YouTube Releases 1998 Thanksgiving Game in Green's Honor

The NFL on Friday released the first of three Vikings classics that were selected to be posted in their entirety on YouTube.

In honor of the passing of former Minnesota Head Coach Dennis Green, the NFL unveiled 1998 Thanksgiving showdown in Dallas in which the Vikings defeated the Cowboys 46-36.

Rookie Randy Moss turned in three 50-plus-yard touchdown catches. The first was on a 51-yard heave from Randall Cunningham.

The second and third touchdown catches were each 56 yarders and accompanied a 54-yard touchdown catch-and-run after Cris Carter defeated double coverage and a 50-yard rushing touchdown by running back Leroy Hoard.
