Deion Sanders was a great cornerback and Jerry Rice was a great wide receiver. This was a great matchup back in the day.

If only today’s DBs can play physical defense like Deion Sanders. Average WRs today wouldn’t be catching the ball 10 times for over a 100 yards. The fact Rice had over a 100 yards in the 1st quarter alone solidified how great he was.

Man I miss those 49er Cowboy battles in the 90’s

The best football commentators and won't ever be any others.

DEION won his First Superbowl on my bday with the 49ers Jan 29,1995 One of the happiest days if my life

God I miss madden and summerall

The two All-time best at their position Goin at it. Damn, I miss these matchups.

Phenomenal job by San Fran in this game finding ways to force Deion to defend someone else. Every single catch except one in these highlights was because they forced Deion to switch. Deion was such a beast. Even the greatest WR to ever walk the planet had extreme difficulty getting open against Deion.

Deion was a real shut down corner , Rice had no catches on him ,every time they switched they took full advantage tho

Its always big enough when Dallas plays San Francisco. But this game was so huge. Rice vs Sanders... Epic.

Greatest matchup ever, the best vs the best

man that broadcasting so classic and memorable !

I didn't see Rice catch 1 pass while being covered by Deion.

I miss my 90's Cowboys 😓

This was basically a difference in preparation of the coaches.

I remember this game. Steve Young injured, William Floyd, injured, Cowboys favored by 18! Niners put it on em, and blew them out. One of the more satisfying regular season wins.

Dions recovery speed is out of this world. Jerry manhandled him on that end zone shot but Gerbac was late.

THAT BOY DEION SANDERS HAD CATCH UP SPEED AND ANGLES #21 PRIME TIME PRIME TIME.

Rice first 2 catches of the game went for 101 yards. Over 50 yards a catch. On the road.. GOAT

Rice V Primetime is like Ali Vs Tyson

The two best players vs each other bruh why does this have to be so epic?

Jerry is the 🐐!

Now their sons will play each other in the Colorado versus USC game 😮😮😮😮😮

I cant believe Chad Johnson ever thought he could step toe to toe with Sanders. Seeing clips like this reminds you how much of a shutdown corner Deion was.

Deion is a monster

JSN yout the GOAT when it comes to highlights. ESPN/NFL Films/ the NFL. Needs to hire you

Bro u on a roll!!! I love ya videos

Back to back years Deion went head to head vs Micheal Irvin and Jerry Rice and shut em both down. Insane !!

The Goat tore they ass up that day!!!

0:25 "Deion and Jerry. Exchanging Recipes." LMAO

I saw 2 TD's on Dieon if the QB just threw the ball on time. One Rice could've caught but dropped it but had the QB threw it on time it was a for sure TD

Remember the commercial, with Steve Young out on a date with a beautiful woman? They are in a carriage and he asks, "are you cold, need anything, anything I can do for you?"... Turns his head and he was talking to Jerry Rice, and not the beautiful woman. THAT was the NFL I loved and spent THOUSANDS of dollars on....

4.7 my ass,it’s closer to the 4.4 Bill Walsh said he ran in his first training camp with the team!!!

Jsn bro? Your now my all time favorite you tuber

What i like is deion can jam without holding

The last thing Both Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin needed to do was motivate and fire up the greatest wide receiver and NFL player of all time and boy they both paid for it after the game lmbo

@jsn highlights ...do u have emmitt smith very first career nfl td ???? 1990 cowboys at redskins week 3

Only If Young was playing that game. Rice had Deion beat a few times. He still dominated!!

The first play was waiting for deion to close on Jerry so bad🤣

Madden and Pat Summerall oh I miss them.

Deion was cold asf

Full sprint with your head turned. Why can’t dbs do that more often??

Madden. The only guy that thinks he needs to explain to nfl fans that the best wr in history and the best cb in history will be physical at the los. Man I do not miss his voice. Like listening to hillary

My poor brain once I heard Madden’s voice, he’s still alive. I’m getting old

I like the way you show the TD to Jerry rice but don't mention it was called back cuz a holding penalty

With a back up QB.

Rice was cookin dem boyz

Best WR vs Best CB, let s go! Hometown vs Prime Time!

I miss john madden.

2 head to head competitors not shying away from each other ....

Dirty move by Rice trying to take out deions knee

I miss Maddens voice 🥲

This game forced cowboys to change defensive philosophy. I forgot who won the Superbowl that year?

Crazy

Damn I never realized how fast Jerry Rice was

Didn't catch shit on PRIME TIME

Why not put Deion on him every single snap. Every time Deion didn’t cover him Jerry made plays. That was a bad game plan

Actually most of this is Rice being covered by somebody else. When Prime is on him, he didn't catch much.

The goat

Two of the best, back you know when the QB was not the only star on the field. Go Niners

Deon had everyone playing with their zipper down or button un done.

Rice has got to make that catch he missed when he broke away from nion I mean primetime for the touchdown

Bruh none of Jerry’s highlights were when Deion was on him

Jerry Rice was one bad dude

Only time rice can do anything is when Deons not on him!

Welp it was Gerbach throwing the ball not Young or Montana...... big difference.

Who's the genius who decided not to have Deion cover Rice on every snap?

It seems the only person on the Cowboys roster capable of covering Rice was Sanders. Everyone else simply got beat.

That 81 yarder was pretty

Jerry rice had Deion sanders beat on a lot of those playes but the QB never throw the ball when he was open go look at the highlights when Deon played for the falcons and Joe Montana were throwing the ball to Jerry Rice jerry burnt them bad

Sucks because the NFL has taken matchups like this out of the current game in an attempt to pump up stats and scoring.

00:32 did Rice seriously try to dive to hurt Deion's knees? A strange move from an otherwise consummate professional player.

Jerry Rice is one the Greats...partly because the Rules of the Game changed. In the days of "when the ball is snapped you can hit anybody" Jerry would not have had the long career that he had. Back in the day Jack Tatum, George Atkinson, or those mad dogs who played for the Steelers, the old Packers would have creamed him so many times that Concussions would have caused him to hang it up. Deion is one of the All Time Best Cover men. I'll give him that. However, what's NEVER TALKED ABOUT WITH DEION is "He never tackled anybody". He always had a way of avoiding the run plays when they came to his side of the field; somehow being out of position to make the hit, but if close enough once one of his teammates was making the tackle he would then join in...but tackling by himself? like looking for the Tooth Fairy.

Jerry best him twice and gerbac was late again

Why would u ever put Sanders in zone coverage??????

Whenever people say _Rice had hall of fame QBs his whole career_ I reference this game.

They to lineup Rice in the slot to get him the ball🤣🤣🤣 ..PRIMETIME😎

Some things to consider: 1. Jerry was in his 11th season here, while Deion was in his 7th, and was almost 5 years younger. 2. Elvis Grbac, back-up QB for the 49ers in 1995, is no where near Steve Young or Joe Montana's league, and you could see Jerry's frustration when he managed to get open against Deion, and Grbac couldn't deliver the ball. 3. The 49ers won this game anyway, which is what matters. 4. Jerry is THE GOAT at WR (period) and Deion in the BEST cover corner to ever play, with crazy speed and quickness. His tackling left something to be desired, however. Anyway, go back and watch some of their matches when Deion played for the Falcons, as they were in the same division as the Niners back the. Classic stuff.

I believe that Deon got the pick on the next play though

Correct me if I’m wrong but every catch was against zone?? Lol Deion was isolated outside with a different receiver and Rice was just carving up the linebackers underneath. Deion’s jam is naaaaasty💯

Why was Steve young on the sideline for this game

SF beat the shot out of the cowboys this game

Boy Rice was wide open till Prime caught up

I'll tell you what this generation of players from the mid 80s to the mid-90s would totally dominate today's generation bar none. Ronnie Lott would have took Brady out by halftime and the greatest quarterback of all time Joe Montana and Jerry Rice the best receiver of all time quite simply is the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be as Brett Hart would say! don't forget about bo or Barry or that bears 85 defense. yup....best generation ever.

RIP John Madden

Prime don't like Playing the Slot Position !!

Prime is the GOAT in my books and i do not care

I wish Elvis would have thrown more passes Jerry's way. That's what everyone wanted to see, I think Rice and Deon were both mad there weren't more targets

Prime had Rice in solitary confinement🤣🤣🤣

Dion could tie Jerry’s shoes

Dammm beat them cowboys with a backup QB💪🏽💪🏽

only the cowboys would have the best shutdown corner ever and not just leave him matched up on the best receivers ever all game. first this game vs jerry rice, then thanksgiving '98 vs randy moss.

1:12 you have a linebacker covering Jerry Rice? Only one outcome: touchdown.

Champ vs randy moss

Jerry won the battle, but the cowboys won the super bowl

En ese juego se comprobó q deion fue mejor en todos los aspectos no fue pieza mano a mano

Rice had Deon burnt all game

Why did we let prime time go to Dallas? Go 9ers.

They pissed Jerry Rice off! He dominated them in this game!! The disrespect....!! Don’t do that again!! Jerry Rice is the GOAT

So basically SF just dominated them.
