"Fine. I'll do it myself."

I've tried to describe him to those too young to have watched him play. "No, really. Coaches would design their offense based on 1 player!" He was truly incredible. The GOAT. No question!

I miss Pat Summerall's voice on commentary. Him and John Madden were the perfect combination

Back when a fumble was a fumble, quarterbacks got tackled, and replays were merely for viewer entertainment. Ahhh the good ol' days...

Kids today will never understand how insanely dominating LT was.

Lawrence Taylor. The greatest player in NFL history.

Lawrence Taylor is the best linebacker I have ever seen.

LT was the GREATEST PLAYER i've ever seen in 45 years of watching NFL Football. #1. Legend.

I've never seen a person run 97 yards and not be tired afterwards

So this is the Lawrence Taylor they compare JJ Watt to. It's not close. LT>JJ

I watched this game live on TV....He was an unbelievable player, the absolute best defensive player ever.....No one even comes close.....Thank you LT!

I wish I was born in the 80s so I can watch him play that's a goat right there

Most dominating player of all time

John Madden on commentary is classic and LT was a monster out there!

Lawrence Taylor is the G.O.A.T at his position. There will never be anyone like him. Now hand me them W's

My favorite thing about Lawrence Taylor is he could make the biggest play of the game and just simply walk back to his position

I'm so glad I was able to watch LT play . This was when football was great

Greatest player in NFL history.. changed the game.

I'm a lifelong Eagles fan. Born and raised in Philly. We had Concrete Charlie and what was considered the greatest defense in 1991. Lawrence Taylor was the best defensive player, ever! He was a beast. I hated that the Eagles had to play LT twice a season. Madden, Summerall and Lawrence Taylor; yeah, that was magic. That dude played hurt.

Wow...I'm a DIE HARD Redskins fan, but LT was simply otherworldly...Mad respect to LT, he was truly incredible....

Grew up a Skins fan from the late 70's through the 80's (glory years,...soooo long ago). But go figure,...one of my favorite players was LT. The best pure football player ever to play on the defensive side.

97 yards on a bad knee, and he was leaving WRs and DBs in the dust. I remember this game like it was yesterday.

I had the pleasure of watching this game live . As a longtime Eagles fan I have to give credit when credit is due. It was the most awesome defensive display I've ever seen.

3:05 Only one of the greatest sacks in history 3:50 On a bad knee, he's the fastest player on the field

As a life long Lions fan born in 1982... we would call this game “par for the course.”

I remember watching this game. Heartbreaking as a Lions fan but a phenomenally impressive performance by Taylor. BTW if any of y'all can't stand Danielson as an announcer, this tape is indicative that he was just as bad at being a QB.

People talk about the GOAT of football in general terms. Often, they will talk about Brady or Rice. But to ME, the GOAT will always be LT. In my mind, there is no one who comes close.

From Steelers Nation, I 👑 Mr Lawrence Taylor the GOAT. JUST BLEW MY MIND THAT I WATCHED THE ENTIRE GAME THEN AND STILL GET THAT FEELING FROM THESE HIGHLIGHTS. Sorry not sorry for yelling lol.

I remember very little about that game, but Taylor is the reason why I am a Giants fan

SHOUTOUT TO THE REAL LT

"It's almost impossible for an NFL player to take over a game." Taylor: "Hold my cocaine."

LT by far the greatest defensive player to ever play the game , it wasn't nothing he couldn't do . completely changed the game made offensive tackles very rich and outside linebackers .

"Now, wait a minute. We're talking about Lawrence Taylor now," Yeah, I'm not putting anybody in Lawrence Taylor's class," So ... You can put everybody down below that, With a lot of respect to a lot of good players now, but we're talking about Lawrence Taylor." Bill Belichick... head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots...

Giants offense was dogging the defense and LT still had the stamina to run 97 yards for a TD 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽

John Madden and LT bring back great memories

He started the game on the sideline due to his *KNEE*, drives right over everyone from the moment he enters the game, and caps it with a 97 yard interception return Jesus what a monster

My dad told me to watch football videos of James Harrison and Lawrence Taylor and i like it

The LT in Tecmo Bowl when he's excellent

Undoubtedly the greatest defensive presence I've ever witnessed in over 30 years of watching pro football.

Blew through 300lb linemen like the entire o line was a straw house

LT and Harry Carson. Damn what a pair. Love those years in the NFL.

I miss Madden calling Giants games. Greatest commentator ever.

I dont care if your not a giants fan, i dont even care if you dont like LT, you HAVE to respect his ability to absolutely seek and destroy. That man was virtually unstoppable

He ran that damn interception back like a Bob Hayes, or Adrian Peterson. Bro he was gone. Nobody close. 🙌🏼👏

Him and Walter Payton are the two greatest players in NFL history

And for someone to compare Jj watt to a Legend 🙌🔥like this is inconceivable!!!!!

Went to over 100 games, at the old Giants Stadium. Even when they were horrible, they were still the greatest. And to get to watch LT, go through his career, is a high point in my life. I miss my old Giants, all the time. And only once, I was able to get LT's attention as the guys were walking back into the tunnel after brutalizing Seattle. I screamed, "YOU'RE THE FUCKING GREATEST, LAWRENCE!!!!" and he looked right me, with a smile and pointed a #1 finger at me. I'll never ever forget it. Beasley Reece was right next to him and he winked at me and gave me a thumbs up. Can't get any better than that, when you're 15 years old.

Thanksgiving '82. I was brought up as a GIANT (family tradition) I was a teenager then. L T was like a superhero brought to save BIG BLUE from the dismal '70s. We couldn't believe what we were seeing, leaping around the livingroom. A game we will never forget.

Best *Player* of all time...not just best LB

"Cocaine is a helluva drug." --- Rick James.

How funny Giants offesne hasn't chnaged a bit

Greatest linebacker of all time no doubt.

Great game by Taylor.....as a Steeler fan, I can count on one hand and think of only two games I've watched in the past 20 years or so that a defensive player won the game for them.....one was Rod Woodson....as I can't remember who they played, but he had an unbelievable game in which he made the impact for them to win the game....might have been Baltimore........the other game is a little more known by many with is James Harrison had an insane game on Monday night football and I believe that was also against Baltimore.....anyway, LT always made an impact when he was on the field....

I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen him play..Tom Brady,Ray Lewis, Montana,Rice,Singletary were and are great but LT was the best I've ever watched

I feel So Blessed that as a Teenager. I got to see Lawrence Taylor "L.T." from his Rookie Season. All the way up to his retirement. And all that I can say about him is "Wow!!" That Man played Every Game as if it were his Last. He Really Played his heart out. And I don't believe they'll Ever be another like him again.

As a lifelong Redskins fan ... I’m not ashamed to say LT was the greatest!

Lawrence Taylor was so good Philadelphia Eagles coach Buddy Ryan once put a bounty him. They couldn't stop him.

LT was one of the greatest defensive players of all time... Make no mistake, the NFL is by and large a corrupt organization. Most large corporations are. And when the fix is in, there is almost nothing a player or a team on the field can do. But LT did it. He was never one of the NFL's poster children and never had the refs on his side, but he cut a bloody path through offenses for over a decade. Which was one Hell of a career given how nasty hits were back then. And LT told the truth: about doping, about secret bounties, about secret fines, about hookers, and about the nasty underside of the No Fun League. A lot of folks focus on the mess LT made of his life. It's a fair point. He apparently got look a the list of 'How To Screw Up Really Bad' and made it a bucket list. And he was the author of much of his own misfortune. There was a point where it seemed that LT had only two choices in life: the NFL or prison. But nobody, NOBODY, who ever saw him play had any doubt that he was a once-in-a-generation talent in a vicious sport.

Two words describe Lawrence Taylor. The best.

I remember watching this game and thinking how could an injured player come in late in the first half, and make such a difference? It just defied all expectations to have someone dominate a game like that. The NFL would have otherwise wanted such a player on offense, not defense. So I think LT's impact is underrated because he did it on defense. And I ain't a NY Giants fan (Washington fan here).

I remember watching this game as a kid at my grandmother's house. I have seen many great defensive players but none were as good as LT.

I hate the Giants but I have all the respect in the world for LT

Wow.. great performance by a legend with a healing knee

To this day LT is the greatest defensive player of all time

He is JJ Watt and Von Miller combined with steroids

AHHHH, 35 yrs later the giants still need one player to take over the game to get the win

I'll never forget that there was a flag on the interception return, the Lions TE David Hill held the flag up in the air and waved at Taylor to "bring it back" while the crowd cheered....and then it turned out the penalty was on the Lions. Being a Lions fan has been brutal

There were Giants in those days. On the field and in the booth. Nothing better than Madden and Summerall.

My boy LT and he’s the only LT you chargers fans or he’s the og LT

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Even when Taylor hugs you in the end zone you feel his destructive power. 😂😂😂😂

Super enjoyed watching LT's magic on the field. This from a life long Chiefs guy!

LB Lawrence Taylor.... 1(b). Greatest football PLAYER of all-time. [ 1(a). is RB Jim Brown ] #NYG4LIFE

"Sir Lawrence of the Meadowlands."- Tony Soprano

for the record LT's Pick 6 had a penalty flag down but it is against the lions

Pat Summerall, "Don't think he can't run"! Classic Stuff!

Taylor or Jim Brown best 2 players in NFL history, had biggest impacts

Imagine how good he really could've been had he even tried. Famously known for not training, for doing drugs and not liking to practice.

I love this great player many memories.

The definition of bad ass! Watching his clips always pumped me up before I hit the field

Uhmmm.... Saints vs Giants, LT breaks hand, still catches an interception and causes a fumble.

My ex-husband played offensive guard for Bama under Ray Perkins because of LT!!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL 🐘 🏈

he was so good at beating Left tackles it was ridiculous...

The legend of LT lives on. A man among boys.

What about Barry Sanders, basically singlehandedly beating every team for every win in which he took part in? 😆

LT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ray lewis

That man made the N.F.L. tremble at home he roar on the road the other team fan's cried when he stepped on the feild...won of or the GREATEST ever "LT"....JUAN BX N.Y. GO BIG BLUE...

LT is one of the greatest players in the way he dominated the game. To this day, the standard Giants jersey is #56.

This is the true power of a crackhead. 🐐

Saying Taylor was great if not the greatest player period is like saying the sun is hot.

What a absolutely beast of a man Lawrence Taylor was..No other linebacker in history is even in the same ballpark as LT. You could see the fear and panic on opposing players when they had to go against LT.. It's comparable to Mike Tyson in his prime. Everyone has a game plan untill you see Lawrence Taylor running full speed towards you with intentions of taking your head off .

You'll never see another defensive linebacker like LT again. Ever.

The giants need to go back to having the bold GIANTS on there helments. Those look clean

The only defensive player to win MVP, earning the award in 1986

Laurence Taylor greatest linebacker ever.

Lawrence Taylor. Party animal. Game wrecker. All that is man.

I became a Giant fan in 79 because of L T.

There wasn't an interception Gary Danielson didn't like. In the 1 point loss to the 49ers in the playoffs in 1983, he threw 5 ints.

Watching NFL Films footage of this growing up, this was always one of my more favorite all time performances from a player. Lawrence really was the difference maker of this game.

LT was the greatest football player ever..if you never had the pleasure of watching him play trust me you missed a treat
