It doesn't matter if the Falcons had the pick or not, they would have fumbled it anyway.

The Colts have the Falcons to thank for being able to draft Marvin Harrison? Wow!

I discovered your channel a few days ago and have been binging videos instead of getting work done. It's very rare that I find someone who knows more random NFL history than I do. Your videos about obscure anecdotes are especially fun. Keep them up!

We are in the same boat. I found his channel around New Year's Day, and I've been going through his videos like crazy. Finally someone on KZread that likes talking about NFL history, and not just the big stories that everyone else already profiles. It's pretty clear that he does a good amount of research too.

As a Cowboys fan, I specifically remember this game for the fact that it gave the Cowboys an opportunity to get home field advantage since they were playing the absolutely terrible Arizona Cardinals the next night on MNF. I wasn't even concerned about how this affected the Colts.

The Falcons can't even lose properly.

bobby hebert should be in hall fame

I'd rather make the postseason. Plus it spoiled homefield advantage for the a division rival which makes it extra sweet for Atlanta

That and making the playoffs keeps coaching jobs.

This game had huge consequences for San Francisco as the loss cost them Home Field Advantage after Dallas destroyed the hapless Cardinals on Christmas night on MNF. That meant that the 49ers had to play Green Bay in the Divisional Playoffs instead of Philadelphia. The Packers would pull a shocking upset at Candlestick and prove to be a SF nemesis throughout the rest of the ‘90s. This loss to a clearly inferior Falcons team may well have cost the 49ers a repeat because they had Dallas’ number at that point and a playoff match would have been in SF had the 49ers simply taken care of business against Atlanta.

Thanks, Atlanta, for giving my home team a generational talent for me to grow up watching!

Bobby Hebert hated the Falcons so damn much, he screwed them for YEARS, I love it

Yep....us Colts fans got rid of Jeff George and wound up with Marvin Harrison. Not a bad deal

@@82dorrin That's actually an unfair reputation, his interception percentage was well below league average. He only had one season in his career above league average. His career interception percentage was lower than Troy Aikman, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, John Elway, and Warren Moon. The only Hall of Fame quarterbacks who played while George was in the NFL who had a lower career Int percentage were Joe Montana and Steve Young. Every other great quarterback of the era threw more interceptions than Jeff George did.

I'm glad Falcons won, Marvin Harrison definitely benefited being with Peyton Manning and that Offense.

I freaking love your channel and watch everything (obviously sometimes out of order). But it’s always jarring when your video has an always edit (or error of some kind) leaving me wanting to know what the heck was cut?? Otherwise, keep up the good work, Bro Montana!

I explained it in the description. Unfortunately this was completely out of my control. Everything was fine when the video got launched. Then the NFL manually copyrighted the video and blocked it from being shown on all platforms for using a 10-second highlight of a 49ers game. Even though it falls under fair use, the NFL nor KZread care about that, so the only way to get the video back up was to remove that part after the fact

I thought for sure you’d mention the Washington-Philadelphia game in this video.

and then they lost to the packers 27-17

Fun fact. The Colts got Marvin Harrison for John Elway. Here is how. They drafted John Elway in 1983. Then, they traded Elway for offensive lineman Chris Hinton. Then, after seven seasons and six pro bowls, they traded Hinton for the draft pick, which they used to take Jeff George in 1990. Then, after the 1993 season, they traded George for the draft pick, which they used to take Marvin Harrison in 1996. So, the Colts ended up getting Marvin Harrison for John Elway.

As always Gator, thank you! Keep grinding, researching, investigating!! Remember this when you buy you’re first super car ! Haha. Lots of money to be made on KZread.... one day!

Even if the Atlanta had the 19th pick AND picked Marvin Harrison…he would not have had the HOF career he had with Manning throwing him the rock. So it was for the best that ATL made it to the playoffs.

Jeff George: Ryan Leaf without the drug problems.

A recent subscriber so I keep hitting the back catalog. The Falcons need to go back to the red.

Honestly, if the pick doesn't turn out to be a generational talent, rare in the cluttered 90s, it makes no difference. So in the end Atlanta lost nothing of value.

Harrison wouldn't have helped the Falcons anyway.

The nba and nfl are completely different. You always go to the playoffs and take your xhances

It seems that a lot of your "That was stupid" or "There was no good way this could end" videos involve the Atlanta Falcons.

@7:01 Darryl Talley! Didn't know he played for the Falcons.

Seeing Jerry Rice miss a catch is like seeing the Aurora Borealis for the first time. 😲

Just a no name reviver who did very title. Marvin Harrison🤣🤣 nice

Losing the first pick in 1995 = saving cap space and not drafting a bust.

Steve Walsh would be a good subject for a video. I thought for sure he was going to be the star QB, not Troy Aikman. Yeah, I was totally wrong.

Honestly I wish the NFL would implement a lottery system like the NBA It makes things more interesting and doesn't reward tanking
