I don't give Ross much credit for that either. He rode Barry just like Fontes did.
Fun fact: the only game the Detroit Lions won in the past 57 years saw Barry Sanders rush for 69 yards (which includes a monster 47-yard TD) BUT here are some telling stats as well.
Toy Aikman.....11 for 16 for 114 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT 63.0 Rating
Erik Kramer.....29 for 38 for 341 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INT 129.4 Rating
Barry Sanders is one of the greatest to ever play, but the truth is that Troy Aikman got spanked by an undrafted free agent that was the team's backup. It's just hard to win any game, much less one in the playoffs when your QB puts up a fraction of the numbers the other guy does.
