Lamar Jackson pulled a Bo Jackson during his Baltimore Ravens’ divisional round playoff win over the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Saturday.
Jackson threw for two touchdowns and rushed for two scores while leading his Ravens to a 34-10 win over the visiting Texans.
Baltimore was leading 24-10 in the fourth quarter and had a 2nd-and-5 with just under six and a half minutes left in the game. Jackson faked a handoff and then bootlegged to his left. He ran the ball in for an eight-yard touchdown and decided to keep running through the end zone and into the team’s tunnel.
Lamar running into the tunnel after his touchdown likely reminded many NFL fans of the classic move from Bo Jackson.
Bo Jackson turned the corner and outran the Seattle Seahawks defense for a 91-yard touchdown on “Monday Night Football” in 1987. Jackson was running at such full steam that he went straight into the tunnel after scoring.
Lamar’s eight-yard TD run has nothing on Bo’s 91-yard run, but they both finished off their runs the same way.
Now Lamar has run his way to the AFC Championship game, which Baltimore will host against the winner of Sunday's Chiefs-Bills game.
