I miss these days.. This was real football! John Madden and Pat Summerall calling the game.. Pure Classic..
No doubt about it
I was just a baby and i have to say im happy about that like damn it was like watching it through a potato filmed by a potato it was like witnessing the Dark ages
@@joshuabranson74 "Dark Ages" or not,STILL a great game!!
They was amazing
YOU BET!!!
Wow... the players in this game! Aikman, Smith, Irvin, Haley, Taylor in HOF... Dan Reeves (coached in 4 Super Bowls), Jimmy Johnson (National Championship and 2 Super Bowls). Phil Simms in last regular season game. Howard Cross would play in Super Bowl XXV and XXXV. Armstead and Strahan (rookie this season but did not play in this game, eventual HOF) would lead Giants to playoffs in ‘97 and to Super Bowl XXXV. Strahan of course, would team with Eli Manning to win XLII.
LT with last regular season sack in historic and legendary career.
Moose, Novacek, McCaffrey, Meggett, Hampton, Jumbo... all pro bowlers.
And of course, the legends of Pat Summerall and John Madden on CBS.
Wow! Historic game.
Good point fr facts
Larry Allen also in the Hall. Yup...just an embarrassment of riches.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 future HOF Guard Larry Allen became a 1994 Cowboys draft pick.
When did they move to FOX 94 or 95 I remember Most cowboys games of the 90s where mostly on FoX and announced by Madden and Pat
I watched it live
I remember this game like it was yesterday. I especially remember players having to help Smith up after each play in overtime. He carried the load with a separated shoulder. Dallas needed this win to lock up home field throughout the playoffs and #22 put the offense on his back. John Madden never visited locker rooms after games but on this day he went down and found Smith and told him this was the gutsiest performance he’d ever seen.
The good ol days of football! Madden and summerall is pure gold!
jalos012 yes real football.
Yes I love them two together
You know Summerall was drinking during the telecast
YOU BET!!!
Even before Madden when Summerall teamed with Tom Brookshier that was a great combo too.
Barry had better moves and there were backs with more speed but Emmitt was as tough as they come, rarely fumbled, picked up blitzes, caught passes out of the backfield and was a warrior - someone you want to go to war with every week.
Barry and Emmitt owned the 90s. I'm a Detroit native so I'm rolling with Barry but Emmitt was a straight beast and a hell of a all around running back.
One Play: Barry Sanders
One Game: Walter Payton
Career: Emmitt Smith
Barry was a great pure runner, the Gale Sayers of my generation. To me the best 3 RB's that come to mind are Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Emmitt Smith, because as well as they carried the ball, they also excelled in pass protection, and catching the ball out of the backfield. Honorable mention to Marshall Faulk, the Lenny Moore of my generation, who could run precise WR routes and could go 80 on you at anytime.
@@johngoldsmith9752 emmitt smith had the best balance of any rb all time
@@6lacier and vision. The line was talented, but they look even better when the back can "feel" 2 seconds into the future.
I think this was the game that truly made me fall in love with Emmitt Smith and The Dallas Cowboys. I'll always remember this game where he gave everything he had literally with 1 arm!!!!!
How about Lawrence Taylor against the Saints
I used to hate the Cowboys, but I still miss watching Emmit Smith!
I am 60years young now and those 90s cowboys was the best team ever put together. Offense and defense. I surely miss those days.
Yup, especially when there wasn't a Salary cap. So they could throw money around alot more freely.
Wait, you're 60 years old, and you missed out on 20 years of the Patriots dominating the national football league? The Patriots that never lost to the cowboys? The Patriots that had two 22-game win streaks? A 16-0 regular season? 6 super bowls! You can thank your lucky stars they were not around on the 90s, or you would not have these false memories! Don't let your nostalgia blind you!
@@brentmichael4770patriots had a better overall run but the 92&93 cowboys were better than any team the patriots had including that 07 team that lost Super Bowl. Their defense was too old n would have gotten battered in the running game vs Dallas.
All of football was better before free agency. This was like the last year when teams were really teams and it took years to build a program. When you could have hall of fame players on the bench because some teams were so good at deep and positions. Football will never be the same as it was back then.
Emmitt Smith showed he had the heart of a champion in this game!
Emmitt Smith was one of the best but also the toughest RBs in the NFL !
Sidney Eubanks I had to be the 22th like! 🙌🏼🔥
@@johnshea0905 no one asked
Not tough like John Riggins was. The Diesel.
@@lawrence5039Emmitt was every bit as tough as Riggins, but Riggins was the size of a small offense guard lol! It was unreal watching the Diesel run over, through, and around people. I was a Cowboys fan, so of course I was obligated to hate him as much as he hated Dallas lol, but I loved his running style.
If there's a game that can define one player, it's this one and Emmitt Smith. You could never question his desire and toughness.
I’m a huge cowboys and emmitt fan. But let’s not forget about the original kellen winslows performance
I'm glad you put this highlights package up. It's one of Emmitt's signature games and one of his gutsiest performances.
Grow up
@@mamzersdream1 I don't know what crawled up your butt but instead of hurling an insult maybe you could tell me what I said that deserves a "grow up".?
@@SPTO yeh, one of the strangest youtube comments i've ever seen
They Cowboys is my Team, and I am very fond of Hershell, and Emitt Smith, but Barry Sanders is way better, explosive, smart, and has more of the wiggle and wet bass effect to break tackles.... in a sense quicker, I saw several plays here where defensive backs caught up to Emitt very quickly, that was not so evident with Barry Sanders.
@@MiguelTiempos the fact that Sanders had better physical tools but Emmitt Smith had more yards, touchdowns, and success just proves Emmitt was the better back all around! Sanders was genetically gifted the physical talent he had, Emmitt succeeded on will and skill as a runner, blocker, and receiver. Sanders played on some really good Lions teams but he disappeared in the playoffs against better competition. Emmitt in the other hand played great against the best the NFL had to offer in his division and in the playoffs.
Any man tough enough to play his best game with a separated shoulder can drink from my canteen any day.
WiperHunter:👍🍺🍺🍺.
When Emmitt Smith reentered the game with a separated shoulder, the Giants did not test him to see just how bad his shoulder actually was
I miss Pat Summerall calling games 😭
Do you miss Pat or an earlier time in your life?
Football Enthusiast believe it or not, so do I.
🎩🌟🌟🌟🌟delomejor🌟
Pokémon Outtakes oe
Rob Johnson good point . Probably more just missing an earlier time . But Pat S was a great announcer . The team of Joe Buck and Aikman is great , but not quite on the level of Summerall and Madden in terms of bringing life to the game
Pat Sumeral ( R.I.P.), probably the best Nfl broadcaster of all times. The good all days of NFL.
Dick Enberg too
He had a great voice but his super bowl call for the end of the first Patriots superbowl win was absolutely terrible. Like he had no idea what that game winning kick meant.
What a great era for the NFL, the glory days of the NFC East.
This is my favorite Cowboys vs Giants rivalry game and Emmitt Smith did beat the Giants in their own game and I love it
Been watching alot of older nfl games and the intensity and atmosphere was crazy. No over officiating just grown men going at it
That's why it's almost impossible to watch today's NFL circus and glam show.
This bring back great memories!! Wish I could rewind my life til back then and start over
DON'T WE ALL !!!!! (and know what you know now!!) you would be unstoppable !!!!!!!!!!!
Well said my friend.
That was one tough match up- I had forgotten how close that game was and Emmitt was clutch!
There are points in the game when you can look at Emmitt and tell that he's hoping nobody hits his right shoulder. He still didn't shy away from contact, though.
"Gutsy" performance, by definition
The Giants did not test Smith's shoulder. The should've gang tackled him, fall on him when he was on the ground
I hate the Cowshits but emmit was a beast
That was all heart. Something today's players don't have. It's all about the business decision..
Yes I saw him on one pass play where he was hit once and he seem to be like yup I'm just gonna go down and only take that one hit.
There will never be another duo as dynamic as Pat and John...The good old days are long gone...
Or as dynamic as Troy & Emmitt
I miss these days too. Was a tougher, run oriented game back then. That Dallas O-line was DOMINANT.
This is the game that solidified Emmitt Smith as not only my favorite Triplet, but also my favorite NFL Player of all time.
13:01 "They say Emmitt Smith makes too much money...
You get under those shoulder pads and tell me who makes too much money! This is what great football players get paid a lot of money for."
What an epic performance! This is when Emmitt transcended all other backs of his time and became an all time great! He had more heart than any of them. What a legend!
u cant say it any better than that amigo
Real shoulder pads. Not these scrawny little pads they wear now.
For a running back this is the ultimate triple crown. Winning the rushing title, winning the NFL MVP, and then winning the Super Bowl MVP. Emmitt did all of that. Even as great as Terrell Davis was for those 4 years, he never accomplished that triple crown.
Nothing like listening to the duo of Pat Summerall & John Madden calling NFL Action
Great point classic call Pat Summerall & John Madden love that area of The NFL classic classic thanx for new technology relive these great call
You knew they were going to call the NFC game nothing like that game back in the day.
I would go back to these days in a minute, Madden, Aikman, Emmitt, Ervin, old school football.
GO COWBOYS !!!!!
Emmitt Smith is a legend
Many people do not give Emmitt Smith credit for being a damn good receiving runningback.
This was the day Emmitt Smith forever earned my respect as a Giants fan. One of the gutsiest performances I’ve ever seen.
As a lifelong Cowboys fan (since the days of Staubach), I appreciate you saying that.
Man...I still remember my uncle (who is 6’5) jumping up and hitting his head on the drop ceiling about 3 times in a row after the Giants recovered that muffed punt, while yelling in pure excitement. Whole house was going wild in that second half. The build up to that game all week made it feel like the biggest thing ever to me at the time. Tough loss, but a heck of a football game.
If the Giants win that game they likely would have won the Superbowl. I doubt the 49ers would have beaten them in New York.
This is the definitive Emmitt Smith game. Sure, there were other games where he gained more yards and had longer runs, but if someone asked me "Who was Emmitt Smith?", I'd show them this game.
Emmitt played the entire second half and OT with a separated shoulder. Incredible
No politics and class acts on the field. This was a GREAT time to be a football fan.
The two voices of my football youth. I will always cherish those times. Thanks for the reminder video.
Fans in the Meadowlands yelling, "Mooooooooose" at 4:20, means they had a lot of respect for Darryl Johnston....!
THE Greatest Of All Time!!! 22!! 220+ All-Purpose Yards on 1 arm!!! And won MVP!!! (Regular Season & Super Bowl) Wasn't Even His Best Season!!! Top That!!!
Madden pointed out that both Backs gained over a hundred yards, which is rare. Both Backs, both teams came to Ball. Offenses & Defenses on both teams came to play.. . Big D prevailing. Great rivalry in the 90s.
In hindsight, LT really lifted the team to being a top tier, then the Dallas team challenged them, and themselves became the top tier
No show boating just pure football. "Legendary" even the commentary
Yeah… They literally had to pass a rule called the Emmitt Smith rule which prevented you from pulling your helmet off and celebrating on the field. Deion sanders played at the time you’re talking about. The Super Bowl shuffle was over a half a decade old already. Get out of here with “no showboating.” Especially in a game that features Michael freaking Irvin.
@@evilsWa
Deion didn't even come to the Dallas Cowboys until 95. In 93 Jimmy Johnson didn't play that showboating crap. And when they made that rule it was later in his career. 96 was when Smith and Irving was hit with the new rule in Arizona
@@pushaman07 Dawg, Jimmy Johnson PROMOTED showboating! He coached Mike Irvin in college! What is this hatred you people have against guys having fun? It's enterfuckingtainment! I bet you like pitchers throwing at batters if they take too long to run the bases after a homer...
Keep your Chiefs-Rams video game scores all day. Cowboys-Giants dueling it out for every point with Madden and Summerall calling... that's the best regular season game of all time.
Great game, not the best regular season game of all time.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Right! Bills-Browns was!!! 😊😉😉😁.
Most "fans" only care about offensive plays because these plays are easy to understand. Defensive plays, especially when it is not a turnover, take much more experience to understand why it is a great play.
I watched this game in real time. The day i fully fell in love with #22. I dont care what ppl say....Emmitt Smith is the GREATEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME...
Yes I've seen Barry and i love him and Emmitt battles but im not trading Emmitts tough ass for NOBODY....if only new all the things tht was on the line THAT DAY.
Want the ESSENCE of this game?
@12:37 Summerall with the call:
"Here's Emmitt Smith......Eeeeemitt Smiiith,.........
Smith HAMMERS to the 25."
Man with a broken shoulder, is blasting, POWERING inside for guts yardage.
Guts.
The greatest offensive performance Ive ever seen, and it was such a money situation!
Smith covered himself in glory on this day, his SIGNATURE game engraved in gold.
THIS is football, like it ought to be.
Emmitt Smith the GREATEST running back ever any doubt just watch this Warrior do his thing "HURT" in this game
As much as I hated Emmitt Smith, I gained a ton of respect for his toughness after this game
@Typical Boy I'm a Giants fan
49er can who hated him too. Mostly because I feared him
As a Cowboy I had to respect Darryl Greene . Talent gets respect
Why did you "hate" him?
Sup bad dog my brotha (518) lol
Emmitt was a FORCE in this game--showing everyone that he was not only skilled, but physically and mentally tough!
But I also found it amusing to hear the "Moose" call in NY.
You can tell Emmitt was hurt in this footage, but where are the myriad times his lineman popped his shoulder back in place between plays? They did it several times right out on the field so Emmitt wouldn't have to miss a down. Tough? YES! Video? No!
One of the great NFL regular season games remember watching this as if it was yesterday
Emmitt Smith = IRON/STEEL LEVEL "TOUGHNESS".....Period🏈👊💪🤔!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To me this was the end of the rivalry until Eli and Romo came along in relation to longevity and the importance of games between the two teams.
This was LT and Simms last game playing against them and Carl Banks was gone the year before.
Giants just weren’t the same for a few seasons and then when the Giants became relevant again, the Cowboys weren’t the same team.
I was blessed to watch two of the more indelible games in my NFL childhood on this day. The first was this all time regular season classic. The second was the last signature regular season win of the Los Angeles Raiders, who came back from 30-13 down to the Broncos to win 33-30 and make the playoffs. But Emmitt absolutely earned the MVP with this performance. The last vestiges of what the NFL was for me as a kid, with Madden and Summerall calling a physical NFC game on CBS.
Emmitt played that entire game almost with a dislocated shoulder
Emmit showed unreal toughness. This was like a playoff game. They don't win it that year without this game.
One of the great games in history.
The game that showed how physical and mental tough those cowboys team was
I have this game on VHS. Other than our first championship win over San Francisco, this is by far the best cowboys game I've ever seen. Emmitt after holding out the first 2 games not only won the rushing title but also NFL player of the year. Bill Parcel and Chad Gailey are the only coaches that came close to Jimmy Johnson talent. What a team we had back then...
Hard fought game, even though the big dawgs of the nfc East were now the Cowboys, Mark Tuinei, Jim Jeffcoat, Bill Bates, Michael Irvin, Ken Norton, Kevin Gogan, Nate Newton, and Bill Bates were all holdovers from the Landry era. Interesting seeing them play against what was left from the Parcells era players, such as Lawrence Taylor, Phil Simms, Howard Cross, Dave Meggett, Rodney Hampton, Erik Howard, Bart Oates, Jumbo Elliot, etc.
MAN,I can watch these games ALL day LONG!! Love the NFL!!! 👍👍👍👍.
Boycott the NFL!!!
@@2099ramirez Go ahead!! 😒😒😒.No sweat to me! Boycott ALL you want!! It won't hinder me at all!!! 😑😒😒.
They always credit that o-line...the one that didn't make Derrick Lassic or Lincoln Coleman or Tommie Agee or Curvin Richards 4 ypc rushers. None of his backups from 1992-1994 averaged 4 yards a carry, but Emmitt was 'carried' by his o-line. If that was the case, his holdout would've blown up in his face and Dallas would've rolled to the title in 1993 without him. Dude was the heart and soul of that entire team.
NFC East, Overtime, Madden and Summerall. The NFL will never be this good again.
Madden came out of the booth and went down to the locker room and told Emmitt this was the greatest game he had ever seen! Totally the highest praise comin from a coach and probably one the best to do it in the booth
I remember that game like it was yesterday.
I would go to these games with my pop who had season tickets & they were the greatest days of my life growing up! How I miss these days & would give anything for one more live game with him
Man I miss these days
Remember the Cowboy Giant game when the first time Emmit touched the ball he went for a 65 yard TD? I think it was a Monday night game as well. I was in my early to mid 20's back then. I loved the NFL. I didn't even watch the Super Bowl yesterday, only watch college now. I love Auburn Tigers and don't care about anything else....
I was a sophomore in college in Pittsburgh and this game was blacked out!! Of course, my friend who was living in DC, who hated the Cowboys praised Emmitt Smith and said he gained a new respect for him.
Troy with that silky smooth footwork and release!
He fell on 2 handoffs...
Love watching the old Cowboys games. They were such a fun team to watch. So much talent.
This is the year that Emmitt had to hold out the first 2 games to get a fair contract.. Definitely proved he was worth every penny of the new contract and more.
I know Dallas lost both of thoses games and I think they won the rest when he came back.
Keep these videos coming. This is the best channel for watching these old school games.
There may have been better running backs than Emmitt Smith, but he was one of the toughest and most competitive.
Very nice format to see all the important plays!!! Madden and Summerall are a dynamic duo!!! Madden is the Hoss though!!!
Best two people to announce a sporting event.Thanks you for your professionalism.
Emmitts the GOAT of RBs and this game is a good demonstration of why ...
He's goat of running backs and played for Florida gators
I love these Giants Jerseys
Pedro Henrique same
And the helmets 🏈🏈🏈😊👍
Not a Cowboys fan, but I became a Emmitt Smith fan after watching him playing with an injured shoulder.
Classic game HOF performance from Emmitt but give respect to the Giants they were solid and they played about as physical as you can against Emmitt but I hope people can see why 22 was so great he took the challenge head on and ran just as physical as they played him awesome game this is football right here no disrespect to all that dancing elusive crap
The Cowboys werepretty much dominating the giants in this game,but when Kevin Williams tried to grab that partially blocked punt and fumbled it,things started to turn.Classic game i was fortunate to be at with a ton of other Cowboys fans.
These videos bring back great memories.
Nice production job as usual. Interesting to compare the minimalist graphic usage from 1993 vs. the 'information overload' of the current graphics normality.
This was the last year they turned the score off during plays before the scoreboard became permanent in 1994
@@TheLocalLt Too bad.😔😔😔.
They really couldn't win w/o Emmitt. Incredible how the momentum swung so much around one player.
I didn't think you guys would actually do it thanks a lot throwback
Emmitt Smith! Wow! I'm not sure if there is another player that has an entire game named after him?! Those were the days . . . Smash Mouth Football at its absolute best!
I’ll never forget this game as long as I live. I was in the Navy in Brunswick, Maine watching it from my berthing while part of a P3 Squadron (VP-11). I was a nervous reck watching that game.
I love when people try to hate on the G.O.A.T RB of all-time: EMMIT SMITH
Don't think there is (or ever will be) a running back better than Emmitt Smith.
This was also Lawrence Taylor's last game, so that's another wrinkle of significance to this game.
One of last NFL on CBS games in NFC era too, and last Regular Season one with Pat and John doing it.
Well, his last regular season game. The Giants would beat Minnesota 17-10 in the wild card game, then go on to get destroyed 44-3 by The 49ers. That was L.T.'s last game
I don't think a single regular season game deserved to be on the NFL Top 100 games list. This game is a rare exception. It had everything. Easily a Top 50 game of all time.
From a person who’s suffered from multiple shoulder separations (both shoulders) and being a fan of the Cowboys, I always come back to this game for motivation. Especially after I’ve had them repaired surgically. DC4L!
Simms and LT retired after 93 season. Sadly, Their last game was 44-3 beatdown in SF for divisional playoff.
I don't think any team today could compete with either of these teams.
What a tremendous game!!!! The Giants defense played about as hard as a unit can play. This was the great Lawrence Taylor's last game as a professional before he retired, and he made an impact, too!! I'd be remiss without mentioning Emmit Smith and the great impact he had on this game - particularly in the first half, building Dallas' lead up to 13 - 0 at halftime - he really ran with some reckless abandon, getting crucial yards time after time!! Pat Summerall and John Madden apply the cherry on top as the outstanding broadcaster and analyst duo for the football fan at home. It doesn't get much better than this as an NFL classic!!!
The all time great Emmitt Smith took blow after blow and kept on going. What a great runner! Maybe Derrick Henry the next Emmitt Smith? Time will tell.
Somebody like D. Johnston blocking for you definitely increases your chances to get to the second level for sure. This is one of my favorite backfield of all time
Yep. Moose and Lorenzo Neal were the two best blocking fullbacks I've ever seen.
@@Supermanfan99 absolutely!
Moose was very good receiver. I remember several times troy; having nobody open, dumping it off to him and rarely did he drop a pass
I was 26 and had a 71' SS Monte Carlo back then.I will say this; I was very grateful
I worked with a kid who went to high school with him in Pensacola, Florida. He said they never lost a game.
Emmitt had a huge heart! Remember the Giants game when he played with a hurt shoulder? 160 plus yards with winner advancing in playoffs. He played the whole game with one arm! Huge heart!
The video you commented on IS the Giants game where he played with a hurt shoulder, ha ha
Rest In Paradise to the two best...Pat Summerall and John Madden
Nice to stumble upon this 25 years to the date!
The game that defined Emmitt Smith (when he played with one arm) and guaranteed his entry into the Hall of Fame. How “bout that Cowboy?! That game got the Cowboys the “bye” and they rolled through the playoffs and to the Super Bowl and a win! That team had a “Swag”, but they backed it up. They would come in and tell you they were going to whip your behind and would do it. Some people called it bragging, but to paraphrase Mohammad Ali: “If you could say it and do it - it ain’t bragging!” Oh for the good old days.
But, that was a great team - loaded and so glad the Tripplets are all in the Hall of Fame. How ‘bout them Cowboys?!
One of my all-time favorite games
Jondavid Bristow: Same here!!
Please bring those yrs back😭😭😭😭😭I miss them😢😢😢😢
