NFL March Madness: No. 2 ‘Chris Ivory Goes Tecmo Bowl’ vs. No. 7 ‘Randy Moss Still Has Moves’

(2) Chris Ivory Goes Tecmo Bowl

(7) Randy Moss Still Has Moves

Chris Ivory may not get a lot of opportunities in the Saints crowded backfield, but he made the most of this one. Ivory showed off a complete skill set including speed, agility and power.

He showed a good burst of speed getting to the outside and out-racing Asante Samuel to the corner. With Samuel in pursuit and the sideline helping out, Thomas DeCoud appeared to have Ivory in his sights, but a nifty move and some tremendous balance put Ivory in the clear and DeCoud looking very confused. Ivory cut to the middle of the field and Dunta Robinson had a shot to tackle him but is easily dispatched by a stiff arm. After embarrassing 3/4s of the Falcons secondary, Ivory cruised into the endzone to cap the 56-yard touchdown.

It may not have quite been vintage 1998 Randy Moss, but this 47-yard touchdown was still very impressive. It started with the route as Moss faked out Jamell Fleming to gain separation.

Fortunately for Fleming, he recovered in time to attempt a tackle. Unfortunately for Fleming, Moss faked him out again and left him reaching at air. Fleming wasn't the only one, however, as Paris Lenon came running in only to barely get a hand on Moss as he juked him as well. From there Moss showed some impressive acceleration and speed as he raced untouched into the endzone. Despite being pinned along the sideline and 40 yards from the endzone, Moss managed to score nearly untouched.
