Rules at the time were different. Judgement call was allowed by ref. Pushing a player out of bounds while they were in the air was still a TD if the ref felt he would have come down in bounds without the push. You can see the ref making that gesture to another ref during that call. Irving knew the rule, he likely would have run a slightly more shallow route or tried harder to get both feet in if it was today's rules. Irving knew he could come down in bounds from there, and he knew that if he didnt it would be because he was pushed, so it will still be a TD. He was only out by 2 inches on that push that moved him 2 feet.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y oh that's not true but it's close. darrell absolutely removed receivers from the game, just not every single receiver from every single game. deion was better in that regard but darrell blanked a lot of quality guys as well
Amazing time....lifelong Cowboys fan here.....28 was quite a story. Man he was fast. When 88 showed up he was like a junkyard dog trying to get the bone from 21 other players
@@BuzZoo It's been a long time, but I thought the force out rule only applied if the guy didn't touch a foot in-bounds first. If he touched a foot in-bounds, the rule didn't apply. Again, it's been a long time but I feel like the rule applied only if a receiver was clearly going to get two feet down and a defender knocked him out of mid-air. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but this actually happened to Art Monk in Super Bowl 26 where he was hit after he caught the ball and his second foot (his toes) hit the end-line and they reversed the TD ruling because his second foot wasn't in-bounds after he got hit. I think the refs just missed this because it was a regular season game and they didn't review things like that back then.
Someone told me that they had a "Force out" rule back then. What that means is if the receiver would have landed inbound without being pushed by the defender, then it's ruled a catch.
I remember Irvin being a tough matchup for Darrell Green. He had trouble handling Irvin's size and physicality. Funny how you really didn't get the isolated camera very often on the DB v WR matchup. Not like nowadays.
I wasn’t born back then so I really don’t know much about D.green but I know he was fast and I’ve been tryna find men coverage tape on him but can’t so I wanted to ask you was he good in men coverage was he as good as revis or prime time in men coverage?
@@certifiedjay7485 he was not like those guys you mentioned but the game was played a little differently back then. It wasn't as much of a isolated 1-on-1 thing for most of his career. That kind of football really came into play when Deion Sanders hit his heyday as a pro. Green was pretty solid in man coverage because he could run with anybody. However, a big body like Irvin was an issue because he could out position him for the ball.
I miss wen the redskins were good enough to put on Thanksgiving and the games meant something, most years since then we've been out of the playoff hunt by the 1st week in October 😕😕
This was the last time a Cowboys game was blacked out locally. Kroger bought the remaining tickets for the Saints game the next week and then after that they actually sold out for the Cardinals.
Hands down Irwin still couldn't burn Darrell Green - not even Jerry Rice and Randy Moss - he couldn't do Darrell like he did Adam Sandler in the Longest Yard
I'm thinking that the Guy that played for the Bears was the best...but, from what I know about... I'm going with Deon Sanders. If Darrell Green returned punts and Kicks... it'd be Darrell.
Darryl Green also didn't get called for several pass interference calls. Green always struggled against Irvin because Irvin knows how to use his body to shield Green from the ball.
Who’s here after watching dem boys get bounced from the playoffs again on the worst last play in the history of NFL? Watching Zeke get rag dolled and Dak throw 2 picks was great. Next year boys as always…
You can clearly see in these highlights right here that Darrel Green, as fast as he was because everyone talks about his 40 yard time, wasn't on Deion Sanders level as a cover corner!! Deion may of not had the fastest 40 time but his game speed was unmatched!! Michael Irvin had his way with Darrel Green, not only did he score a touchdown on him, he was running slants on him and catching the ball. When he tried that shit with Deion, Deion caught that shit and shut him down!! He only made catches when Deion wasn't covering him. Darrel Green was still the fastest man in the league at this time but you can see the difference when you match them up and Deion is by far a much better cover corner, not even a debate!!
This is complete bullshit. Green was not just better than Sanders...it wasn't really close. Just go look at the numbers that primary receivers got during games against Washington. Green would go man to man and let the rest of the secondary play zone. He would shut down his man and that left other player many more interception chances. Sanders was more of a zone coverage guy and looked for the interception more. Look at Green vs Jerry Rice numbers and compare them to the numbers Rice averaged in his other games. You'll see who the GOAT is.
Green my fave corner of all time..hes from my city of houston.. rod Woodson, champ Bailey,aneasas Williams, are my favorites..replace revis with Williams

I miss this guy
Darrell Green is the greatest Redskin ever. All Class. Great battles against Irvin. Amazing football.
And over the years Irvin and Green have had some intense battles, that was one of the more physical ones
Green held Irvin in check. The only big play Irvin got was that TD which should have been ruled out of bounds because Irvin didn't get both feet in.

What a great rivalry and matchup. This is everything football isn’t now a days. The 90s were one of the best eras of football
2000s?
I vaguely remember laying on the floor after eating way too much, half asleep in Colorado Springs watching this game.
It appeared Micheal Irvin did NOT get his second foot in bounds during TD. At least according to present day rules. Final Was17 Dal 23
Amazing time....lifelong Cowboys fan here.....28 was quite a story. Man he was fast. When 88 showed up he was like a junkyard dog trying to get the bone from 21 other players
Irvine was out of bounds on the td catch.
Different rules back then
Shouldn't the Touchdown have been ruled out of bounds?
Tim Vogler yea his foot was out but rules weren't implemented in those days to review every touchdown or turnover
No, they had a "force out" rule back then. If they are deemed they would have landed inbounds without the push from the defender then it's a catch.
@@BuzZoo The more you know!
@@BuzZoo I am glad they changed that rule because it
was a horrible rule.

Yup, Force Out rules were still in effect in 1990. They only just recently removed it and said you had to get two feet down no matter what.
Please I need more Michael irvin this was great
Irvs TD his 2nd foot was out of bounds. Idk if the rules were different back then though.

Today that Irvin td would’ve been called back lol
Hands down Irwin still couldn't burn Darrell Green - not even Jerry Rice and Randy Moss - he couldn't do Darrell like he did Adam Sandler in the Longest Yard
Yes he can check the 91 highlights
It’s funny
That first Irvin touchdown wouldn’t be ruled a touchdown in today’s league I don’t think
He only got one football down bc he got pushed out
I'm thinking that the Guy that played for the Bears was the best...but, from what I know about... I'm going with Deon Sanders. If Darrell Green returned punts and Kicks... it'd be Darrell.
He did return punts
At the 2:14 mark we can see Michael Irvin stepping out of bounds. He got a TD he didn't deserve in this play.
It was a td. The rules were different back then concerning push outs
2:12 we can all see his right foot is out of bounds, right?
Back then if he's pushed out of bounds it's counted as "in"
They changed this sometime around 2006 i think
No touchdown he didn't get both feet in
Darell Greene shut him down completely. TD didn't count he only got 1 foot in.
Darryl Green also didn't get called for several pass interference calls. Green always struggled against Irvin because Irvin knows how to use his body to shield Green from the ball.
Irvin didn't get both feet down on that TD
God, Irvin was one of the most annoying players to ever play
Hilariously false now go cry somewhere else.

Why do people call Deion a cover corner? Isn't the corner back's job to cover their mand and feild?
Yes im studying his technique its not that good
On a different note I nominate Rypien as the worst QB to win a Super Bowl, Some will say Dilfer, but i disagree.
maybe worst overall but he was absolutely unconscious that year
