Manage episode 521302723 series 3699073
On November 26th, 1989, the Los Angeles Rams walked into the Superdome and watched Willie “Flipper” Anderson turn into a one-man highlight reel.
Deep ball after deep ball… clutch catch after clutch catch… and a final overtime grab that pushed him into NFL history.
336 receiving yards.

On this episode of Sports History Daily, we remember the night Flipper Anderson delivered the greatest receiving performance the league has ever seen.
