The Emmitt Smith Game! (Cowboys vs. Giants, 1993) | NFL Vault Highlights 

I miss these days.. This was real football! John Madden and Pat Summerall calling the game.. Pure Classic..

I remember this game like it was yesterday. I especially remember players having to help Smith up after each play in overtime. He carried the load with a separated shoulder. Dallas needed this win to lock up home field throughout the playoffs and #22 put the offense on his back. John Madden never visited locker rooms after games but on this day he went down and found Smith and told him this was the gutsiest performance he’d ever seen.

The good ol days of football! Madden and summerall is pure gold!

Wow... the players in this game! Aikman, Smith, Irvin, Haley, Taylor in HOF... Dan Reeves (coached in 4 Super Bowls), Jimmy Johnson (National Championship and 2 Super Bowls). Phil Simms in last regular season game. Howard Cross would play in Super Bowl XXV and XXXV. Armstead and Strahan (rookie this season but did not play in this game, eventual HOF) would lead Giants to playoffs in ‘97 and to Super Bowl XXXV. Strahan of course, would team with Eli Manning to win XLII. LT with last regular season sack in historic and legendary career. Moose, Novacek, McCaffrey, Meggett, Hampton, Jumbo... all pro bowlers. And of course, the legends of Pat Summerall and John Madden on CBS. Wow! Historic game.

I think this was the game that truly made me fall in love with Emmitt Smith and The Dallas Cowboys. I'll always remember this game where he gave everything he had literally with 1 arm!!!!!

If there's a game that can define one player, it's this one and Emmitt Smith. You could never question his desire and toughness.

Emmitt Smith showed he had the heart of a champion in this game!

I am 60years young now and those 90s cowboys was the best team ever put together. Offense and defense. I surely miss those days.

Barry had better moves and there were backs with more speed but Emmitt was as tough as they come, rarely fumbled, picked up blitzes, caught passes out of the backfield and was a warrior - someone you want to go to war with every week.

Emmitt Smith was one of the best but also the toughest RBs in the NFL !

I'm glad you put this highlights package up. It's one of Emmitt's signature games and one of his gutsiest performances.

What a great era for the NFL, the glory days of the NFC East.

This is my favorite Cowboys vs Giants rivalry game and Emmitt Smith did beat the Giants in their own game and I love it

That was one tough match up- I had forgotten how close that game was and Emmitt was clutch!

Pat Sumeral ( R.I.P.), probably the best Nfl broadcaster of all times. The good all days of NFL.

This bring back great memories!! Wish I could rewind my life til back then and start over

I miss Pat Summerall calling games 😭

Been watching alot of older nfl games and the intensity and atmosphere was crazy. No over officiating just grown men going at it

There will never be another duo as dynamic as Pat and John...The good old days are long gone...

There are points in the game when you can look at Emmitt and tell that he's hoping nobody hits his right shoulder. He still didn't shy away from contact, though.

I miss these days too. Was a tougher, run oriented game back then. That Dallas O-line was DOMINANT.

This is the game that solidified Emmitt Smith as not only my favorite Triplet, but also my favorite NFL Player of all time.

The two voices of my football youth. I will always cherish those times. Thanks for the reminder video.

GO COWBOYS !!!!! Emmitt Smith is a legend

I would go back to these days in a minute, Madden, Aikman, Emmitt, Ervin, old school football.

Nothing like listening to the duo of Pat Summerall & John Madden calling NFL Action

Any man tough enough to play his best game with a separated shoulder can drink from my canteen any day.

Emmitt played the entire second half and OT with a separated shoulder. Incredible

This was the day Emmitt Smith forever earned my respect as a Giants fan. One of the gutsiest performances I’ve ever seen.

Man...I still remember my uncle (who is 6’5) jumping up and hitting his head on the drop ceiling about 3 times in a row after the Giants recovered that muffed punt, while yelling in pure excitement. Whole house was going wild in that second half. The build up to that game all week made it feel like the biggest thing ever to me at the time. Tough loss, but a heck of a football game.

No politics and class acts on the field. This was a GREAT time to be a football fan.

Many people do not give Emmitt Smith credit for being a damn good receiving runningback.

No show boating just pure football. "Legendary" even the commentary

One of the great NFL regular season games remember watching this as if it was yesterday

For a running back this is the ultimate triple crown. Winning the rushing title, winning the NFL MVP, and then winning the Super Bowl MVP. Emmitt did all of that. Even as great as Terrell Davis was for those 4 years, he never accomplished that triple crown.

13:01 "They say Emmitt Smith makes too much money... You get under those shoulder pads and tell me who makes too much money! This is what great football players get paid a lot of money for." What an epic performance! This is when Emmitt transcended all other backs of his time and became an all time great! He had more heart than any of them. What a legend!

Madden pointed out that both Backs gained over a hundred yards, which is rare. Both Backs, both teams came to Ball. Offenses & Defenses on both teams came to play.. . Big D prevailing. Great rivalry in the 90s.

THE Greatest Of All Time!!! 22!! 220+ All-Purpose Yards on 1 arm!!! And won MVP!!! (Regular Season & Super Bowl) Wasn't Even His Best Season!!! Top That!!!

Emmitt was a FORCE in this game--showing everyone that he was not only skilled, but physically and mentally tough! But I also found it amusing to hear the "Moose" call in NY.

Emmitt Smith the GREATEST running back ever any doubt just watch this Warrior do his thing "HURT" in this game

I watched this game in real time. The day i fully fell in love with #22. I dont care what ppl say....Emmitt Smith is the GREATEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME... Yes I've seen Barry and i love him and Emmitt battles but im not trading Emmitts tough ass for NOBODY....if only new all the things tht was on the line THAT DAY.

One of the great games in history.

Fans in the Meadowlands yelling, "Mooooooooose" at 4:20, means they had a lot of respect for Darryl Johnston....!

I was blessed to watch two of the more indelible games in my NFL childhood on this day. The first was this all time regular season classic. The second was the last signature regular season win of the Los Angeles Raiders, who came back from 30-13 down to the Broncos to win 33-30 and make the playoffs. But Emmitt absolutely earned the MVP with this performance. The last vestiges of what the NFL was for me as a kid, with Madden and Summerall calling a physical NFC game on CBS.

I remember that game like it was yesterday.

Want the ESSENCE of this game? @12:37 Summerall with the call: "Here's Emmitt Smith......Eeeeemitt Smiiith,......... Smith HAMMERS to the 25." Man with a broken shoulder, is blasting, POWERING inside for guts yardage. Guts. The greatest offensive performance Ive ever seen, and it was such a money situation! Smith covered himself in glory on this day, his SIGNATURE game engraved in gold. THIS is football, like it ought to be.

Keep your Chiefs-Rams video game scores all day. Cowboys-Giants dueling it out for every point with Madden and Summerall calling... that's the best regular season game of all time.

I have this game on VHS. Other than our first championship win over San Francisco, this is by far the best cowboys game I've ever seen. Emmitt after holding out the first 2 games not only won the rushing title but also NFL player of the year. Bill Parcel and Chad Gailey are the only coaches that came close to Jimmy Johnson talent. What a team we had back then...

Emmitt Smith = IRON/STEEL LEVEL "TOUGHNESS".....Period🏈👊💪🤔!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I hated Emmitt Smith, I gained a ton of respect for his toughness after this game

I would go to these games with my pop who had season tickets & they were the greatest days of my life growing up! How I miss these days & would give anything for one more live game with him

To me this was the end of the rivalry until Eli and Romo came along in relation to longevity and the importance of games between the two teams. This was LT and Simms last game playing against them and Carl Banks was gone the year before. Giants just weren’t the same for a few seasons and then when the Giants became relevant again, the Cowboys weren’t the same team.

MAN,I can watch these games ALL day LONG!! Love the NFL!!! 👍👍👍👍.

Love watching the old Cowboys games. They were such a fun team to watch. So much talent.

Man I miss these days

The game that showed how physical and mental tough those cowboys team was

Emmit showed unreal toughness. This was like a playoff game. They don't win it that year without this game.

Troy with that silky smooth footwork and release!

Emmitt played that entire game almost with a dislocated shoulder

Best two people to announce a sporting event.Thanks you for your professionalism.

Madden came out of the booth and went down to the locker room and told Emmitt this was the greatest game he had ever seen! Totally the highest praise comin from a coach and probably one the best to do it in the booth

Hard fought game, even though the big dawgs of the nfc East were now the Cowboys, Mark Tuinei, Jim Jeffcoat, Bill Bates, Michael Irvin, Ken Norton, Kevin Gogan, Nate Newton, and Bill Bates were all holdovers from the Landry era. Interesting seeing them play against what was left from the Parcells era players, such as Lawrence Taylor, Phil Simms, Howard Cross, Dave Meggett, Rodney Hampton, Erik Howard, Bart Oates, Jumbo Elliot, etc.

Keep these videos coming. This is the best channel for watching these old school games.

I love these Giants Jerseys

Remember the Cowboy Giant game when the first time Emmit touched the ball he went for a 65 yard TD? I think it was a Monday night game as well. I was in my early to mid 20's back then. I loved the NFL. I didn't even watch the Super Bowl yesterday, only watch college now. I love Auburn Tigers and don't care about anything else....

Nice production job as usual. Interesting to compare the minimalist graphic usage from 1993 vs. the 'information overload' of the current graphics normality.

Please bring those yrs back😭😭😭😭😭I miss them😢😢😢😢

Very nice format to see all the important plays!!! Madden and Summerall are a dynamic duo!!! Madden is the Hoss though!!!

I’ll never forget this game as long as I live. I was in the Navy in Brunswick, Maine watching it from my berthing while part of a P3 Squadron (VP-11). I was a nervous reck watching that game.

They always credit that o-line...the one that didn't make Derrick Lassic or Lincoln Coleman or Tommie Agee or Curvin Richards 4 ypc rushers. None of his backups from 1992-1994 averaged 4 yards a carry, but Emmitt was 'carried' by his o-line. If that was the case, his holdout would've blown up in his face and Dallas would've rolled to the title in 1993 without him. Dude was the heart and soul of that entire team.

I remember that game!!!! Go Cowboys

These videos bring back great memories.

I love this channel!

One of my all-time favorite games

Rest In Paradise to the two best...Pat Summerall and John Madden

I was 26 and had a 71' SS Monte Carlo back then.I will say this; I was very grateful

I didn't think you guys would actually do it thanks a lot throwback

NFC East, Overtime, Madden and Summerall. The NFL will never be this good again.

From a person who’s suffered from multiple shoulder separations (both shoulders) and being a fan of the Cowboys, I always come back to this game for motivation. Especially after I’ve had them repaired surgically. DC4L!

Not a Cowboys fan, but I became a Emmitt Smith fan after watching him playing with an injured shoulder.

Still enjoying this decades later

The Cowboys werepretty much dominating the giants in this game,but when Kevin Williams tried to grab that partially blocked punt and fumbled it,things started to turn.Classic game i was fortunate to be at with a ton of other Cowboys fans.

This is the year that Emmitt had to hold out the first 2 games to get a fair contract.. Definitely proved he was worth every penny of the new contract and more.

Football at its greatest. From the 70s through the 90s.

hey you finally uploaded this one thanks, so glad my cowboys season wont have to come down to this lol

This is the definitive Emmitt Smith game. Sure, there were other games where he gained more yards and had longer runs, but if someone asked me "Who was Emmitt Smith?", I'd show them this game.

A true and disciplined team

Back when everyone playing seemed to be a star...all day Sunday's watching football and snoozing on the couch.!!

I miss these days and I miss these Cowboys 😔😪.... Cowboy till I die...

What a tremendous game!!!! The Giants defense played about as hard as a unit can play. This was the great Lawrence Taylor's last game as a professional before he retired, and he made an impact, too!! I'd be remiss without mentioning Emmit Smith and the great impact he had on this game - particularly in the first half, building Dallas' lead up to 13 - 0 at halftime - he really ran with some reckless abandon, getting crucial yards time after time!! Pat Summerall and John Madden apply the cherry on top as the outstanding broadcaster and analyst duo for the football fan at home. It doesn't get much better than this as an NFL classic!!!

Last year of LT. Best linebacker ever!

There may have been better running backs than Emmitt Smith, but he was one of the toughest and most competitive.

A true warrior thank God I was bless to be born in 1975

Emmitts the GOAT of RBs and this game is a good demonstration of why ...

Dallas had the trips and a great def nough said

TONY DORSETT ITS MY FAVORITE PLAYER ALL TIMES. 2 PLACE E. SMITH AND 3 PLACE EZEQUIEL ELLIOT. HY FROM MÉXICO. MIS VAQUEROS DESDE 1980 STAUBACH AND DANNY WHITE. LETS GO MIS VAQUEROS COWBOYS.

classics I miss those days

Emmitt Smith! Wow! I'm not sure if there is another player that has an entire game named after him?! Those were the days . . . Smash Mouth Football at its absolute best!

This was also Lawrence Taylor's last game, so that's another wrinkle of significance to this game.

Nice to stumble upon this 25 years to the date!
