I tell ya, last week it was Dez is just as good/better than Megatron, and this week its Deion coulda stopped him. Jerry and the Cowboys are such a joke...this is what they are worried about. SMH...Deion would never stop Megatron

Well, Deion could not stop a young Randy Moss.

Vikings 27, Cowboys 17 (Nov. 8, 1999): Moss caught six passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns, playing the starring role as the Vikings rallied from a 17-0 deficit. The Cowboys had no offensive firepower after Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman were knocked out of the game by midway through the third quarter.

Trip down Randy Moss memory lane - Dallas Cowboys Blog - ESPN Dallas

Moss was 7-0 against the Cowboys in his career.


He also got burned by Jerry Rice regularly. Rice has a 5-TD game against Deion.

Rice vs. Sanders (compiled myself)

1990- 225 yds, 5 TD
1990 - 171 yds, 1 TD
1991 - 138 yds, 1 TD
1991 - 44, 0 TD
1992 - 183 yds, 2 TD
1992 - 45 yds, 1 TD
1993 - 33 yds, 0 TD
1993 - 105 yds, 0 TD
1995 - 161 yds, 1 TD
1996 - 49 yds, 1 TD

Rice CAREER TOTAL vs Sanders - 10 games, 1,154 yds 12 TDs
AVERAGE = 115.4 yds/gm, 1.2 TDs/gm


Sanders was one of the best CBs of all time, but he still could not stop some of the best WRs of all time. I think Calvin would abuse him with the strength and height advantage he has.
