!
Barry Sanders my all time favourite player followed by Jerome Bettis and Erick Dickerson.
Where's tom Brady??
Finally original audio
Haha, I would change the headline to "Remember when the Lions were Fun?" Great game for Barry but he's only in like 2 minutes of the video. Love watching this old stuff, even as a Niners fan I enjoyed this era of the Lions.
So many memories of John Madden and the Turducken
I was just happy John Madden announced our game . #313 #humble
I wasn't old enough to watch Jim Brown or Gale Sayers but at least I got to see Barry's whole career.
I forgot Ricky Proehl was a Bear.
The Chicago bears and Detroit lions were doing really good in 1997
I got to watch Barry live in the 90's. He had the most yards for negative gains while still putting up unbelievable seasons and yds per carry avg. I thought Billy Sims was the greatest RB in Lions history until Barry came along. Billy was great. Injuries killed his career. But he was a worthy RB and could have gotten some records if he stayed healthy. But nobody compares to Barry. You can't compare Barry to a Jim Brown. What do you think Brown would do in today's NFL? Barry had tougher competition with a mediocre line. Well maybe a better than average line. But still, Barry performed miracles.
04:38-04:40...legend.
They gave him the ball on 3rd and 10! You'd NEVER SEE THAT TODAY! 😭
That was awesome
I love how the punts are filmed
6:01, 11:06 Wow 😲
B.S#20 and thanksgiving football go together better than anything else! Thxgiving and football not the same without the G.O.A.T! miss the good ol days!
That run at 6:00 is the nightmare fuel of 90's defenses when playing the Lions.
So fast yet agile, like a rabbit
Barry GOAT Sanders!
It's amazing - I don't just remember watching this game, I actually remember how I felt at certain spots. I specifically remember how angry I was at the FG after the big KO return. I thought that was it. I figured if the Lions couldn't get a TD on a spot like that, it just wasn't their day. Well, stay tuned...
The 🐐 #20
Barry went off, but 45 unanswered, WOW
Berry Gerry Sanders 🐐
Thanks for sharing this video. I hope the Lions have a half way decent day today, but not getting my hopes up. Rookie quarterback usually means disaster, but not always.
Man 🤦🏻♂️ makes me miss my grandmoms....makes me miss my pops...makes me miss my youth
Barry Sanders was the only back in history who could still get the ball handed to him in the 4th quarter of a game, 3rd down and long to-go, when the Lions needed to be in hurry up mode. He was as dangerous, and as sure to move the ball as any passing game.
Barry got the turkey during the game and after.
Damn Ricky Proehl was making plays with the bears too
Remember this game well
