Just imagine if Barry would have had a competent QB. The greatest RB in my book.

Sanders and Marino, pure class. I still believe the 90s are better than today's players. There, I said it!!

Classic SNF game between 2 playoff teams from that season. Been looking for highlights of this one for a long time before now, glad to see I wasn’t the only one who appreciates it

I was at this game. It was in Miami, on a Thursday night from what I recall, shown live on ESPN. A bunch of us Lions fans tailgated with Lions jersies and matching Lions miner hats. We had a big banner and they kept showing us on TV. I was 27. I still consider Marino and Barry to be my first 2 picks if I could build a team from all eras. Forget rings. Those 2 were undefensable.

Barry's approval rating is pretty close to 100%. But for his few detractors that throw out nonsense like "he couldn't block for his QB" this video shows otherwise. And this isn't out of the norm. He was a darn good and very willing blocker for all nine of the average to garbage QB's he played with for the Lions. Oh and at 7:31 Mitchell could have hit Sanders wide open and with basically the entire field to work with after the catch. He force fed an INT instead.

1:07 left for Dan Marino was an eternity.

If sanders had gone to miami he and marino would have won 2 superbowls

Quickest release ever

The gulf between Barry Sanders and everyone else is enormous. The gulf between Scott Mitchell and Dan Marino is probably bigger.

Two of the greatest players that never won a super bowl ...

0:47 bingo , announcer is so right in pointing out that what is overlooked about Sanders was he is strong as an ox

Dang this was a good game, Barry put in work as usual........ Greatest Back ever, in a class of his own like TD said.

Wow! What a game!!

Lions owners paid Sanders well but never expended much energy and money to build a better overall team . They "used" Sanders to draw in fans, endorsements, profits in general . It wasn't fair to Barry or to the Lions fans . If he had half a good an offensive line as Emmitt Smith had Sanders would have played longer and been the all time rushing leader . I don't blame Sanders for quitting after 8 or 9 seasons . He went out of the nfl in fairly good shape , all the more amazing with all the energy he expended and hits he took .

Those were the days (and nights).

If you are here for a Scott Mitchel highlight, it’s at 2:07 👍 Barry and Dan the two greatest to play their profession🐐🐐

I feel like Barry wouldve had more TDs if they would keep him in at the goaline in his career They kept takin him out

My two favorite players ever!

Greatest pure passer ever and greatest RB ever.

In 1989 Green Bay passed on Barry and Deion Sanders for an offensive lineman. Can you imagine Brett handing off to Barry? That would of been scary!

They get my vote for the greatest of all time at their respective positions. Definitely the best to never win a super bowl.

There's so many "lions" moments in this clip, I lost count.

The greatest of all time Dan Marino Barry Sanders

My 2 Favorite players of all time. The Best at their position, period. Line up the Best of the Best, and their Team would Win :)

I WAS THERE!

3:24 Damn Barry!

Story of Barry’s career right here.

Best pure QB ever . Dolphins never put shit around Marino , defense was embarrassing bad in late 8s early 9s. Dude threw 7 TDS and lost to Jets in OT . Pretty much same scenario for Barry , greatest runner ever . The moves the quickest with power ..

need a Dan Marino video

I never understood why they didn’t do more throws to Barry for screen passes or little dump offs. He actually has good hands they just didn’t throw to him enough. He had too many QBs and they never really figured out a system. Most games it was Barry trying to save their asses again. His runs are all on him as he had to change directions. When they did give him a hole to run, almost every every other running would get let’s say 5 to 10 yards but he turned it into 20-80 yards. When they didn’t block he could turn the best 3 yard loss into a 1 yard gain and make it a highlight. He was underrated as a blocker and a receiver and the team didn’t use him to his full potential

This one was a tremendous match. If my memory serves me right, The previous one was in 1994, both were Sunday night games. Both 94 and 97 were Barrys' best in trdage, 1800 and 2000 yards respectively.

If Miami had Barry, they’d prob win a few Super Bowls

It was either the 97, 98, or 99 can’t remember but they had a trade plan for Barry to go to the Miami Dolphins and he wanted to play in Miami it just didn’t fall through!! Could you imagine the 98 99 jimmy Johnson team I believe Dan Marino might would have had his SB

2010s nfl is flag football compared to the nfl of the 90s back to the mid 1970s

Some people forget Detroit and Miami used to be damn good teams!

Poor Barry with his trash ass team. The GOAT

Good evening JSN just was wondering if a Dan Marino, Marks Brothers (Clayton & Duper), Daunte Culpepper, Jeff George, Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter, updated newly enshrined Hall of Fame Randy Moss, Robert Smith, Jake Reed, & John Randle highlight videos coming down the pike in the next few days & upcoming weeks?

Legends.

What a game!!! Barry, Marcus Allen and Sweetness are my top 3.

Love you

Mitchell was trash

The Lions would have been decent if they could put a defense on the field or they had a QB.

Hated Scott Mitchell

Goddamn lions defense and Scott Mitchell weren't worth a shit..........l really felt sorry for Barry.

Two of the greatest to never when a super bowl...and Scott Mitchell was a horrible quarterback. The lions never committed to getting a good qb to help out Barry. It’s a shame because if they had someone that was good it could have changed the lions decade for the 90’s and I’m not even a lions fan, but a sanders fan.

Original Beast Mode , Only Beast Mode

If Detroit had a qb they possibly could have made it a lot further. They had a pretty goo offense with Herman moore but you need a great qb to get you to that next level and Detroit never seemed to care enough. Don’t blame Barry sanders for walking away.

If they had an all-time team for players who never won a chip, would any player from this game be on that team?

Good game

I hated Scott Mitchell

Scott Mitchell and Brett Perriman destroying their previous team, lol

For #1 RB, you either liked Barry Sanders or Terrell Davis around this time.

Scott Mitchell was horrible

Barry was like Terrell Davis who?

It's even more amazing that Sanders had mediocre to poor blocking most of his career with Detroit . Lions owners and shareholders were greedy and didn't invest in a better offensive line and overall lions team . Barry could have had at least 2 super bowl rings imho .

is there a game when turtle marino has not been intercepted?

8:31 lol😅😅
