A Mind-Blowing Comeback! (Lions vs. Cowboys 2011, Week 4) 

Kids today will never understand the greatness Megatron was. When you think of Detroit, you always think of losing. Megatron shined bright in a cloud of darkness of an organization.

Megatron is the only player ever who I can say I enjoyed watching abuse my favorite teams defense every time they played because he was so insanely good and fun to watch. He’s right up there with guys like Moss and Rice when you look at his peak 🐐

I'm a Lions fan who lives in TX, actually got to see this game. One of my favs!.

Thanks for the memories Megatron. What a beast. Absolute physical freak. No one has had his combination of size, speed, strength, hands, vertical leap, and route running. Impossible to cover. Arguably the most gifted receiver ever.

Still remember this game

Joe Buck was going through some things in his life then. He sounds more like Pat Summerall.

It took me so long to start consistently watching football that I’m upset I never got to see amazing games like these when I was definitely old enough to still get into them

I marvel at Tony Romo's inconsistent level of play considering he is practically omnipotent when on commentary.

Stafford to Megatron man...that was something else. Now Stafford to Kupp is this connection's spiritual successor, but it will never match up to this.

Romo!

11 Years Ago

Cowboys at their best up 24 let’s keep passing lmaoooo

10:40 no receiver does it better than Megatron!

Megatron was something else

MEGATRON#81 ..

Stafford’s game winning TD to Johnson resembles his game winning TD to Kupp in the Super Bowl.

I was 11 when I watched this game live, passed off at half time as my friend continuesly talked shit. I'm 24 now yet I remember so many tiny details about this game like the celebrations and a lot of plays. I must've obsessed about this game like I obsessed about the entire 2023-24 lions season

As a lions fan this was the game that gave me hope in stafford, also made me realize how holy Calvin was

Finally!!!! I’ve been waiting for this one for soooooooooooooooooooooooo long.

Either this team or the 2014 Lions was the best Stafford had to work with

Wow Calvin was something else

This was so crazy. I was watching redzone and cowboys totally blew this. After Romo had 2nd INT returned for TD i knew lions would comeback. When redzone showed 2nd INT return i thought it was showing the first TD again and then i said out loud "another one!?" Ome of the crazier comeback. And this was in Dallas!

I still say 2011 was my favorite year being a Lions fan. Don't get me wrong, 2014 was a hell of a year, but 2011, not only we were good, but Stafford was young, Megatron in his prime, Suh at his vicious... yeah, sky was the limit that year

Romo lookin Joe Flacco elite 😮

The catch on the front cover on this video is awesome, it reminds me of the Richard Rogers catch in 2015 against the lions (miracle in Motown)

Come on NFL Throwback why you doing my Cowboys like that lol

YO this is crazy, I was just thinking about how I wish you could possibly upload this exact one. I come to your channel and it’s here 😂😂😂🙌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽 Now I need the Raider one later this same year Edit: also the 2013 (? I think that was the year) Cowboys and Lions.

Tony Romo got bored of a blowout, he throw picks on purpose at 7:57 and 8:35. Those were horrible throws. LMAO

The Cowboys from 2011 to 2013 blew so many games like this. All the Cowboys had to do was win a game like this one and they didn't have to have to face a last winner take all game to decide the divsion which the blew as well. This was 100% choke that you saw from Jason Garrett, Romo, and the rest of the team. I mean later on that season against the Cardinals. Jason Garrett iced his own damn kicker by calling a time out which didn't need to be done. Still you can't f up games like this because for the Cowboys they were pros in the 2011 to 2013 season of f ing up games.

Miss those Reebok jerseys

Stafford threw it to a triple - teamed Calvin and it looked so easy , its scary lol

I love football love Lions football...actually I started watching football at 8 going on 9 years old watching college football...freshman Kirk Cousins at Michigan State...then back in 09 became a Lions fan when Matthew Stafford was a rookie....miss those days

The game that Jerry Jones check didn’t clear and the Lions won

Gotta love that Jason Garrett play calling of mostly passes in the second half with a big lead that let the Lions back into the game. If I remember correctly, before this game, Cowboys DC Ryan said Megatron would be the third best receiver on the Cowboys. The Megatron 329 yard game against Dallas was even better than this one.

MEGATRON was that kind of player my god

one of the many reasons why they took romo off the field and put him behind the cameras. even more hilarious whenever he points out missed plays and adds his advice to what should've happened 🤣

7:58-7:59 that play was waaaaaay to easy! You can tell the OLB read that to the bone and got the easiest pick of his career and made a pick six out of it

Laurent Robinson was a one year wonder after going to Jacksonville

What's with stopping the clock for a fifth down?

I remember being in 11th grade and being proud to be a lions fan outloud and annoy my classmates since they all liked the steelers niners and so on

Cowboys up big in second half and refuse to run the ball and chew clock. They blew so many games doing this sh*t. makes me sick

This game definitely didn't help Romo's reputation at all. Up 27-3 and he throws pick sixes on back to back drives to suddenly make it a game. 3 overall in the 2nd half, which matched Dallas' point total after their 1st drive of the 3rd quarter. Horrible stuff.

Wow Lions 3-0, Megatron and Stafford were great

6:43 Jason Hanson bites it 😂

Who would won, during a Jump ball, 3 defenders against 1 intended receiver, who won?

Only the cowgirls could blow a 24 second half lead TO THE LIONS!!! Two pick sixes back to back lol!!!

One of the greatest tragedies in NFL history is Calvin Johnson having his career wasted away on the Detroit Lions. Even the combined greatness of him and Matthew Stafford weren't enough to ever elevate that franchise beyond first round playoff exits.

What a fucking comeback! That was an awesome game!

Joe Buck back in the day was unlistenable 🤦‍♂️

When joe buck and Troy aikman forgot it was 4th down 14:43

The lions could of been great with the right coaching.

After the game Tony Romo was so upset of all the interceptions thrown, that he threw down his helmet, but it too was picked off and ran back for a touchdown.

I was at this game!

Romo was a great QB sad he couldn't do It in the playoffs

I only came here to watch Megatron.

Oof joe tf happened to your voice

and now the Lions are one game away from the Super Bowl

Let’s go

More Bengals games please

Buck is at his worst in this game. Christ his calls are bad.

The Cowboys' favorite thing to do is to find inventive, exciting ways to lose and still get more praise than the rest of the NFL combined.

Joe buck is so emotionless. Dudes entire commentary of this game was so robotic per usual

Can we please load packers vs Washington from 2007 before Sean Taylor passed away please ! Great game

The 2011 Lions had several comebacks in that 5-0 start and later on in the season to finish 10-6. They were finally a football team in Detroit with some fight, but unfortunately the NFC was very strong that season and they would've gotten beat no matter who they played in the playoffs. They weren't very disciplined either and that would characterize the rest of Schwartz's tenure in Detroit.

Dallas is no longer America's team the Lions will take. One pride

the hell was up with the last play?

That’s the thing about Tony, he could make some great passes but he threw too many picks and it was hard for the Cowboys to rise above mediocrity during his tenure. Same with the game where he threw for more than 500 yards, it ended with a pick when a successful drive could have given him the single game passing record. Maybe one of three interceptions in this game you could say his receiver didn’t help him but overall it’s the picks that kept him from a chance at the Hall of Fame.

This is why the Lions should have kept Matthew Stafford

Oh yeah this is definitely the same dude that threw 5 picks in a game the next year

I think this was the last year Joe Buck used his boring voice.

I watched this game with an obnoxious cowgirls fan. It was a glorious day.

Man romo definitely threw some bad picks

Just a awful awful awful game. Hate reliving this 😂👍

Titus young could’ve had a good career man, sad

11:52

amazing how dry buck is. No excitement at all.

As a Lions fan, watching this just reminded me of how AWFUL Chris Houston was for us. Definitely remember this game though! Good times!

A perfect example of a Romo game and microcosm of his career. He would look so good at times but blew it when it counted a lot of the time. I just remember always being SO FRUSTRATED WITH HIM.

Was Joe Buck on drugs for this broadcast? Literally no emotion, and seemed to have NO idea that final play was 4th down.

Wtf happened on the last play, bro just didn’t tackle him and he ended up stepping out of bounds 3 yards short

Even watching highlights from a game in 2011 makes me appreciate that Joe Buck is gone from FOX. At least a few weeks out of the NFL season we get the manningcast as an alternative over his monotone voice.

How many hof careers have both these teams wasted?? 😂

This joe buck?

Joe buck used to ruin games for me with that commentary Jesus

God Joe Buck is impossible to listen too

Megatron was way better than Dez Bryant

Is it just me or is joe buck easily the worst play by play guy ever? Like there were so many amazing plays in this game and he was just flat the entire time

This Cowboys team was so good lol 😂

Wow this might be Joe Buck's most boring and monotone commentary of all time. And that says a lot. See 7:58, 10:35

Didn't surprise me Dallas lost. Romo was such an overrated choke artist. like Aaron Fraudgers. 😂

Buck is awful

My god Joe Buck is awful in this game. Zero emotion or joy in his voice as Calvin Johnson is putting on a show.
