A pity that "Flipper" didn't play for the Dolphins. It would have been too perfect.

This Rams team was a good team. They went 11-5 in 1989, made the playoffs as a wildcard and made it all the way to the NFC championship. And yet all I can think of is "How the F did the Saints lose this game?"

the fact he was averaging 30+ yards a catch still by week 12 is insane though even if he wasnt getting heavy targets or whatever was going on fr
WOW! I've been wanting to see this for over 20 years. I got Flipper's autograph at the NFL experience in San Diego in 98, he was a nice guy. First pro athlete's autograph I ever got. Still have the ball to this day.

Tell you what the amount of passing yards Jim Everett had from the start of the 4th quarter to the end of the game was just beyond insane!
I don't know if it matters or not but he got 40 of those yards in overtime. I'm glad he finally got a Super Bowl ring with the Broncos though.
What's crazy is that in the first game he had against the Rams, he only had 49 receiving yards. This game came straight out of nowhere

Flipper was the #3 receiver at the time behind Aaron Cox and main guy Henry Ellard that's why he wasn't getting enough targets prior to this game!
Wow. Refs actually threw a PI flag in a big moment in a Rams @ Saints game.
8:49 Yes that was a real rule at the time. Was a big problem in Denver. Crowds were super loud in some stadiums. The King Dome in Seattle was another one.

When NFL Throwback uploads, you know it’s gonna be a day! Hello from Ottawa y’all!🇨🇦
the Saints linebacking core was ridiculous back then - Sam Mills and Pat Swilling, look out! Loved growing up in the 80s watching real men play the game - too many soft players nowadays and too many rules. This was what real football looked like and they actually ran the ball. I'm really curious how many targets Anderson had by the end of this crazy game...my best friend at the time loved Jim Everett and I was all about Randall Cunningham.
Not that qb is easy now but a helluva lot harder then
Holy Cow!! Look at the quality of this and 30 minutes?! Hrm....Maybe we might be verging on getting full games? 🙏 Anywho, Flipper Anderson was a pretty underrated WR back in the day. More of a 3rd down/possession guy but he was a valuable player.

5:53 "That was diddly poo!!!" Used to go to Anaheim Stadium as a kid with my Flipper jersey. Loved the Jim to Flipper connection! Bobby Hebert would THRIVED in today's NFL.
Back in these days you didn't know what the score was when you turned the game on. They only flashed the score at commercial breaks or scores. Tough times Lol
Flipper Anderson was one of those players who were more underrated
NFL Throwback, fantastic job with the edit of this game; loved the inclusion of the intro and between quarter breaks. This is my first time seeing this game as we didn't have cable TV in 1989, but I heard all about Flipper crushing the Saints' playoff hopes the next morning at school! After watching this game, couldn't believe how dominant the Saints D was, until the last 5 minutes of the game. Flipper went into Jerry Rice mode. Thanks again for the game!
Another classic highlight, thanks Throwback
When I went to the Super Dome for the first time for a Rams Saints game back in Dec of 2001 I held up a sign saying Flipper 336...Them ain'ts fans was hating it, and My Rams won....GOOD MEMORIES!!!

I'm sure that if each and every wide receivers out there would watch this they will be blown away by Willie Flipper Anderson's 336 receiving yards game
He was always among the top in yards per reception. If He would of been the number 1 receiver he'd of put up way more yards each year.. The great Henry Ellard was getting most of the targets every year. Flipper had a few more crazy yardage games in his career as well.

Had the old NO Saints Dome patrol Poster in my room. Loved Pat Swilling growing up, always reminded me of LT. Should be a HOFer. I was so happy when Sam Mills was inducted. An unbelievable fact about Mill's career, his rookie season wasn't until he was like 27 years old, at the end of a normal NFL players "prime years". Retired at 38. that is just ridiculous, totally unheard of like EVER.
Bruh, in the first 11 games of the 1989 season, dude had a total of 584 yards and from weeks 13 through 16 he had 226 yards. This game accounted for nearly 30% of his 1989 season and nearly 6.3% of his career yards. And btw, Anderson would go on to win a Super Bowl ring with the 1997 Broncos
That is true football. No trash talking, no silly celebrations, just 2 teams playing the game.

Hebert was an underrated guy. Just like Kosar was a hometown hero for Cleveland, Bobby Hebert was a hometown hero for New Orleans.
Henry Ellard, Fresno State representing! I remember when he got the call from the Rams telling him he got drafted! Maaaan, I wish Dickerson had stayed!
Saints should have fired the entire coaching staff after losing that game. Awful play calling last 5 minutes.
I remember listening too this on the radio (didn’t get cable). The nfl only did Sunday night gms the second half of the season back then.

Nothing like football in the 80s and 90s. Every game seemed like it was awesome.
This is why I love sports remarkable things done by relative unknowns that given them sports immortality.
This performance wasn't QUITE as random as my fellow Fresno State alumnus Stephone Paige's in 1985, but it was close. Flipper balled out. Only guy I saw from 1992-1997 smoke Deion Sanders deep...he got him in 1994 also on Sunday Night Football.
Ahh yes, I remember this game like it was yesterday. I was supposed to be doing weekend homework that night, but not with my team playing on Sunday Night! Helluva game by Flipper and Chris Evert living up to her name.
That crowd noise rule was so ridiculous. How are you going to penalize the home team because the crowd is loud? You’re not playing in a library.
