Top 10 Legendary Runs | NFL Films

number ten number ten that's number ten holy cow it's got to be higher than that as good as people think he was maybe go back and you look at his career I think you're gonna realize he's even better than that you know that's the thing about Dorsett that he never got the credit deserved he had great speed you know everybody talks about Emmitt Smith was Emmitt Smith better than Tony Dorsett my mind he wasn't to the 40 cuts right watch out there's a 50 to 40 East to the 30 the 20 Barney much like his place in history some think Tony Dorsett's most amazing run never got the spotlight it deserved it sound like the one foot line it's not even at the one [Applause] [Music] big opening for Tony Dorsett 99 yards and I have Hey for 99 yards I think you gotta be a little higher than Tim lost in all of it he did it with nine teammates Ron Springs runs into the huddle and then runs out of the huddle so the Cowboys did it with ten guys on the field what made the play is when you thought he was gonna get tackled and he stiff-armed the guy and just goes right into the info with ten guys on the field he had 90 mates you can make a great argument that because it's an unbreakable record and to have only ten guys on the field for the offense when it happens that it should be higher that's a fair ranking because of its length he gets a little more credit than it probably deserves Tony Dorsett 99-yard touchdown is too long I mean it's a 99 yard touchdown there can't be a longer run it is literally the longest run that will ever exist in NFL history you can make the argument that's the greatest run in NFL history you can make the argument that that's the greatest play in NFL history I don't think it is but you can least make it arguable but ten longest-running yes from ninety nine yards but that's can't get longer than ninety nine yeah you can't the record will never be broken one in the playoffs against the Cowboys was probably the most important run but Barry Sanders could fill every spot on this list the play where he spun Harlan Barnett into the ground for the Patriots is still the single greatest play I've ever seen he didn't know which way he was going and I'm not even sure Barry knew which way he was going Barry Sanders could fill every spot on this list because he probably had more amazing guns than any running back in NFL history I've never seen a player who is more entertaining to watch [Music] he's the human highlight machine how cool oh no this Barry Sanders gets a lot of credit for just handing the referee the ball all the time when he was a kid they told him the biggest way to insult the other team and show them up is to hand the ball to the referee so we think he's being very modest that's the most insulting Barry Sanders has ever been in his life this is arguably Barry's best run because it also happened to the playoffs against the future dynasty of the Cowboys what a moment in the Pontiac Silverdome is the Detroit Lions are about to play their first home playoff game since 1957 Dallas defense Hulk Sanders is just 22 yards before he turned in one of the most electrifying runs all time at the time the Dallas Cowboys had a sick defense like one of the best he said no I got this to ferry off the right area to the 45 and forty pages 35 day Barry didn't have many playoff moments because his team just didn't make it there very often and that was certainly a big one for me gotta be higher you got to put that higher come on in a playoff game he does not higher failures I will make these runs so good Jack Del Rio he almost says what if I just tackled Barry Sanders with this part of my neck he fails miserably and then Tony Casillas looks around as like the play still going on which way did he go which way did he go he's behind it somebody and then Ken Norton jr. realized the plays going on and trips over ere backpedaling like oh crap Barry Sanders still running he made them like straight-up fools I mean he just runs right through guys nobody can get him down and then when he sort of stops it's almost like time stops it's like the matrix or something everything freezes around and he just assesses the situation he's like that way the way he was able to move was just superhuman every time we talk about if you want because you can pay large amount of money to play defense someone makes you look like that I think you should get paid regular pay no really like minimum wage that day they should show you a play like here's your check and here's why [Music] our number eight amazing run was the biggest play in bigges games that led to the Dolphins undefeated season I get why this play is where it is first our 34 I've ever seen at the time it's the second longest run in Super Bowl history but if you asked anybody okay give me Larry Jacques most famous run are they giving you the run in Super Bowl seven I don't even think he belongs on the list and I'm a big Larry Csonka fan but oh it's definitely belongs on the list Larry Csonka was one of those great 70s NFL players whose mustache was tougher than you are can we discuss the face mask what's with the loop right here I love Larry Csonka because zonka typifies the hard-nosed physical barbaric nature of running the football with anger this is a guy that basically ice fishes in Alaska for hobby so playing football must have felt like child's play to him and he ran with such fury that it was beautiful to watch Larry's Anka you cannot touch how good this guy was the best part of this run what he does to pet Fisher is just mean here comes Pat fishers I was against Larry Csonka is not going to try and put a move on watch this violence I mean he saw him coming and he loaded up and he was ready to get Pat Fisher zonkers run help Miami finish the only perfect season in NFL history Larry Csonka is going to do what Larry Csonka does which is he's just going to put his forearm there and he's just going to drive he was a nasty violent runner a lot of people remember that is kind of the play of that game that was just that kind of raw power and just Smash Mouth kind of football can I say the number one run I saw well but was from a quarterback do you remember that Steve Young run [Music] young back to throw in trouble he's going to be sacked no gets away he runs away [Applause] it was the classic Romblon bumblin stumbleth and staggered into the end zone but that was a pretty great run we agree rumba and that's why Steve Young's game-winning scramble against the Vikings is the only quarterback run to make our list right there with him being the only quarterback on there come on now best run past quarterback ever my opinion you can have your Cam Newton's you could have your Russell Wilson's I remember there was one play wear his helmet came on and he's still running with his helmet off most guys most quarterbacks they're just gonna go ahead and just slide take a knee dive down but they're right there to me always show his grit his toughness you know that's not courage that's guts that run was incredibly important in Steve Young's career because this is 88 Montana's her people didn't really know what they had in him yet this is Joe Montana San Francisco 49ers this is number 16 runs the show and to see Steve Young back up and he's done so many times his career almost fall save himself he looked like a young man running around a bunch of old men what you saw in that run was unbelievable athletic determination of guys saying I'm gonna show you people everybody this is who I am this is what I do you won't see spend your life and he gets into the end zone you're like who is this guy that's where the quarterback controversy started that's where all the thoughts of like well what are we can't let Steve : do you think Steve Jenner's a quarterback is he's great Oh something else the best part of this Stevie on line there is so little poetry and it's like you chuck everything out of your closet and just threw it down the stairs he's constantly just bouncing around trying to survive he's gasping for air on that one he was not probably prepared to do all of that running he has no energy no balance no ability to finish this run [Applause] he barely made it I think he had like a minor cardiac kid moment where he just got sort of like left ventricle snapped or something has to be on the list it's one of the great ones of all time the frigid 49 yard run by Dave young stakes couldn't been higher totally unexpected from a quarterback so yeah I think that was one of the great runs of all time that's the best run of all time and it didn't even go for a touchdown that should be number one you're talking about where he hits Isiah Robertson [Music] he had so many runs that were technically better but God that one looks so cool Paul Campbell may have had better runs and bigger games but none had more impact than a 16-yard gain at before in 1978 you saw a man amongst boys that's what you just saw Earl Campbell losing his jersey and I use that term loosely because it it almost disintegrates iconic imagery of his Jersey getting ripped completely off is insane [Music] whenever you have a guy loses shirt that's worthy of being in the top 10 of anything any highlight of all time that one should be a little higher but that moment you're running so sexy users become a stripper just out of it you know if they just down to the past that run actually was the inspiration for the lingerie football league a lot of people don't know that his jersey explodes off of him it's like at the end of the play he's The Incredible Hulk with delayed reaction it's like incredible Hawk material number one immediately see I think the jersey part isn't the interesting part of the run I think when he ran over Isiah Robertson that was the I mean it was like you know big guy a big guy and he ran him right you never get to the jersey part if he doesn't run over Isiah Robertson how else do I know this is a great run because it made Isiah Robertson famous [Music] I think that this run is too high it wasn't bojack's it was just another guy named you know Joe Jackson would it be as high not only does nobody touch Bo but nobody else is even in sight that was ridiculous Kenny easily didn't have a chance bless his heart Hall of Famer but he would catch and vote it's a great run it's a memorable run and it was done on Monday night and it was a big deal and it's Bo I put it up there probably probably at 10 sometimes we take things and because it's on TV and it's in primetime and we blow them up a little more than they should be that 91 yard run on Monday Night Football when he runs through the end zone and then into the tunnel I feel like if he would have just kept running out of the stadium and then around the planet and come back around the other side and just scored again the next there's a snow cone machine in the tunnel people don't know that there was a huge snow cone you you get like red and blueberry and he would mix it it was called a suicide he can all the flavors and add a nice they do like a nice hot towel thing back there with eucalyptus and it was such an incredible run that while he was in the tunnel he signed a new contract then that came on so he has that run just when he runs through Bosworth the goal line me you can't write a better story than that he was the first like larger than anyone he was a superhero you're just looking at a superhero like Flash Gordon [Music] [Applause] one thing we can all agree on both Jackson was superhuman and his second amazing run that night helped cement his legacy it was good against evil was bad against good [Music] and Jackson just jump into the endzone that's the matchup you like to see you know running over Brian Bosworth you really run him over and he just Bosworth he kept poster ID it was fantastic bo versus the Boz it just feels like that play is genuine athletic prowess against a Hollywood character that's a superhero moment if I've ever seen one so Bo not for box oh did you want me to talk about Walter Payton I mean I'm not I know how much of a Bears fan I am but I suppose that I can talk about the ballet and athleticism with the greatest running back of all time he would run guys over and flapping them and you're gonna go boom it's not like a ah it's a boom on your back he does the leg turn thing and he goes again it runs the next guy over so he could run the whole team over right back to that cool boom boom boom boom the power was always there the determination you can just see it in this man I used to sit and watch bears games with my entire family my uncle Ken would always say all right now what you want doing here is looking look at that was lakes don't stop moving right there they just keep churning away [Applause] [Music] the first time I saw on television nice only make this one run they got to pay the nice weight to the right side to get the block free Victoria must have twisted and not three or four guys over spun around accelerated default they're the inch [Applause] nicer oh my goodness what kind of animal is this all those moves and the strengthen it's an asset II that was it I didn't have to say any more I knew this was a great run was amazing one gave the admiration of Jim Brown and left our experts scratching their heads how did how Wow that run doesn't even look like it's real that looks like a video game looks like at one point in this run he's decided I'm gonna touch every player on the defense even the ones that aren't coming towards me I'll run over by them for a while what 15 Chiefs hit him that day I'm almost sure it was nine of the 11 Chiefs got their hands on him before they finally brought him down [Music] it was probably the best of those type of runs but he did that all the time I told him back in the day that I thought that he should score it on that plate should have picked his feet up but basically he sums up his whole entire career people said he are too small you're not gonna make it he goes on to ending his career as the all-time leading rusher [Applause] sweetness may have been the king of epic ones but is this amazing run worth yield the number four spot on our list was it that Walter didn't have like that signature player who was it that he had so many of them that you don't look and go alright that was the one play there's so many greats but I think it should be wanted to this year not not the top four he should be the top two how do you gotten a few more yards I think we couldn't match that one up part of what makes him so good was that he wasn't gonna go for like 70 yards but he got those like really really important one [Music] to me there's no over rating that one because it's game situation you knew he was getting the ball he knew it the Huffman's knew it the defense knew it all the fans knew it and it didn't matter here comes the beep here comes the diesel lot of this and your boy here comes the diesel everyone knows what's coming and they can't stop if God and that's the game right there choices so he did given that they won the Super Bowl and that run was the the ultimate play I think it serves to be high on the list John Riggins he doesn't even really pass the eyeball test for and I felt running back but you just he had that it thing he was such a huge personality crazy off-the-wall type guy I do have a drinking problem but that's only when I'm hanging from the rafters by my knees but then his game matched it [Music] [Applause] the diesel was still firing on all cylinders into the twilight of his career his amazing run in Super Bowl 17 came at the ripe old age of 33 hey looks old he already looks like a mid-forties dad and jeans running if you look at his face he's grimacing his face is twice as wide as everyone else's faces just like it's smushed into that helmet he's just like it just like a big overgrown older guy and he's faster than her as soon as he runs over McNeal he takes off Riggins a lot faster than people think that he was how in the world is this guy outrunning the entire team to the end zone he was such a legend to me because of that like I'd never seen anything like it defies physics as memorable as wriggles run maybe there is one person who probably doesn't think that this is such an amazing run on McNeal I say I remember I always remember guys that get run over it's just a force it's like trying to hold onto a truck as it drives away [Applause] turn green if you told me that John Riggins didn't work out but he just moves hey all day I would have believed that and that's like the strength of that ripped it sounds like he could have been a professional wrestler instead no he's just tearing up the football field and having people get out of his way games even big ones come and go John Riggins will be remembered in Super Bowl history for it is Riggins touchdown run cemented his place at Super Bowl 17 MVP in the last 34 years only four running backs have done the same that's why we love these guys they do the impossible John Riggins made that routine look it's not a great great run you popped through the hole ran over da McNeill and there was nobody else there so it wasn't that great a run but it was an important run and I think that puts it where it is Marshawn Lynch is a bad bad man beast mode this is the run beast quake one for my money is the greatest run in the history of the NFL when the 79 seahawks knocked the defending Super Bowl champs out of the 2010 postseason that literally qualified as a hair-raising moment so we get into the huddle and they caught 17 power I was like oh my god I've been trying to get a power for so long hey with power you running straight down here you know what we come in and we know where y'all gonna be lined up at now you just gotta stop website that's the graders were at was seen and that's a bold statement right that's the one where then the stadium went so crazy that they hit the Richter scale or something like that it was such a moment for that city I mean it literally was a moment they felt it because it's like a natural disaster with the fans and it's not number one I'm no expert on seismic activity but anytime a football play generates a reaction from the scientific community you know it's special and it's got to be on the list of top ten when this run starts he comes in contact with over half of the defense before he gets to the line of scrimmage moreso than like a good cut or like a clean break out of the line you love to see like a guy just put five tacklers on their ass I cover the ball with two hands one of my old teammate Jabbar Grier came over the top he slid it off those people slip off in like he's buoyant just two guys go like this and fall all the way down his body like he breaks a tackle at the line of scrimmage five yards after that five ejector that had five yards after that he earns that touchdown I think my favorite part was throwing on camera which DB he threw Tracy Porter came up I gave him a little stiff arm I stayed on my feet he said the Tracy corner we almost was landing that top speed so I mean you know any kind of shove right there we have a man off course this is just a little baby Stefan he must have been like just wrapped up his skills to do that I think marshawn tasted the rainbow shortly after that he loves to taste the rainbow well yeah soda why i also marching it four years later Lynch authored Beast quake 2 but as is often the case the sequel wasn't as good as the original [Music] this is the number one play I can't think of a better run the only one with the nickname is these quick therefore it is the greatest of all time it is the greatest punch in the mouth run and I love that about it come on give my man marsala and some love I'm pretty much sure who's number one why is that number one tell me what's remarkable about that right I like it I like it a lot the biggest game in the biggest moment [Applause] [Music] Marcus Allen Super Bowl record how does it get better than that oh look at it again [Music] what's number one Marcus Allen and the Super Bowl hmm okay who did he shove to the ground on that play anyone remember no no they would eat him even break now Allen may not have broken many tackles but he did break a record for what was then the longest touchdown run in Super Bowl history he just first fight by those Redskins [Applause] [Music] whether you agree with our number one amazing run or not I have major issues with this this is an egregious error on your part after respect Alan's record-setting Super Bowl performance against Washington's number one ranked defense it's a great run came in a great moment in the game and to go 74 yards against that Redskins defense and to get back up in the middle of the offensive line and run through the middle you've never seen anyone but everywhere you can really hope buddy also machine defense I have already had a call from Moscow they think that Marcus Allen is a new secret weapon and they insist that we dismantle it here's what I like about that run now hopefully you guys can do this after I mention it you slow it down and you put some kind of like Orchestra Symphony music to it because that run is beautiful and there's not a lot of things in football that you can use the term beautiful but if you slow that down [Music] that is actual that's art with Marcus he felt longer he looked taller his pads up smaller I think why I admired him so much is because it felt poetic Marcus was the great glider he was always blyde it was easy [Music] and put his foot in the ground you collide and then he'd explode like that play he was gliding came back the others way boom right off the metal calm that's absolutely a legendary adding to the legacy of Marcus Allen's run is the iconic imagery that has been etched in the memories of generations of football fans everyone has seen it a million times on NFL Films we've grown up with that image in our heads both applause you get the full effect the visual the musical makes me appreciate the game more than ever okay sometimes I take issue with you guys on what you pick but Marcus Allen being number one you got this right I mean everyone knows what Marshawn did but you know Marcus Allen's wrong that's that's the best one
