description

In the fourth quarter of a postseason matchup between the Lions and 49ers, Detroit running back Billy Sims took this pitch to the right, darted his way between some defenders, and crossed the goal line for a crucial score. Sims would tally 114 rushing yards and two scores on 20 carries in this one, and also caught four passes, but the Lions would go on to fall, 24-23, on Dec. 31, 1983.
