Eric Dickerson's Record Breaking Day

In the 1985 season, Eric Dickerson set the single game playoff record for most rushing yards as the Rams won 20-0. Here is every one of his rushes in that game.

When I was in middle school, I sent a letter to the Rams, asking for an autograph of Dickerson. He sent an 8 x 10 personalized. I will never forget this

I love 80's football, reminds me of watching on Sundays as a kid with my Dad.

I went to the Hilton hotel, where all the teams stayed, to see him in Jersey, and they were kicking me out. I was only 17 and scared to death. But Dickerson just happened to be walking in with a friend, and all I wanted was his rookie poster signed. He told security that I was family and I can stay with him. NO SHIT. He signed the poster and we took a photo with my old 110 camera. Remember those???? But I just showed Dickerson the photo here in Vegas and he goes I remember you. You were just a kid and getting booted right??? How's that for a memory. He said I remember you because you also had my jersey and back then NO ONE bought jerseys. The guy is amazing, off and on the field. Semper Fidelis.

Literally just lining up and blasting it. Sometimes simple football is the most beautiful.

Eric never ran out of bounds. He always turned it upfield and took people on. His toughness is underrated.

One of the best ever. I loved watching him play, it was so unusual to see someone so tall play running back. He was so smooth.

This is when football was a man's game. Miss the 70s and 80s football.

Dickerson was an amazing running back.. tall, and graceful and could run like a fun to watch..

[Bellthorian]

Dickerson was so fast, the only guy I can remember who caught him from behind was Darryl Green.

I remember watching this game when I was a kid. It’s Dickerson’s greatest game ever.

I watched this game when I was a kid. ED was my fav player. Greatest pure runner ever. Speed, vision, power. Ran like a supercharged gazelle!

[markrouse]

The week after this game Rams traveled to Chicago to play the Bears. ED had just over 40 yards and the Bears 1985 defense handed them one of the two shut out games back to back (a record that still stands) on their way to win the Super Bowl.

The most underrated running back of all time.

[patrickloper]

He was just so smooth. He made it look effortless

Wow, as a Dallas Cowboys fan it was great to hear all the old player's names and see THE LEGENDARY TOM LANDRY on the sidelines. Also a huge fan of Dickerson since he went to SMU in Dallas and broke all kinds of NCAA records there as part of the Pony Express. Fun game to watch even if my Cowboys came out on the losing end.

I was a teenager in the 70's . Played football little league thru high school kept up with watch college and Pro. In my opinion Eric Dickerson is the best overall running back I ever saw play he was unreal

[docevans]

I watched this game live. The number of HOFers in this game is astounding.

[rodneyscott]

Eric Dickerson was a work horse.The eighties NFL was the era of the running back.

[brianharris]

The sweetest open field stride in NFL history.

Even as a cowboys fan, I appreciate this video.
