I was grounded from tv for this game. Luckily my folks had a parent-teacher conference that night, so I got to see this. Shortly after this touchdown I heard the garage door open up. I turned everything off and scattered to my room. I'll never forget that night.
He had great vision and balance, never fumbled, picked up blitzes, was terrific catching passes, always played hurt, practiced like he played and was a great teammate and iron man - the guy you want to go to war with - more to a complete back than highlights. GOAT
@@MENFUSSMIKE I'm not gonna fully disagree, but let's not disregard his unpredictable running style, the spread offense and multiple 3 wide sets they ran at regularity, and the multiple draw plays and delayed hand-offs he was involved in.
@@MENFUSSMIKE People say that but Barry wasn't even used by the Lions in short yardage because he wasn't a reliable grind it out back. He either lost five yards or made three people miss and got on Sportscaster.
I was born in 2001, sadly I never got the watch emmitt or Barry Sanders, Dion, Dorsett, Or any other of the great legends. But from the film I've watched, Emmitt is by far, the best HB of all time.
This sort of thing is why I’m hesitant to compare players I saw to players I didn’t see. For example, I’m WAY too young (36) to have seen Jim Brown play, but although I get the idea he was much better than Emmitt, I guess I can’t confirm that.
That's exactly what I be trying to tell all of haters ,he destroyed at every level from little league to pro ,his offensive line did not make him........period.........he was a beast before any of them ever came around............period
Yeah, we had a great O-Line but Emmitt was a BEAST!!! One drive to go, Super Bowl and we need a score...no back I would rather have in my backfield than Duece-Duece!!!!
Nate Newton said it best. "Before Emmitt got here, we were all journeymen that needed to go. After Emmitt got here, we were All-Pro." Emmitt is the greatest ever and I don't think it's very close.
He led the league in rushing that year and he just did that to that season's Super Bowl champs...he ascends to super stardom and then Dallas wins 3 of the next 4 Super Bowls...last golden age for Cowboy fans.
Look at that amazing offensive line do all the work.......that's sarcasm by the way. Emmitt is easily the most skilled RB to ever play football. Nate Newton said it best when he said "we were all journeymen, that nobody wanted, before Emmitt arrived and then all of a sudden we were all pro"
Yep Tuinei, Gogan and Newton were all Landry Era pickups and along with the last years of Tom Rafferty (one of the best centers to play football in the 70s and 80s) were called one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL until Emmitt Smith came to town.
I’ve heard a lot of things said about Emmitt from football fans to NFL players. He’s not fast, not big, not as good as Barry but for a guy labeled with a lot of not’s he sure did things great! Some idiots give all the credit to the offensive line and they were great but other running backs came into the game and they didn’t have that success. He was the best and that rushing title agrees.
More the half those O Linemen blocked for Dorsett and Walker too and nobody was talking about how great they were blocking for them. In fact they were called one of the worst lines in the NFL.
The irony is that the Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys' opponent on this Monday Night, not only rallied to win this particular game, but they went on to win the Super Bowl in 1991. The Redskins lost just two games all that year. One of them was to the Cowboys in Washington--after starting the season 11-0. Emmitt Smith rushed for 132 yards in that contest.
Emmitt's last 100 yard game as a Cowboy came against Washington too, Thanksgiving of 2002. In 1989 the Cowboys lone win came against Washington In 1988 Tom Landry's final win came against Washington During the awful 3 years of the Dave Campo era, something like 5 of the Cowboys 15 wins came against the Skins The Skins have been good to us.
Crazy how we have to say that for the all time rushing touchdown leader and all time rushing yardage leader. I mean nobody ever wants to give the man credit for all the work he did...
i mean, emmitt just glides and skates thru washington's defense on this play, it's beautiful. truly, a whirling dervish. it's so graceful and smooth. dan dierdorf is beside himself.
The cameras didn't catch Emmitt on the sideline "tossing his cookies" due to an energy drink Daryll Johnston had him drink before the game! Emmitt says Daryll told him "Drink it fast, it'll sit on your stomach if you don't!" After that run, it didn't sit long at all!!!
What age are you because Tony Dorsett,Roger Stabauch,Drew Pearson and that Cowboys Doomsday Defense made me a fan.Yeah Emmit and Irvin and Akiman we're great but Those Cowboys team back then we're really great.
I will always be a huge Barry Sanders fan, but Emmitt doesn't get the credit he deserves. You don't become the all time leading rusher by accident. And as this clip shows, it wasn't just because he had a great offensive line.
One of rare times I got really hyped!! I am usually quiet trying to watch the game but after seeing this run I got the feeling that Dallas is going to be good. I know they lost this game 33-31, but had Emmitt not got sick from running this long run, I believe Dallas wins, and Emmitt goes for 200 easy. They beat Washington the next time they played in RFK.
This was in 1991 - the year Washington won the SB. Dallas lost bad in the playoffs to Detroit that year but came back and won 3 of the next 4 championships. Man do I miss those days.
He had the stomach flu that game and he couldn't play the second half. He was puking his guts out and getting dehydrated. Washington came back to win. Smith had over a hundred yards in the first half.
I think Emmitt had gone over a hundred yards in the first half but he got sick for some reason after halftime which turned it into a passing game for the Cowboys which let the Redskins come back and win. If it hadn't been for that, the Cowboys would have swept the Redskins that year.
So many people like to reduce Emmitt Smith by saying he just had a good O line. NONE of that O line is in the HOF except Larry Allen. Emmitt did not play with a HOF line. Think about that.
Yep. There are a couple Cowboys who have been absolutely disrespected by the hall of fame, mainly Chuck Howley and Harvey Martin (it’s embarrassing LC Greenwood is getting a push ahead of Martin whose statistics are far superior). Of course the Broncos get hosed too.
Zeke got no heart. He doesn't come in in shape. I think his best years are already behind him. Wish we didn't waste the money for long term deal. Pollard has way more pop. Zeke is just plodding ready to fall and stumble. No burst anymore. Hope I'm wrong but that's what I see.
@@wood4278 Ok I will name them.Tony Dorsett,Walter Payton,Barry Sanders,Eric Dickerson who still has the all time rushing yards in a single season which no back has broken yet.
@@fredwalker6987 18,355 career yards 175 Career T.D.'s Emmitt Smith has...on that list you just said who has equal or more...I'll wait for your answer...Conversation "OVER"
"Sloppy tackling"? I guess. It's Emmitt Smith though. He put some serious moves on those guys and along with good blocking, nobody really had a chance to wrap him up. Was more great execution by Dallas than the D blowing it imo. All those guys flying around trying to get an angle on him was funny.
The difference between Dorsett and Smith. Dorsett was much faster and a more fluid natural runner. BUT, Smith was MUCH tougher and broke out of tackles far more often. While Dorsett would try to outrun Green, Smith would simply brush green off like a piece of shit and make green look like a fool. Check out the 1990 Thanksgiving day run. Green caught up to Smith like he did with Dorsett in 1993. Green took Dorsett down but Smith brushed Green away. Dorsett was faster but Smith was overall more effective.
If it had been TD he would have been in the end zone 4 seconds sooner and after the first wave of. Deadskins you wouldn't have seen another one anywhere in the picture
Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.

Yes sir!!! Zeke is the same way!!!! Imagine if Zeke had the O line Emmit had....lol
I miss those charge sounds and the other original music they used to play at texas stadium
One word sums up Emmitt Smith: Winner.
Heart!!!!
I was born in 2001, sadly I never got the watch emmitt or Barry Sanders, Dion, Dorsett, Or any other of the great legends. But from the film I've watched, Emmitt is by far, the best HB of all time.
Chance Collins man I was born 8 years later
+Joey COCO quit lying
Always wanted to have seen guys like Bobby Lane, and Otto Graham play...I'm 70, so don't be sad...
You need to check out Earl Campbell highlights some time on youtube.
The man was a BEAST!!!
This sort of thing is why I’m hesitant to compare players I saw to players I didn’t see. For example, I’m WAY too young (36) to have seen Jim Brown play, but although I get the idea he was much better than Emmitt, I guess I can’t confirm that.
If you look at Emmitt's entire career as a football player. He has been a winner at every level!
That's exactly what I be trying to tell all of haters ,he destroyed at every level from little league to pro ,his offensive line did not make him........period.........he was a beast before any of them ever came around............period
This is when I knew things were gonna be different in Dallas for the coming years
Great run by Smith and believe it or not, this was the last year that Washington went to the Superbowl and won.
Wait haters say Emmitt never gets touched.
My favorite RB of all time.
He looked like Dorset on that run
I roll slant 24 I formation roll blocking 2 back through the 4 hole
I said the same thing
Congratulations to Jimmy Johnson on the HOF!!!!
But y’all say it was all his offensive line. Man, gtfoh. Look at the spin after contact.
Yeah, we had a great O-Line but Emmitt was a BEAST!!! One drive to go, Super Bowl and we need a score...no back I would rather have in my backfield than Duece-Duece!!!!
As Marcus Allen once said about emmitt sure he has a good offensive line but emmitt still had 2 the rest
Nate Newton said it best. "Before Emmitt got here, we were all journeymen that needed to go. After Emmitt got here, we were All-Pro." Emmitt is the greatest ever and I don't think it's very close.
He wouldn’t of done squat with Barry Sanders line
@@Methadone4Life More than Barry Sanders?
Hey Ezeckile, see how Emitt breaks tackles and has long touch down runs, how come you don't? lol
He led the league in rushing that year and he just did that to that season's Super Bowl champs...he ascends to super stardom and then Dallas wins 3 of the next 4 Super Bowls...last golden age for Cowboy fans.
The only rushing leader to ever win a Super Bowl... (at least at that time, maybe somebody else has done it since then I don't care enough to check)
Damn that burst he had was insane
barry who, great run legend.
This is when Football was fun to watch, not the New England Cheatriots

Good ole Texas Stadium
I sure miss going to games there
Great memories of the craftiest back of all time.
GOAT
Sometimes i say barry is goat but damn that emmitt lol
The offensive line did this too I guess. He was great all around
Exactly 😂😂😂 the offensive line carried Emmitt Smith 75 yards down the field.
I’ve heard a lot of things said about Emmitt from football fans to NFL players. He’s not fast, not big, not as good as Barry but for a guy labeled with a lot of not’s he sure did things great!

As a 45 year Cowboys fan I really miss these days! Emmitt was a monster on the field!! DC4L
Emmit and Tony Dorestt are the best Cowboy backs of all time.Sorry Zeke.
Back when football was great and so were the players. No "I did that all by myself" attitudes. Loved the Cowboys back then too
And no kneeling during the anthem.

jjman9 the real irony is how many people misuse the word irony
emmitt was the best
Exactly 25 years ago today, What a play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Washington won the Super Bowl this year, but this was also the game Dallas showed it was clearly next in line to the throne.
Emmitt Smith was and is underrated .
Crazy how we have to say that for the all time rushing touchdown leader and all time rushing yardage leader. I mean nobody ever wants to give the man credit for all the work he did...
greatest running back of all-time. the only players i wanna hear about in a debate are jim brown and sweetness.
Stephen Velez thats the trinity
i mean, emmitt just glides and skates thru washington's defense on this play, it's beautiful. truly, a whirling dervish. it's so graceful and smooth. dan dierdorf is beside himself.
Stephen Velez sure does
only complete RBs need apply.
22steve5150 Lt was also very versatile
I remember when he was coming out of college, skeptics said he was not big enough 😎
I remember my silly self saying why draft him when you have Terrance Flagler!! Glad they didn’t listen to me!!😝😝
I remember that he wasn't fast enough. Compared to Blair Thomas' 4.2 40 time.
The cameras didn't catch Emmitt on the sideline "tossing his cookies" due to an energy drink Daryll Johnston had him drink before the game! Emmitt says Daryll told him "Drink it fast, it'll sit on your stomach if you don't!" After that run, it didn't sit long at all!!!
Byron Dotson yeah, that story was in his book, ‘The Emmitt Zone.’
Emmitt is the reason I became a Cowboys fan
What age are you because Tony Dorsett,Roger Stabauch,Drew Pearson and that Cowboys Doomsday Defense made me a fan.Yeah Emmit and Irvin and Akiman we're great but Those Cowboys team back then we're really great.
Emmitt is the GOAT of the RB's!! 🐐
YOU SEE HOW HE SWITCHED THE BALL INTO HID RIGHT HAND ?!
I remember he was throwing up after this run, he said it was a new drink but wouldn't name it (Powerade)
Simply the best!!!
I will always be a huge Barry Sanders fan, but Emmitt doesn't get the credit he deserves. You don't become the all time leading rusher by accident. And as this clip shows, it wasn't just because he had a great offensive line.

Ahh I miss those days 😢
I miss these Cowboys days. Thanks Jerry Jones. You robbed us of MULTIPLE SUPER BOWLS!
My Type Of Party !!!
Awesome!
Two questions. Did he break any tackles? Did he have enough speed to run away from defenders?
Zeek And Dak Need To Look At This This Is When We Were Champions
Emmit is the only thing that goes bye faster than time.🤠
Nice run
He had the stomach flu that game and he couldn't play the second half. He was puking his guts out and getting dehydrated. Washington came back to win. Smith had over a hundred yards in the first half.
he was fast out of the hole and he had some top end speed
Great times
I think Emmitt had gone over a hundred yards in the first half but he got sick for some reason after halftime which turned it into a passing game for the Cowboys which let the Redskins come back and win. If it hadn't been for that, the Cowboys would have swept the Redskins that year.
If I'm correct he got dehydrated and went into the training room for an IV
The good old days when the Cowboys kicked ass. Not anymore.
Kicking ass now
ikr. It's about time, the rookie are kicking butt.
Dallas would've won this game if Emmitt hadn't had to leave early(soon after the 75 yd TD run) because of some stomach bug
The stomach flu game. He ran all over the Skins but left after half because of the flu. He was the difference too. Dallas lost 33-31.
The longest TD run of Smith's career!
Tony Dorsetts longest run-99 yards- AWSOME.
Looked like 6 Skins down field couldn't stop him. That's wasn't O Line, that was Emmitt
Ironically, later that season, Washington would go to, and win, the Superbowl.
So many people like to reduce Emmitt Smith by saying he just had a good O line. NONE of that O line is in the HOF except Larry Allen. Emmitt did not play with a HOF line. Think about that.
The reason Emmitt doesn't get his due from a large amount of people is because he played for "Americas Team" plain and simple
Yep. There are a couple Cowboys who have been absolutely disrespected by the hall of fame, mainly Chuck Howley and Harvey Martin (it’s embarrassing LC Greenwood is getting a push ahead of Martin whose statistics are far superior). Of course the Broncos get hosed too.
Yeah and Drew Pearson is finally getting in It took the HOF that long to put him in? That is crazy.
What happen to Darrell Green on this play?
you ain't lying. I think elliott is like emmitt just bigger and faster hope he can have a hall of fame yr and we go back to the superbowl
he gotta avoid contact because the way he's going now he won't last 10 years
12BJJohnson emmitt took alot contact. and he was good for 15 seasons
12BJJohnson he mostly played in power formation
Zeke got no heart. He doesn't come in in shape. I think his best years are already behind him. Wish we didn't waste the money for long term deal. Pollard has way more pop. Zeke is just plodding ready to fall and stumble. No burst anymore. Hope I'm wrong but that's what I see.
The GREAT ONE.

As much as loved this game years ago, I'm really disappointed that it doesn't show Emmitt Smith doing his dance after he makes a Touch Down!
Emmitt never did those dances.
Isn't it great how every guy in the booth said "Redskins" without guilt?
This run made him sick. It was hot and he had drank some supplement that Moose gave him before the game. He missed most of the rest of the game.
