In October 1989
Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , the Vikings thought they were a quality running back away from a Super Bowl. So they placed the most all in of all all-in bets, and it helped deliver not one but three Super Bowls.But not for the Vikings.Thirty years ago today, Minnesota traded three first-round picks, three second-round picks
Womens Dak Prescott Jersey , and a bunch of other stuff to get running back Herschel Walker.Three days later, he’d explode for 148 yards on only 18 carries and one lost shoe in his debut, a 26-14 win over the Packers. And then Walker didn’t have another 100-yard game for the Vikings until Week Two of the 1991 season.He’d stay in Minnesota through 1991, before being released.By then
Demarcus Lawrence Jersey White , the Cowboys had laid the foundation — thanks to all those extra picks — for the team that would make it to the playoffs in 1991 (Minnesota did not), and that would win the Super Bowl to cap the 1992, 1993, and 1995 seasons. In the next draft after trading Walker
Womens Amari Cooper Jersey , the Cowboys selected a guy named Emmitt Smith, who’d become the all-time leading rusher before his retirement. Walker is 43rd on the list.The trade for Walker remains at the top of the list of worst NFL trades ever, and 30 years later it’s a record that may never be broken. Although Washington has tried (RGIII), and surely will try again. At this rate
Taco Charlton Jersey White , the Cowboys not only aren’t going to cover, but they won’t even score the number of points they were supposed to cover by.In fact, the Cowboys are just hoping to get out of today with a win.Dallas opened as a 20.5-point favorite and vowed not to “eat the cheese.” But the Cowboys are playing their worst game of the season.They will give thanks that the Dolphins are the Dolphins. Miami should lead but instead the Cowboys hold a 10-6 edge at intermission.Miami missed a field goal, settled for two red-zone field goals and Kenyan Drake fumbled after the Dolphins reached the Dallas 7 at the end of the first half.The Dolphins have three red zone possessions and only six points out of those possessions.DeMarcus Lawrence recovered Drake’s fumble with 19 seconds left in the half
Ezekiel Elliott Jersey White , and the Dolphins driving toward a go-ahead score aided by a pass interference penalty on Chidobe Awuzie and a defensive holding penalty on Jaylon Smith.Josh Rosen has outplayed Dak Prescott, completing 11 of 22 passes for 156 yards. Prescott is 9-of-20 for 106 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Ezekiel Elliott does have 13 carries for 86 yards.The Dolphins chose not to challenge a perfect 15-yard pass from Rosen to Preston Williams with 5:51 remaining in the half. Williams took at least two steps in the end zone before Awuzie punched the ball out.Miami settled for a 33-yard field goal.
