Coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff aren't the only popular Detroit Lions these days. A movie about the franchise's greatest running back and his sudden retirement is Amazon Prime Video's most-viewed documentary. "Bye Bye Barry" looks back at Barry Sanders 10-year career with the Detroit Lions and his decision to retire in 1999 despite being on the cusp of becoming the NFL's all-time leading rusher. It surpassed "Kelce," a documentary about Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, less than two weeks after its premiere.
