Despite sitting in a somber locker room Sunday, Prince Amukamara allowed himself to be amazed. A minute into the fourth quarter, with the Bears leading by four, veteran cornerback Sherrick McManis forced Raiders receiver Trevor Davis to fumble at the goal line by punching at the ball with his right fist.
Sound familiar?
“I feel like Sherrick is Peanut reincarnated,” Amukamara said. “He’s keeping it going.”
Cornerback Charles Tillman, who totaled 44 forced fumbles in his 13-year career, spread his “Peanut Punch” technique like Johnny Appleseed.
But McManis is the only Bears defender to actually have shared the field with the retired Tillman.
