I've been a die never Lions fan since 1967. This team from 1991 thru 93 was special. So close to the bowl we could smell it. Thanks for the memories. My favorite years were 1970, 74, 1980, 1991,92,93.

I can't even imagine the electricity going through this state. I love the lions and the fact that I'm 21 and I've never felt that is what keeps me a lions fan. Yeah, I could go jump on the bandwagon of a winning team. But what is truly the reward? I'd give anything to feel this. Hopefully I will someday!

I have always loved that one play at 4:15 where Rodney Peete raises his arms into the air when Barry is still 25 yards away from the end zone because it's practically a forgone conclusion that he's going to score.

91 was a good year for the Lions! It's hard to believe that this was the last playoff win for them. Thanks for posting this video!

I miss Bennie Blades and William White as our safeties. They were two of the hardest hitters in football. Receivers were leery of running across the middle when they played the Lions in that era.

I was 11 years old, that was one of best years of my life, I remember as a kid when the lions game sold out we were able to watch the game on tv, just being a kid, there is nothing better then that

Imangine if Staffard could go back in a "time tunnel? And was their (qb) This was a great "team" without a pro-bowl.(qb) They humiliated dallas twice in 1991 You gotta Love it.

Thank you for your videos, Dan. I remember when you played for the Lions.

Dan thanks for posting this...i'm a Lions fan at heart and even bigger 1991 Lions fan. Drew a picture of Barry Sanders in grade 9 art class go figure, loved the picture, followed the player and saw that whole 1991 season. I never followed football growing up in Toronto Canada playing hockey the whole time but that changed everything. I made it down that year for a game being in a hockey tournament in Detroit but we scored in double overtime landing us a spot in the championship game. The only problem was it was at the same time as the football game. We ended up winning the tournament but went home feeling robbed ! Twenty five years later searching for 1991 highlights found out about the 1991 anniversary game (2016) so that was sweet redemption. Never saw a professional sports team have so much fun playing sports. You guys accomplished so much that season, knocking off GB, beating Buffalo outdoors, then giving it to Dallas in the most amazing game i've ever seen in the playoffs. Thumbs Up and thanks for the great memories.....

Thanks for posting this, I wore out this team highlights VHS tape as a kid! I remember this season like it was yesterday, sad they couldn’t build off this winning season.

Thanks Dan, for posting the 1991 highlights. I remember the feeling of devastation when watching Utley get injured - But with Barry and company, they made it a season to remember - Maybe next season the Lions should make " thumbs up " their call to arms an do the unthinkable once again !

Awesome uniforms! Time to go back to them.

Thanks so much for uploading this, Dan. I greatly appreciate it. If you have any other video yearbooks from 1992-1998, I would very much appreciate it if you could upload them as well.

Wish Ray Crockett would have spent his whole career with the lions

Yes!!! Thank you soooo much for uploading this! I had this VHS tape as a kid and used to watch it all the time. Haven’t seen this in probably more than 20 years!

Thank you for downloading this video,! It brings back great memories from my youth. As a fan of the #DetroitLions, when the season’s over, you don’t make it to the NFL Playoffs, you don’t win in the #NFLPlayoffs, whenever I get disenchanted I watch this video clip as extra motivation going into the next season. When I reflect back, I often ponder the Detroit Lions teams from 1991 through today. If only the coaches and players carry a heavy heart of #MikeUtley, #ErikAndolsek, in every game, every season as extra inspiration and motivation.

Utley is a hero we love that man here in Detroit!

As a Bears fan I do have a great admiration for the Lions. This was the first time that I saw this in person on KZfaq. As for the Lions' Mike Utley, I got emotional at seeing him on a stretcher. As a Bears fan I hate any player's injury that serious no matter what opponent he plays for.

This year is their year for sure! Lions 2022 Superbowl Champs!

That was an awesome year for the Detroit Lions. All the way to the NFC Championship Game. Rodney Peete, aka, Denzel Washington😁😉😎was actually doing pretty good for us until he got hurt. Nice backup in Eric Kramer🦁🏈🏈

I was 14 years old at the playoff game vs the Cowboys telling my step-dad "They're going to the Superbowl for the next few years." 😳

Wow the Lions had a great year in '91! So sad they couldn't go all the way that year tho. But they'll win it all some day soon, it can happen

Wow what a amazing season! 12 and 4 Central Division Champions! They had a first round bye and the 2nd round was a home playoff game and they embarrassed the Cowboys on national tv. One game away from the Superbowl and the Lions competed with the Washington Football Team, for most of the first half but unfortunately they were just more talented and blew us out for the second time that season. On opening night national tv the football team cleaned our clock and the same with the last game. It was almost a little karma cuz the Lions cleaned the Cowboys clock twice that season. A phenomenal year and unfortunately they haven't won a playoff game since.

This was great. Thanks for posting it. Are you THEE Dan Owens? Today.....the Lions sit at 3-4-1. Matt Stafford has been phenomenal, but the Defense ranks 31st with new "Defensive Guru" HC Matt Patricia. Since 1980, I've seen Billy Sims, Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford........win one Playoff Game. Not to mention guys like Blades, Spielman, Ball, Baker, Purifoy and many more defensive stars. Not to mention 3 exceptional Kickers in Murray, Hanson and now Prater. What gives?

What a season! The Lions should have won the Superbowl that year!

We always had great teams....till the playoffs long live the Lion King 🦁

Wow this team was actually pretty good. They had talent and great football players all over the field. Lions need to get there defense to what it use to be

Best uniforms and helmet

I like how it skips over the fact they got annihilated in week 1 by the Redskins.

Thank you!!!!

The days of the BLACKOUTS!

91 Restore the Roar 🦁🏉

Still the best team in Tecmo Superbowl

It's beautiful

I know, I know. They could never win without a solid quarterback, which they never could find until 2010! And, they couldn't win outside the dome. But man, were these guys amazing to watch. There's never been a team quite like this one...

Barry " Tha GOAT " Sanders

4:14 Rodney peete signalling a TD right after the handoff

Imagine if lions had Stafford when they had this team smh

I know Mr.Hayworth he is a nice dude

the 95-96 season was good to started 0-3 and made the p[layoffs. Herman Moore, Brett Perriman, and Barry sanders all have over a 1000 yeards from scrimmage

I'll never forget Steve Largent unloading on Benny Blades on a Sat night game. Largent utterly de-cleateded him on an interception...was one of the hardest legal hits I've ever seen in my life. I think Blades was with the Broncos or Chiefs.

Anybody know what the name of the music is when Barry Sanders section comes up???awesome music to work out to for high intensity training LOL.

Fontes was the last best run We love you Wayne lol and Mark Champion

I forgot about the Ball and Cofer injuries. I think the Lions were the second best team in the NFL that year. Unfortunately the Redskins were a great team that year.

Thumbs-ups for this video are mandatory.

I miss the dome, I miss the UNIFORMS, I miss a lot of early 90s players, I miss the early 90s as a whole for all sports. Speaking of uniforms why can’t they bring these back they were fantastic!

Real people.

the score in the championship was misleading. the lions were in the red zone driving and about to make the game 17-14 when they came up short and kicked a FG instead. it was still competitive at half time at 17-10. a few mistakes in the second half by a young team in the playoffs for the first time and the score in the end looked lopsided, when it was far from that through one half.

Best lions team we ever had

Willie Green also signed with The Fins..and Jimmy Johnson..but couldn't make it out of the preseason..had really lost all his 4.5 speed..his best season was with the Panthers.

Mark Champion was a great announcer

The comeback vs Minnesota is nowhere on KZfaq

Anyone know the song playing during Jets, Bears, Packers and Bills game?

The lions first home playoff game in 35 years. Let that sink in. Sell the team.

Did you see that hit Barry laid on that dude in the endzone? BAM! spun him around I bet he was out cold

At 626 I didn't know they had cell phones back then

Lions could use this passion again

Thumbs Up aka 1991 Detroit Lions

Barry owned the Metrodome

It’s shame they ran into Washington during the championship game. I bet they would’ve beat the bills

Love me some John Facenda

6:26 possible time traveler spotted 🎉🎉🎉

23:00

Al vin Gu zman love you 😅

Jerry ball was huge loss for us in that jets game

A great team that unfortunately started and ended their season playing a super redskins team that year. 45-0 and 41-10 I think had they got tp the superbowl a lions v bills matchup would have been interesting.

This is when the Madden Curse started with John Madden saying “The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are going to be the dominant teams in the 90s.” Well, what happened? Dallas won 3 Super Bowls and we sucked.

It's hard to understand why the Lions couldn't repeat this success when they had basically the same roster for the next 5 years. They went in the wrong direction and Dallas won Super Bowls

6:25 Dudes on a cell phone.

Who were the 3 Idiot's that thumbs down the video? smdh

It would have a close NFC CHAMP GAME if Rodney Peete was able to play

erik kramerrrrrrrr

Eric Kramer should have been are QB through the 90's not Rodney

That's where the narrator is wrong. The 41-10 loss to Washington captured perfectly what the Lions were in 1991. Coming off a 6-10 record in 1990, the Lions took advantage of a very weak schedule. At home, Detroit was 8-0 but beat a lot of teams that did not have winning records in 1991 (only 2 of 8 teams finished over .500). On the road, against playoff contending teams, the Lions were way over-matched. 45-0 to Washington, 35-3 to San Francisco, 20-10 to Chicago. A total of 100-13! Let me repeat that. The Lions lost these 3 games by a total of EIGHTY SEVEN POINTS. The Lions beat Buffalo in the final game but Buffalo rested all of its starters because the Bills had the #1 seed wrapped up. So losing 41-10 to Washington didn't surprise most observers. It was a lot closer than the first time the Redskins beat Detroit. 31 points instead of 45 points.

HTTR

But it was Robert Clark.........Lol.....who didn't have another gear..

Did any one see the cell phone the guy was on

HTTR !!!! HOGSSSSS BABYYY !!!!!!

If this game would of been at the silverdoam. The score would of been reversed. Detroit was a better team than washington. Unfortunately they had to play that championship game in that "blank" hole at RFK stsdium. Mark Rypen "are you kidding".

30 years later, they're the nfc's worst team

Erik Kramer tried to commit suicide and failed. Believe he is still alive. Hopefully he doesn't do something like that again. God Bless him!

Should have stuck with Kramer in the playoffs Pete over achieved he was terrible

Notice how everyone claps as a response to something happening? But apparently Jason Garrett is the only one

The aromatic cathedral pertinently back because dash trivially bounce for a brown drive. earsplitting, small firewall

Not a Lions fan But don't get why the Lions changed from these uniforms to their current ugly piles of shit

Lions franchise is a complete discrace and as a Lions fan a total embarrsment Lions are a discrace!!!

I've been a die never Lions fan since 1967. This team from 1991 thru 93 was special. So close to the bowl we could smell it. Thanks for the memories. My favorite years were 1970, 74, 1980, 1991,92,93.
