Chiefs offensive coordinator and former NFL running back Eric Bieniemy was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Detroit Lions were the opponent on this 1998 game in Pontiac, Mich., and Barry Sanders was having one of those games.
The Lions had the ball and, as Bieniemy remembered, Sanders “was putting on a show.”
On one play, Sanders appeared poised for a big gain, but the Bengals stopped him after 5 yards.
“I was (ticked) off, ‘Oh, they got him!’ I had to catch myself,” Bieniemy said.
