1989 Cardinals at Lions

Runs 2:27. Has half-time, postgame, and some commercials | Al Del Greco's 33-yard field goal with just 13 seconds remaining in the game gave the Cardinals a 16-13 win in the season opener for both teams. On a positive note, the game marked the debut of Detroit's number one draft pick Barry Sanders, who signed with the club on the Thursday before the game and had just two days of practice prior to the game. Regardless, Sanders electrified the Silverdome crowd with 71 yards rushing on only nine carries in a little more than 20 minutes of play. Sanders' first carry as a Lion was a memorable one as he went around his left end for an 18-yard gain that brought a standing ovation from Bill Ford and family.
