Na'ah...he atoned big time in the Super Bowl. His strip of Thurman Thomas led to James Washington's amazing fumble return TD that changed that entire game. He dominated in that postseason.
Love the tradition. Every Thanksgiving I always watch the Lions game and hope they win. I'm just barely old enough to remember Barry Sanders' last few years in the NFL. As a Niners fan, I've always respected the loyalty of Lions fans. They deserve a winning team
I followed the Lions even shen they were in Briggs stadium. Lost a 50cent bet on them when the COLLEGE ALL STARS beat them! Half a buck was big money to someone in the 10 year old range. My son and I went to a Turkey day game when they were the Pontiac Pussycats.
As a huge NFL fan from europe i love watching games on thursday.There is just something special about it even thou it is completly normal day here in croatia. I wish i will be able to live "real" thanksgiving expirience in USA.
I love watching football (I’m America so NFL) in Europe. There’s just something about seeing people that enjoy the sport instead of complaining about it’s name
This after Lett's gaffe in Super Bowl XXVII. No wonder Trumpy said "nooooooo"..and then after the replay and a "not Leon Lett" comment, Enberg responded with a lengthy "Oh my"...
4:07 I was 8 years old and watched that Clint Longley game with my family. We left my Grandma's house at halftime and watched the second half at home. I am a lifelong Vikings fan, but that was one time that I stood up and screamed for a team other than Minnesota. That comeback in the 4th quarter was one of the reasons I am a football fan for life. Incredible. And the Moss game in 1998 was one of my favorite moments ever.
Great video. The two moments I'll add to this as far as memorable as someone watching since 1985 was Darrin Nelson's GW TD for the Vikings in 1987. Great great Turkey Day game...44-38. Saved the season for Minnesota, who got hot and went to the NFC Championship Game. And the 1994 Detroit game where the Lions put the first nail in the coffin of the Bills dominance over the AFC. And it wasn't Barry Sanders, but DAVE KRIEG, who cooked the 4x defending AFC Champs. My pops, while making a peach cobbler just looked at me and said, "we finally won't have to see them get their butts kicked in the Super Bowl!"
Watching Barry Sanders growing up was like watching someone who had the real life codes installed. He was the reason I begged my mom to play football. Barry was so amazing his 7 yard losses were incredible to watch. If you just took away his minus yard attempts he would've broke the all time and single season rushing records.
if the lions won 79 games straight they still wouldn't make it to the super bowl because trey flowers would get flagged for roughing the pass and illegal use of hands
From 1967-69, back when the American Football League was a separate league (before completing their merger with the NFL in 1970), the AFL and the NFL both had Thanksgiving double-headers, not at the same time, but as a combined quadruple-header. That's right, four games on TV, one after the other.
Yeah, but they aren't religiously played every year and know who is in them. Thanksgiving started out as one game, went to two, then three and you know the lions and cowboys are in it every year. Halloween could be any day of the week same with X mas and could be any team, plus nothing special happens or has, well I'm sure some records are held, but same could be said for any other week. I think Wild card, divisional round, conference champ round, SB and pro bowl would be funner like how the pro bowl was after the SB. How TB has broke almost if not every post season record the only one he probably doesn't hold is pro bowl records, but it's cause he probably went to a couple or so.
Garrett won that game. I remember that. People said because Aikman was out they would lose that game and could lose the playoff home field advantage if they lost that game. It didn't happen. That should be a good memory.
The story of Clint Longley’s departure from Dallas is worth a look it should make you chuckle. And the unquestioned NFL one game wonder is Timmy Smith a distant second is Larry Brown.
Thanks, I appreciate this! You made a very nice video which was entertaining and detailed. I'm looking forward to this year's games. Happy Thanksgiving!
@Jerry Junior stop playin yall are getting exposed for the frauds you like that Jets or Pats game how could yall be 0-2 against the worst division in the league

Yeah this has got to be one of the best football traditions ever, it should just be called "Lions lose" day because no matter what they gonna lose. Now that's a tradition.
NFL is easily the best at doing thanksgiving games because there’s nothing better than watching one of the greatest sports of all time NFL and eating some turkey and Mac and cheese and other thanksgiving goodies and I always love the Lions and Bears game tradition games
One of the best Thanksgiving plays that never gets mentioned is in Cowboys-Saints 2010. Late in the 4th, the Cowboys lead by 4. Cowboys throw a pass over the middle that goes for a lot of extra yardage but Malcolm Jenkins still wants to win so he just steals the ball from Roy Williams, takes it right out of his arm. Saints go on to score a touchdown and win the game. Great effort play that doesn't get the credit it deserves in this type of video because it didn't happen in the 80s.
7:33--I also remember Lion Leonard Thompson knocking out Giant punt returner Leon Bright with a forearm to Bright's head--BEFORE Bright received the ball. Bright was unconscious for several minutes and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.
I was at that '93 game. My boss and I drove overnight from South Florida to get there. Afterwards, we had a great Thanksgiving dinner with my family who lived in the Dallas area.
I believe Don Shula was the DC of that Lions defense that shut down Lombardi's Packers on Thanksgiving in 1962. That may have been a big factor in him getting the Baltimore Colts HC job in 1963

@Hector Rodriguez definitely know the feeling
Hector Rodriguez unless your team is getting annihilated ( I’m a cowboys fan )
The Vikings cowboys game with rookie Randy Moss going for 3 catches 3 tds for 163 yards will always be the most iconic thanksgiving moment!
