Randy Moss' Coming Out Party - Vikings vs. Packers (Week 5, 1998) Classic Highlights

[Applause] tonight the most attractive game of this young season is Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers meet the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings it's a matchup of the NFC's only remaining undefeated team on BBC's Sunday Night Football last season ended the Minnesota Vikings were a franchise in a state of flux the author Tom Clancy tried to buy the team couldn't put the deal together and in came a Texas billionaire by the name of red McCombs he bought the team and since then they've won all four preseason games all four regular-season games they've extended Dennis Greene's contract through 2001 he'll coach the team at least through then remember the last time a fan left Lambeau Field with a long face September 3rd 1995 since then the Green Bay Packers have won 25 regular season and four postseason games at home something gives tonight so second and 20 negating an 11-yard gain far get sacked taken down by Derrick Alexander their number one draft choice in 96 Randall Cunningham in his second season with Minnesota took over when Brad Johnson was hurt he's with him in the backfield Robert Smith over a thousand yards last year all edges the blocker Green and farther outside we'll see a lot of moss as well Glover the tight end susima can go Christy Dixon and Springer very good interior five that 10 and Cunningham launches one and there is Randy Moss there's a flag down for the moment it's a touchdown but there's a penalty marker down to the 19 yard line and this is coming back third down and 20 from the 15 yard line and rainbows little launch another one and it is Moss who can't make the catch single covered by Darren Sharper and there's another flag down up at the 38 yard line this was a third and 20 and it's going to go against the Packers often before he comes back absolutely third and seven and reward is the tailback they fake it to him and then the pants is caught by Carter who is dragged down by Tyrone Williams of the National Football League and this is a 33-yard attempt and he is still perfect 40-yard field goal attempt Ryan loved all the ball spotted at the 30-yard line the second year at a cow bangs it through second and ten early second quarter the game tied 3-3 Randall hangs in throws and it is caught Reed spinning around and avoiding the tackle and staying in bounds to score he broke a Craig Newsome tackle and Reid who's been the forgotten man a 56 yard reception for his first touchdown of the season in the action allotted Robert Smith catching screen passes but the big play tonight Cunningham to read it's ten to three burgers picked through the yard end by Rowell customer master 20 well with a big one back trying to stay [Applause] well Christian scores for the second time in a career that's only forward and his games old third down and two and that's for my corner flag his phone what a great job by Palmer of sticking his face in there I want some more money in pom-pom if I got to do that first down from the 40 [Applause] dan adjusting his muscle and then be more squeezes his way in for the touchdown it is unbelievable he just throws it up and these guys can't catch the football this is like a circus out here with these guys Randy Moss is the best young receiver that I have seen maybe ever Rhodes career playing against them from the 34 farm growing into a lot of traffic and intercepted by Orlando Thomas and Thomas takes it all the way back to the 35 43 yard line and Cunningham's going stupid that's how they have well he's number 90 and he does see with s or a 52-yard field goal they're gonna call forth and they don't get it Henderson so after a nine-yard gain on first down the Viking defense rises up watch Phase II Oh [Applause] again perfect throw great catch Darren Sharper was good coverage but what can he do against a defense like number one in the league coming into the weekend Nottingham to the end zone and that's knocked down and nearly intercepted and Newsom realizing he could have had the pick T storm in the neighborhood walls at 24 screen Smith gets a block picks up the first down heading for the end zone touchdown Minnesota they are plentiful third down and seven from the floor this train yard line fire escapes but not a second time and this time he is wrapped up by Derrick Alexander and he got away from John Randle Oh baby the 50-yard line everybody gets it away infighting wide open Chris Carter and a stutter step Mets in a huge game in the 15 yard long Anderson attempts of 25-yard field goal and that is second of the night kickoff return by Preston offensively they got a field goal here's an end-around this is Antonio Freeman inside of the thirty third down and two big play for Green Bay he gets the ball floated he had Freeman open but the dog floated on it and a Robert Griffith with the pickoff destroys a corners got absolutely third do it again only a three-man rush no pressure and the pass is caught by Carter only three linemen in a down stance and labels the swing attack she makes the catch and takes it to the ten yard line back into the game even after a field goal so here's Anderson to make a 17 point lead 20 points and second down at 13 it's a 505 we are flowing deep and it is Brooks trying to make the catch and it is picked off intercepted by Griffith the third Minnesota picked tonight something frazzled here this is Randall Cunningham he's going to seven more for skinning position touch them he's lunchable simultaneous possession goes to the offense this is brandy you have arrived first and tan from the other and that's 45 to 5 and Davis takes it in for justice three minutes and three seconds left in the game and a penguins getting their first offensive touch that's all staggering attempt and the Packers have recovered at the 45 touchdown passes [Applause] he has another touchdown to go straighter the Vikings are five and oh they're the only unbeaten team in the NFC and they've come into Lambeau Field and handed Green Bay at the feet for the first time in Green Bay since September 3rd 1995 25 regular season games and four postseason games and the Vikings have come in and a routed the Packers philo score 37 to 24 we will wrap it up from Wisconsin in a moment

Randy Moss is, and will forever be, my favorite athlete. Dude don't write checks.

[u/SchlitzHaven]

Lol, it's amazing how much these quarterbacks would just yeet that fucking ball for 40 yards just in hopes their receiver will get it.

Straight cash homie

[u/ThreeDeep1998]

Robert Griffith was such a good safety. Also iirc Moss almost had another deep bomb TD but Cunningham just slightly overthrew it.
