A pity that "Flipper" didn't play for the Dolphins. It would have been too perfect.

This Rams team was a good team. They went 11-5 in 1989, made the playoffs as a wildcard and made it all the way to the NFC championship. And yet all I can think of is "How the F did the Saints lose this game?"

Rams Offense: We cant do anything! Flipper: what you mean "we"?

I would've loved to live in the 80s to watch 80s style football

Ngl no idea who flipper is but I’ll still watch because it’s from NFL Throwback

Flipper Anderson in this game: 336 yards Flipper Anderson in his previous 7 games combined: 298 yards What a performance

WOW! I've been wanting to see this for over 20 years. I got Flipper's autograph at the NFL experience in San Diego in 98, he was a nice guy. First pro athlete's autograph I ever got. Still have the ball to this day.

I wanna see Boomer Esiasons 500+ yard passing performance as a Cardinal from like 96

Easy to forget now but around this time, Jim Everett was in the conversation with Randall Cunningham, Jim Kelly, John Elway, Warren Moon, Dan Marino, etc. for best QB in the league not named Joe Montana.

What's crazy is that in the first game he had against the Rams, he only had 49 receiving yards. This game came straight out of nowhere

Tell you what the amount of passing yards Jim Everett had from the start of the 4th quarter to the end of the game was just beyond insane!

I don't know if it matters or not but he got 40 of those yards in overtime. I'm glad he finally got a Super Bowl ring with the Broncos though.

Wow. Refs actually threw a PI flag in a big moment in a Rams @ Saints game.

the Saints linebacking core was ridiculous back then - Sam Mills and Pat Swilling, look out! Loved growing up in the 80s watching real men play the game - too many soft players nowadays and too many rules. This was what real football looked like and they actually ran the ball. I'm really curious how many targets Anderson had by the end of this crazy game...my best friend at the time loved Jim Everett and I was all about Randall Cunningham.

When NFL Throwback uploads, you know it’s gonna be a day! Hello from Ottawa y’all!🇨🇦

8:49 Yes that was a real rule at the time. Was a big problem in Denver. Crowds were super loud in some stadiums. The King Dome in Seattle was another one.

you guys should make the next "What happened to every #1 Overall Draft Pick?" for: 1990-1999 1980-1989 1970-1979 1960-1969 1950-1959

Not that qb is easy now but a helluva lot harder then

Saints play calling late was atrocious

After 200 yards wouldn’t you double cover him?

Holy Cow!! Look at the quality of this and 30 minutes?! Hrm....Maybe we might be verging on getting full games? 🙏 Anywho, Flipper Anderson was a pretty underrated WR back in the day. More of a 3rd down/possession guy but he was a valuable player.

Man a lot of players on these teams are dead now. RIP John Robinson (Coach), Kevin Greene (LB) Sam Mills (LB), Craig Heyward (FB), Vaughn Johnson (LB), Dave Waymer (DB). There was one or two others but I couldn't remember the names...

Awesome upload. This was a great game. As nutty as it was geographically, I miss the classic NFC West.

NFL Throwback, fantastic job with the edit of this game; loved the inclusion of the intro and between quarter breaks. This is my first time seeing this game as we didn't have cable TV in 1989, but I heard all about Flipper crushing the Saints' playoff hopes the next morning at school! After watching this game, couldn't believe how dominant the Saints D was, until the last 5 minutes of the game. Flipper went into Jerry Rice mode. Thanks again for the game!

5:53 "That was diddly poo!!!" Used to go to Anaheim Stadium as a kid with my Flipper jersey. Loved the Jim to Flipper connection! Bobby Hebert would THRIVED in today's NFL.

Flipper Anderson was one of those players who were more underrated

Back in these days you didn't know what the score was when you turned the game on. They only flashed the score at commercial breaks or scores. Tough times Lol

When I went to the Super Dome for the first time for a Rams Saints game back in Dec of 2001 I held up a sign saying Flipper 336...Them ain'ts fans was hating it, and My Rams won....GOOD MEMORIES!!!

Ladies and gentleman you will never see another game where opposing running backs are both named Buford.

Love this. Now we need a Norm Van Brocklin record game

Another classic highlight, thanks Throwback

That is true football. No trash talking, no silly celebrations, just 2 teams playing the game.

I'm sure that if each and every wide receivers out there would watch this they will be blown away by Willie Flipper Anderson's 336 receiving yards game

Now i understand "Chris Evert"

27:33 Kevin Greene ladies and gentlemen!

You guys should do Derick Henry's 236 yard game against the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football next. (The game where he ran 99 yards on a TD run). Just saying 😈

Bruh, in the first 11 games of the 1989 season, dude had a total of 584 yards and from weeks 13 through 16 he had 226 yards. This game accounted for nearly 30% of his 1989 season and nearly 6.3% of his career yards. And btw, Anderson would go on to win a Super Bowl ring with the 1997 Broncos

I miss the old NFC West with all the crazy geography.

Wow! Such a great game! This is football!

Do a “Best Defensive Performances by a WR” or a “Best offensive performances by a defensive player”

Had the old NO Saints Dome patrol Poster in my room. Loved Pat Swilling growing up, always reminded me of LT. Should be a HOFer. I was so happy when Sam Mills was inducted. An unbelievable fact about Mill's career, his rookie season wasn't until he was like 27 years old, at the end of a normal NFL players "prime years". Retired at 38. that is just ridiculous, totally unheard of like EVER.

Thank you NFL throwback! Keep up the good work and if you could load the gus ferotte headbutt game that would be awesome!

Qb wasn't easy in these days

The Rams Coach was stressing all game 😂😂😫

Basically 60 yds in the first half .. just friggin BEASTING ... Jaw hanging open ..⚡⚡⚡ 🍾🍾

The year I was born... should be an interesting watch!! 👌🏾

I remember listening too this on the radio (didn’t get cable). The nfl only did Sunday night gms the second half of the season back then.

He was always among the top in yards per reception. If He would of been the number 1 receiver he'd of put up way more yards each year.. The great Henry Ellard was getting most of the targets every year. Flipper had a few more crazy yardage games in his career as well.

This is why I love sports remarkable things done by relative unknowns that given them sports immortality.

By random chance, I taped this game when it aired. I still have it on VHS. 😆

1989 is just a weird year like its not rlly the 80s anymore but it isnt the 90s either

NFL Throwback with another classic

I came to watch Flipper but came away impressed with Eric Martin. Haha. I forgot how good he was too.

You see how there was a rule for the Ref to quiet the crowd? lol thats hilarious

As a Saints fan... I'm not even mad. Quite an amazing performance!!

Hebert was an underrated guy. Just like Kosar was a hometown hero for Cleveland, Bobby Hebert was a hometown hero for New Orleans.

Henry Ellard, Fresno State representing! I remember when he got the call from the Rams telling him he got drafted! Maaaan, I wish Dickerson had stayed!

Nothing like football in the 80s and 90s. Every game seemed like it was awesome.

Flipper never heard of him but good to learn about him today

Rip Kevin Greene

My god that crowd is loud. You’d think it’s a playoff game

Flipper is amazing in that game

The quarterback for New Orleans Herbert he reminded me of Rick Meyers who played Q.B.for the Seattle Seahawks in the AFC

Anyone else see the Rams barefoot kicker?

And I remember Shawn Greene

My cousin is crazy he still owns the record

What a game and comeback via the Rams against a solid Saints defence,but Flip Anderson found a way with a exceptional catching and a TD......

This performance wasn't QUITE as random as my fellow Fresno State alumnus Stephone Paige's in 1985, but it was close. Flipper balled out. Only guy I saw from 1992-1997 smoke Deion Sanders deep...he got him in 1994 also on Sunday Night Football.

Ahh yes, I remember this game like it was yesterday. I was supposed to be doing weekend homework that night, but not with my team playing on Sunday Night! Helluva game by Flipper and Chris Evert living up to her name.

Saints should have fired the entire coaching staff after losing that game. Awful play calling last 5 minutes.

That crowd noise rule was so ridiculous. How are you going to penalize the home team because the crowd is loud? You’re not playing in a library.

Probably the biggest statistical anomaly in a single game in NFL history

POST NIGHT TRAIN LANE 14 INT IN 1952 PLEASE

Rams: Juventus! Saints: PSG!

Mike Patrick was always the best announcer.

I love these throw back videos can you guys do more chargers throw back videos please

WAIT. a bare foot kicker just saw one (bare foot kicker alert)

Outstanding!!

He’s so underrated

One of those unbreakable records that very few people know about.

THATS MY MAN WILLIE flipper ANDERSON , UCLA,RAMS

This game is about as old as I am :P

“Disruptive crowd noise” lol

I saw that game and it was great

4th All time in yards per catch.

My very first favorite NFL Player.

That noise rule was the stupidest rule ever it took away from the home field advantage I thought that was the whole point

#40 was getting worked!

This looks like astroturf

Rams never should have left La. But we're back and gonna host and win the super bowl who house rams house

If Flipper played with the GREATEST SHOW ON TURF 😮😅

Can you upload the Bengals vs Steelers from Week 7, 2008?

i cant even do that on super tecmo bowl Jerry Rice

Watched this as it happened. FOOTBALL

Flipper Anderson from the BORO! PHS baby

Surprised you guys don’t know willie flipper Anderson, I just know a lot of history even though I’m 17

Guys can y’all please post the 2009 playoff game between Aaron rodgers and Kurt Warner. I can’t find it anywhere else on KZfaq

Can you please do Steve Young highlights

The Dome Patrol. People rave about their Linebacking Corps but that’s all people talk about and for good reason.

Saints fans: "Where's my brown paper bag"
