At this point there are two groups of people — those who have seen the Bo Jackson Tecmo Bowl video online and those who played the video game for themselves and remember what he could do.
Both groups can agree Curtis Samuel’s touchdown run in Sunday’s 42-28 victory over Tampa Bay was eerily reminiscent.
The Panthers’ second-year receiver didn’t duplicate the 8-bit Jackson’s laps around the field but he did cover 103.8 yards on his 33-yard weave into the endzone, per NFL Next Gen Stats. It embodied a 35-point first half that Panthers fans will want to remember.
