Lions Legends: Barry vs. Emmitt | One Night in Dallas 🎬 

Watching Emmitt and Barry its blatantly obvious who the better back was, and which back had the better team around him. It's not even debatable how much better, in terms of pure skill and ability, Barry was compared to Emmitt. Emmitt was a good back. But if you put Barry on that Cowboys team, he would've had video game like stats & set records that no one would ever come close to touching.

I remember watching this with my old man. After the Cowboys went up 7 zip in no time, he turned to me and said the Lions will shut them down the rest of the way and win this on a field goal. I've been looking for highlights of this game for years!

One of the biggest games of my life as a Lion fan ( 56 yrs old ) I remember Wayne Fontes saying the Lions were going to Dallas and show them what the Honolulu Blue and Silver is all about , this game was personal for Barry and the Lions , the media criticized Barry saying he doesn't follow his blockers and makes his first cut five yards behind the line of scrimmage whereas Emmit made his first cut five yards down field because of the great blocking, Lomas Brown said before the game in the locker room that Barry had a look in his eye he'd never seen before , I celebrated , I cried , I drank beer as that was a win for their character and toughness at the time , the Lions of the 90's were good enough to compete for a Superbowl but Washington, Dallas and San Francisco were to powerful in the NFC back then , I still have my Lions Starter jacket I bought in 1990

Thank you Sheila!

Man, watching this brings a tear to my eye. The 90s lions were so good and talented. It's a shame they only won 1 playoff game.

94monday night game is the best Lions game I ever saw..

I see shades of Barry in Gibbs, we are gonna be in for a treat for a long time

Looking forward to tomorrow night ! GO LIONS.

I watched this game in our barracks at Ft. Mcoy Wisconsin attending Advanced NCO school. We had to get up early the next day but l didn't care because the Lions were playing the Cowboys on MNF. Most of the guys started watching the game, but by the time it went into overtime there was just a couple of us left. After Hanson kicked that field goal to win it l hurried over to shut the tv off and hit the sack. I was so happy the next day l wasn't even tired.

I was living in Detroit until that year and remember watching that game on TV. It was amazing. Hoping for some of that this year and tomorrow night especially #onepride 🦁

This game will forever be etched in my mind. Watched at my buddies house which was full of Dallas fans. As soon as I saw them come out in those sweet ole uni’s I was like it’s gonna be a good night. I wanted this win sooooo bad 😅

I loved growing up watching this era of the Detroit Lions with Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Lomas Brown, Jason Hanson, Chris Spielman, and then some. Let’s get the win at Dallas this Saturday night. Let’s go!

Brings back awesome memories. It was a team effort and can't wait for the game tomorrow night. Go Lions!!!

Herman Moore and Barry Sanders were great for the Lions. Fantastic to see the Lions beat the Cowboys on the road. What a game!!!

Barry is the GOAT!!!

A very well done short doc, our social media team is by far best in the league

Watched this my junior year at Michigan State. My roomates and I, some cold beer, and Lions/Cowboys MNF. Good times.

Our Lions smell the blood all the way from Detroit. Lions will do it again today. 💯

lol damn thats a whole lot of yards by both backs.

Scott Mitchell had a strong arm I will give him credit for that. He wasn't very accurate with it a lot of the time, but he did good in this game. GO LIONS!!!

what a fine video! it's really special seeing the former players that were actually present talk about the game. It's a shame Scott Mitchell isn't there, i feel like he's a guy that deserves more recognition that he gets. regardless , I'm hoping for a Lions victory against Dallas this Saturday

BRING THOSE THROWBACK JERSEY'S BACK, PLEASE!!!

i think Dallas and Detroit are a big rivalry. There games are always Huge!

Let's go LIONS!!!!! 🦁🦁🦁🦁 I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW

This just pumped me up so damn good for the game tonight. Let’s go Lions ! FTC

I absolutely love Dan Miller as the lions PBP, but nobody called Barry runs better than Mark Champion

One of the best games i have ever seen as a Lions fan !!

😱 dredging up the old rivalry, DET has to win this one in front of the whole country in honor of what the whole country knows to be true. Barry would’ve smoked Emmits records EASILY if he kept playing.

We love you lions

thank you detroit lions not only for a great season of football, but a great season of content on youtube. you have the best nfl team yotuube of the league! #letsgolions #history

Im a die hard Dallas Cowboys Fan... But I'm be honest I'll always say & will continue say Barry Sanders was & will always be the best running back there was & hands down greatest back

Who else misses Jason Hanson?

Barry 🐐 Detroit Vs Everybody

Wow, What history!!!!Love those guys!! Let’s go LIONS

I wish we'd have NFL Sunday Tickets back then, I would watch every Lions game.

Let’s go LIONS!

Jason Hanson 🐐 sighting!

I was a junior in high school at my buddies house watching this game! The throwback uniforms in all!

Can't hate Barry Sanders... Every carry he treated like his life depended on it.

🐐 #20

Thank you Barry!

I definitely remember that Monday night game!!!

Excellent production. Keep it up!

Say it together with me guys, “Cowboys Suck!” Detroit vs Everybody

That was kick ass. Barry is undoubtedly the best ever. Anyone that can't see that is blind. He's like the babe ruth/Michael Jordan of football. His moves were like something we've neve seen before or since. Simple as that

Love This… We Will Beat, The Dallas Cowboys, Tonight….💯 #OnePride✊🏾🦁💙

First time we saw the throwbacks. Awesome to see and hear from Mark Champion in this video ❤

I'll never forget that game! They made the playoffs that year as a wild card team, and I believe they lost on New Years Day 1995 to Philadelphia 58-37 when their former QB Rodney Peete had a career day and beat them. It was 51-7 at one point in that game! In the meantime, Dallas went on to win the Super Bowl that year. Oh well. Maybe this year the Lions can beat the Cowboys twice once in the regular season and again in the playoffs, and maybe, just maybe if we drink enough Kool-Aide they can win their first Super Bowl! Go Lions!

🎶 in the jungle the mighty jungle the Lions play tonight 🎵

What a time to watch football 🏈

If only they played with this motivation every week. This team should have won a Super Bowl.

I miss Bennie Blades in the safety, no one has played safety like that for the Lions since! 🦁

Barry was another class above Emmitt. Don't get me wrong Emmitt was a great back, but his O-line was a monster O-line hands down.

Herman was very underrated and had we had a competent front office that team would have became great 🦁💙

The man, the myth, and legend Barry Sanders.. .

Is this gonna be a fight til the death?

Legend has it that ball is still spinning.

Give Barry their Oline and NOBODY would break his records for all of mankind.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. My favorite Lion game of all time. Always wanted to rewatch. Loved this!

I still have that game on VHS!

I rememebr watching this on TV! This is s great video as it showcases two of the best backs to ever play the game. We dont see games like this in the NFL much anymore. As a Lions fan i loved this team. Barry, Lomas, Herman, Jason, Morton, Blades. So many great players. I've only been to a handful of Lions games in my lifetime, but I was at the game when Barry broke 2k and willed the Lions into the payoffs that year. I'll never see a better player in my lifetime.

One of my favorite games I ever watched!

the lions had a lot of talent that year, get ready for another win tonight boys

history repeats itself tomorrow

I watch that game listen to Madden talk Emmitt Smith up they don't talk about how Emmett fumbled the ball in Madden lost his mind even though Barry had gone twice as many carries they also don't highlight Cowboys had first and goal ran the ball all four times only to run into Spielman

during the fight, there is no place for feelings, no regret or joy, no emotions. there is fear and willpower, a thirst for victory. The weak will retreat, the winner will stay!

Excellent Production 👍👍

Incredible game to watch.

Hanson needs his own Ep.

Where can I buy a Blades jersey, I never knew this legend and I feel like I’m disrespecting him for not knowing him

Greatest Old School helmets and jersey

I’m feel grateful to see Barry Sanders, at silver dome. 2 times

Great viedo🎉🎉

Jason Hanson needs a gold jacket

Let's see if we can conjure up lightening hitting in the same place twice. #GoLions #DetroitVsEverybody

I remember that game to this day.

Show this to the team. Hopefully it will inspire 🙏

This video is dope as hell, the Lions' video productions has improved so much in the last few years. Can't Wait for MNF Question to older Lions fans: Looking back at that these 90s Lions squads why didn't they get over the hump and win a SB? Was it Fontes' style of coaching? Was it not having a true franchise QB to take pressure off Barry? was it the Run and Shoot? What held these teams backs. #OnePride

Maniac EAGLES fan here. Yes, we booed Santa Claus. Yes, we threw iceballs at refs AND Jimmy Johnson. PLEASE BEAT DALLAS TONIGHT!! PLEASE?? PLEASE!!

LFG Lions!

It would have been nice to see Barry and Emmitt switch teams and see how things would go

Are you kidding me?? They had Jason Hanson back then??? Dammnn

Best video team in the NFL

Emmitt always chased Barry.

As a 33 year old fan this is the only and I mean ONLY game I’ve ever been referred to to see a Lions playoff victory(the playoff one, not this game). I was three and have no memories of it. That stoops this year! THE PAST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRESENT

The first TD for both teams were in the end zone to #80. 3:25. 6:05.

You got this guys! This will be a tough game, but you beat the Chiefs and the Vikings! You can make this happen!! #OnePride

I have to apologize to Herman, I forgot how awesome he was!

Barry greatest running back ever. Unless 4th&1 on the one game on line. Then I want emmit

Wow never have I seen a bad game by Jason Hanson

Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time

As great as Barry was he was great, he just disappeared come playoff time. Barry only scored ONE TOUCHDOWN IN THE PLAYOFFS against Dallas in 1991. Compared that with Emmitt who has the most touchdowns in the playoffs for a running back tied with Thurman Thomas. Most rushing yards in the playoffs, most 100 yard games in the playoffs, and 3 Super Bowls. Dallas got it done with Troy Aikman at QB and Michael Irvin as receiver. The Lions had their one season in 1991 and when they had go to RFK, they got crushed and NEVER won at RFK against the Redskins. The window shut after 1991 and sadly Barry couldn't do anything in the playoffs compared with Emmitt.

No hot takes here...... just thankful that I was able to watch game.....

How long did Emmit play. How long did Barry play. If Barry played as many games he did, No one would ever come close. Even Emmit kind of said that!

When Detroit lions dominate the cowboys please call it a home invasion cause we kicking down the door roaring 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

I thought I seen a "one night in Dallas" video before but not football related...🤔

Now do October 27, 2013!!!!

Barry VS Emmitt probably not that important to Barry, just how he is

Lomis Brown . “That’s a big ass”

Is it me, or do Jason Hanson look like Ben Johnston.
