Barry Sanders took the Lions to the NFC title game in 1991 against the Redskins, who won the Superbowl easily against the Bills.
He has just as many Superbowl rings as T.O., could have easily shattered the rushing record in less games than Emmitt Smith if hadn't retired, and is in the Hall of Fame, which T.O. will not be.
Winning is not an excuse to show your @ss.
