I said think farther back, as in Deion never did it, I would of said it was correct then!

What the heck do you mean he never did it? He did it in one of the greatest Dallas Cowboy games in franchise history and probably cemented his place in the HOF by his super human performance in this single game.

Why don't you Google Dallas Cowboys at NY Giants, September 1998?

I think I should get the point for all the research I did.

Hey, don't try and swipe my star, mtuhusky. It's my first and I've already grown rather attached to it.

How about a cold brewsky out on the deck and honorable mention instead?

P.S. Just for the record, this question was so easy it shouldn't have required research. That and I remember watching the game. I have a friend who is a real Dallas diehard but who HATES Sanders (whereas I rather like the peacock myself - "if you got it, flaunt it" I always say). Anyway, watching my friend suffer the agony of seeing "his team" saved by the antics of Primetime is a moment in time I won't ever forget.
