Hard to jump up and get in Bo’s face after getting their bells rung. 😉 I’m 52 and Bo has always been my favorite player to watch. Power & unbelievable speed. “like little kids chasing a grown man.”
Met Ronnie Lott at a wedding, when I was 15 years old. Classiest guy ever! Gave me so much time and attention (I was- and still am- a true Niners fan). Mr. Lott took my address, and ended up sending me a signed photo of himself which reads: "Be the Best! Ronnie Lott" and still hangs on my office wall today.

Props to Eric Wight, a corner who was not afraid to hit and tackle. That was a long day for the 49er secondary. And props to Marcus Allen's unselfish play; as Al Davis was seriously mess'n with his career.
You’re right about Wright. That terrible groin injury in 85-86’ derailed what would likely have been a HOF career. He was a good nickel after that, but never the same.
Corners had to be tuff. And they had to cm up and hit. If not get trucked!! Rbs were easily averaging 210lbs or better. And they would lower the shoulder, for the boom!!
Bo was a joy, not just in football but baseball as well. I lived in Reno and would go to the old MCM to watch the Royals on the big screens just because with Bo it was a different game, both defense and offense. Such a shame we only had him injury free for such a short time!
if i remember, i think there was 8 plays. even if you picked the same play on defense, bo would still run the field. raiders and 49er's (montana to rice was a gimme as well) were banned in our tecmo tourney's. haha, good times.

I seen it a couple years ago or you still buy them i think. never got into playstation or xbox action stuff or was a gamer, just tecmo and i guess sega nhl at freinds' house in high school.
You have to remember that Bo Jackson is playing against the best defense in the NFL during this time(Ronnie Lott, Bill Romanowski, Charles Haley ect.) He had an average game against the team that won back to back superbowl championships
Yeah, but look at his career stats. Bo was never the best RB in the league. Not even close. I feel like Nike and Tecmo Bowl had as much to do with people revising his impact as anything... and I was a kid during the Bo Knows days, so I'm not even biased. He was not that great in the NFL.
@thegrandpencil4374 then you didn't watch many of his games. He had countless runs where he broke 60+ yard touchdowns. Ran people over. He didn't make a bigger impact because he split time between sports and didn't play full seasons as a result. In addition he split time with Marcus Allen limiting his total carries. Then his career was cut very short from his hip injury. He was a freak athlete during his heyday though. Maybe the best athlete. I was not a Bo Jackson fan. I got tired of hearing about him, but can't deny his greatness. His career was so short it's really a shame to never get to see what he could have really done.
@@the-next-gear3626 Yes, he had potential, but my point is that we never got to see it. We don't know how good he'd have been if he'd actually carried the ball as much as Payton or Barry Sanders did, but for some reason, people have made him out to be their equal, or even their superior... which is just insane. Bo was not like Deon, who also played both sports but was the best at his position. Bo was NOT the best RB in the league. He was simply a freak athlete that never got a chance to show us what he could do.
@@thegrandpencil4374Bo Jackson missed the 1st 4 games every year because of Baseball. He was basically the only offense the Raiders had during those years.
Yes, that would’ve been terror but let us not forget the other running back in the Raiders’ backfield . None other than No. 32, the great Marcus Allen. That was terror enough
Marcus did a lot of things very well on the field. He was never considered fast, but he was a plus blocker, a pretty good route runner and receiver, he could throw, and he was an elusive runner. On top of that he played 16 years in the league.
Thank GOD I got to see the Raiders when they moved to L.A. Bo jackson was a nightmare for any team..... I can only say thank you GOD for having the Raiders here in L.A. for a time.

Bo wasn't very elusive, but basically brute force with 4.2 speed. I could imagine what it was like to tackle a guy like that in the open field smh I wish Bo would have been able to play a full season in the NFL. His career rushing Avg. was 5.4 YPC. Give him a full 16 game season, and I think he averages MINIMUM 13-1400+ yards
@@thegrandpencil4374 Man STOP IT. Any NFL RB that has a CAREER avg. of 5.4 yards a carry is something beyond "good". And yes Barry and Walter were great. All-time great even. But they weren't starting there NFL season's after finishing a FULL season of Major League Baseball, with NO training camp, preseason or off season to work and condition themselves toward there specific craft as an NFL RB. The only athlete EVER to make an all-star team in BOTH professional leagues is "more hype then anything"?
@@Riles3152 Rushing averages mean little when you're only rushing 150 times a season. Running backs during that era, great ones, anyway, rushed double that... which will lower your averages. Barry Sanders rushed for five yards a carry while rushing the ball over 330 times! Bo didn't run the ball enough for us to see if he could compare with that. Also, Deon Sanders, who was a two-way athlete, was the best DB in the league... hands down. He also returned kicks. So there is precedent for a two-way athlete doing it full time AND being the very best in the game at his position. But I feel like my point is being missed here. Bo Jackson did NOT play enough, and did not play LONG enough to warrant the praise. In order to be put up there with the greats, you need to have a full career that can be properly judged. What Bo gave us was a hint, a snapshot of what MIGHT have been. He wasn't around long enough for us to ever know how good he truly was. That's all I'm saying.
@@thegrandpencil4374 Ok I get what your saying, at the same time I think Bo gave us enough film in college to reasonably assume that had he concentrated, directed his training and focus on football, he certainly had a hall of fame ceiling. The man won the Heisman trophy his final year at Auburn lol 278 carries for over 1700 yards and 17 TD's. With that size, strength and speed, there's not much reason to not think he wouldn't have been a not quite as bruising but really a faster version of Earl Campbell. And Earl dominated the NFL his first few seasons. And to your Deion point, yes he was the all-time standard at the CB position, but his BASEBALL ceiling wasn't on Bo's level. Even he admitted that he was just ok in baseball. I think Bo had the PHYSICAL tools and raw talent to have been a potential HOF in either sport had he concentrated solely on that sport from the beginning. I don't know if Deion would have ever been a HOF in baseball no matter how full time dedicated he was to the sport.
This 49ers team was one of the best all time IMO. Miss this time in the NFL and Bo Jackson. Gone from the game too soon. Can’t help but think of what might have been.
Bo had excellent power & breakaway speed! Bo is my all time favorite Raiders running back, even above the sensational Hall of Fame RB. Marcus Allen.🏆🥇🏈👏🏼👏🏼
Except for Earl Campbell. Now he was truly a tank that would steam role over u. I watched some of his games on my phone,and if hadn't seen it. I wouldn't believed it.
@@PaulZink-k8d Earl was incredible but I think Bo was a bit better. Bo was the fastest player in NFL history. He supposedly ran a 4.13 40 yard dash at 230 lbs. He also chucked Brian Bosworth like a child's toy. Earl was more of a cement mixer rolling over people much like Marshawn Lynch "The Beast Mode" who is my favorite running back.
Bo Jackson fan here...The title is misleading. It's Bo Jackson's runs vs 49ers 11/13/98...I will say, it was quite impressive how Bo knocked Lott off his feet. Raider Nation!
Ronnie Lott thinking to himself, "I don't get paid enough for this sh*t..." TWO real-life football legends! Lott and Jackson. I have been fortunate enough to have met both of these men. Both real gentlemen.
You had to get Bo going sideways if he turned the corner or into the open field and got a head of steam you were in really serious trouble, the Hawks found that out MNF he ran past and over Kenny Easley and Brian Bosworth. I still have nightmares about that game. Go Hawks
As a Seahawk season ticket holder I was at that game. I remember after Bo ran past Boz he just kept running out of back of the end zone and thru the tunnel that lead out of the Kingdome!
@@danti59-z4b Greetings from the UK, I was a kid when that game took place but I suspected he would have a great game against us. Bo had ominously shown that hat he was getting his football form back and was going to have a break out game unfortunately it was against us. I don't know if you remember seeing the British flag in the Kingdome in that period it was sent by Seahawkers UK, a British Hawks fan club I was a member of. Go Hawks
Earl Campbell set the standard for running with brute force. Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, John Riggins, and Jerome Bettis came later. Jim Brown played in an era where linemen weren't that much bigger than him and linebackers were about his size.
Ronnie Lott at 200 lbs was the hardest hitting DB in NFL history and a Hall of Famer. That being said, Bo Jackson was 240 lbs. and amongst the fastest players in the league, even at that size. Once Bo got a head of steam going, it wasn’t going to be easy to bring him down. Even 36 years later, that’s still freakishly fast for someone that size.
I love watching these days of football. Notice Bo didn’t celebrate or talk shit after the run. In the NFL now even after a basic tackle someone is celebrating, it gets old. I believe football was better when they didn’t get paid as much and actually had to work another job and played football because they loved the sport not for the money
The GREAT #32 MARCUS ALLEN leading the way at FB for #34 BO JACKSON before the injury the best backfield in NFL history…it could’ve been something wry special for us…
It looked to me like all of the Jackson-Lott meetings in this video were one-sided in favor of Bo. Now, I remember a Raiders-Vikings game where Joey Browner man-handled both Bo and Marcus Allen.
Bo looks human. That doesn't take into consideration that everyone else had played a full preseason, training camp and numerous games at this point while Bo was coming in fresh and uninjured.
Great all around athlete. Too bad he was injured playing football. He was a definitely better baseball player than a football player. Looks like Lott and the 49ers kept him out of the end zone.
If he squared up and got momentum he'd run right through you, if you took the wrong angle he'd go right by. But he never showed anybody up, true professional.
Phenomenal backfield. Shanahan understood the value running the ball well. Firing him after one season, and then refusing to pay a portion of the salary owed to him was one of the dumbest and unethical moves Al Davis ever did. Karma is a SOB, Shanahan made davis pay as coach of the broncos in the mid to late 90s. The raiders have been cursed since then, and it continues today. They remain a top 3 worst and incompetent nfl franchises today
Wheeeew!!! Very respectable players. Could Ronnie Lott look average!! That guy was a hitter. How about #42 gets horizontal, and goes around 180 degrees before he lands, stopping Jackson at 1:06.
Not a fair matchup. If anything, makes me respect Lott even more, a DB, outweighed by at least 30lbs, getting in there and hammering on him, doing whatever he can. Impressive as hell. A fair matchup would be a LB on Bo.
just think if this man hadn't gotten hurt he might have been first and only player to have won a world series and supper bowl maybe even same year if not multiple years
Bo was great for sure but can you forgive Al Davis for having HOFer Marcus Allen at fb blocking on all those plays. He actually did an adequate job of blocking, a testimony to his versatility, humility, and football greatness.
Who won this head to head matchup? 🤔
Haven’t seen anyone get the better of Ronnie Lott, but Bo is just different. Bo won this
Neither!
Probably Bo. But put on a Tape of Raiders vs Bengals. I watched Bo run roughshod on our defense. But watch when 37 was in the Field.

One thing i noticed... there was nobody jumping in the opponent's faces after every play. There was soooooo much more respect back then.
People just playing the game, and slapping each other on the back after plays. It was a better time. Except for Bill Romanowski. F that guy 🤣
So difficult to watch the showboating games of today.
That was a good way to get targeted by the opposing team back then, when they were still allowed to hit each other.

Also, Deon Sanders, who was a two-way athlete, was the best DB in the league... hands down. He also returned kicks. So there is precedent for a two-way athlete doing it full time AND being the very best in the game at his position.
But I feel like my point is being missed here. Bo Jackson did NOT play enough, and did not play LONG enough to warrant the praise. In order to be put up there with the greats, you need to have a full career that can be properly judged. What Bo gave us was a hint, a snapshot of what MIGHT have been. He wasn't around long enough for us to ever know how good he truly was. That's all I'm saying.
BO KNOWS!!!🏈
@@thegrandpencil4374 Ok I get what your saying, at the same time I think Bo gave us enough film in college to reasonably assume that had he concentrated, directed his training and focus on football, he certainly had a hall of fame ceiling. The man won the Heisman trophy his final year at Auburn lol 278 carries for over 1700 yards and 17 TD's. With that size, strength and speed, there's not much reason to not think he wouldn't have been a not quite as bruising but really a faster version of Earl Campbell. And Earl dominated the NFL his first few seasons.
And to your Deion point, yes he was the all-time standard at the CB position, but his BASEBALL ceiling wasn't on Bo's level. Even he admitted that he was just ok in baseball. I think Bo had the PHYSICAL tools and raw talent to have been a potential HOF in either sport had he concentrated solely on that sport from the beginning. I don't know if Deion would have ever been a HOF in baseball no matter how full time dedicated he was to the sport.
This 49ers team was one of the best all time IMO. Miss this time in the NFL and Bo Jackson. Gone from the game too soon. Can’t help but think of what might have been.
Look at how.many guys in the box to try and stop the run and they still couldn't stop BO
Bo had excellent power & breakaway speed! Bo is my all time favorite Raiders running back, even above the sensational Hall of Fame RB. Marcus Allen.🏆🥇🏈👏🏼👏🏼
Bo Jackson ROCKS Ronnie Lott
Nah.
Bo was the best there ever was. Strength and speed unmatched.
Except for Earl Campbell. Now he was truly a tank that would steam role over u. I watched some of his games on my phone,and if hadn't seen it. I wouldn't believed it.
@@PaulZink-k8d Earl was incredible but I think Bo was a bit better. Bo was the fastest player in NFL history. He supposedly ran a 4.13 40 yard dash at 230 lbs. He also chucked Brian Bosworth like a child's toy. Earl was more of a cement mixer rolling over people much like Marshawn Lynch "The Beast Mode" who is my favorite running back.
Bo Jackson fan here...The title is misleading. It's Bo Jackson's runs vs 49ers 11/13/98...I will say, it was quite impressive how Bo knocked Lott off his feet. Raider Nation!
Ronnie Lott thinking to himself, "I don't get paid enough for this sh*t..." TWO real-life football legends! Lott and Jackson. I have been fortunate enough to have met both of these men. Both real gentlemen.
I don't know about that sir. Ronnie was a animal. Literally,. Look up what he did in a game where injured his finger pretty bad...
The last era in the NFL when the players were gladiators. Soon enough the NFL will require flags velcro’d to their hips
Two amazing players! He did helmet him straight into his body!
The play calling has gotten so much more creative in modern times
The legend of Bo Jackson can never be matched or lived up to. Not even by Bo Jackson
Namath was a great color man in the booth. This must’ve been a Monday night game.
I knew the voice but couldn't make the connection.
This wasn't monday night football. Especially without al michaels
This is the only guy that gets mentioned in the same breath as Jim Brown . If he had longevity , who knows how great he might have been. What a beast.
This game looked exhausting to see him run and take / dish so much punishment… I’m on chilling behind a keyboard. 👀
Truth of it is they both did Great job
You had to get Bo going sideways if he turned the corner or into the open field and got a head of steam you were in really serious trouble, the Hawks found that out MNF he ran past and over Kenny Easley and Brian Bosworth. I still have nightmares about that game. Go Hawks
As a Seahawk season ticket holder I was at that game. I remember after Bo ran past Boz he just kept running out of back of the end zone and thru the tunnel that lead out of the Kingdome!
@@danti59-z4b
Greetings from the UK, I was a kid when that game took place but I suspected he would have a great game against us. Bo had ominously shown that hat he was getting his football form back and was going to have a break out game unfortunately it was against us. I don't know if you remember seeing the British flag in the Kingdome in that period it was sent by Seahawkers UK, a British Hawks fan club I was a member of. Go Hawks
Earl Campbell set the standard for running with brute force. Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, John Riggins, and Jerome Bettis came later. Jim Brown played in an era where linemen weren't that much bigger than him and linebackers were about his size.
@@tubx3805 John Riggins came in the league in 1971 Earl Campbell in 1978. Jim Brown was the greatest running back of all time
Here’s what I notice about it. Marcus Allen blocking his butt off.
Defensive Backs were hurting after every game, facing Bo. He punished people
Ronnie Lott at 200 lbs was the hardest hitting DB in NFL history and a Hall of Famer. That being said, Bo Jackson was 240 lbs. and amongst the fastest players in the league, even at that size. Once Bo got a head of steam going, it wasn’t going to be easy to bring him down. Even 36 years later, that’s still freakishly fast for someone that size.
There were a lot of hard hitters in those days. Jack Tatum, Cliff Harris and Mel Blount to name just a few.
@@jamesspalten5977those players you mentioned had retired then
Jack Tatum hit harder
THe fact Marcus Allen could seamlessly switch to FB is underrated.
Is that Broadway Joe Namath doing the color commentary.
Love seeing the big shoulder pad days! Lower the shoulder and you were gonna pop someone good!
BO JACKSON and MARCUS ALLEN in the SAME BACK FIELD... LEGENDARY $HIT. 😂😂😂
Look how good Bo is running vs a great defense 2 hall of farmers on the 49ers in their prime Lott and Haley
Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, Bo Jackson. Beasts
It's too bad Bo suffered that freak injury, we'll never know how good he could have been. Just an incredible runner.
Its a shame his career got cut short he was a tremendous Athlete 😢
I love watching these days of football. Notice Bo didn’t celebrate or talk shit after the run. In the NFL now even after a basic tackle someone is celebrating, it gets old. I believe football was better when they didn’t get paid as much and actually had to work another job and played football because they loved the sport not for the money
I agree a 100 percent. That's when football was at its best. Its was about the game not the money.
Dumbest shit I've read today. Congrats Sir. 😂😂😂
The GREAT #32 MARCUS ALLEN leading the way at FB for #34 BO JACKSON before the injury the best backfield in NFL history…it could’ve been something wry special for us…
Bo was awesome . Eric Wright a Mizzou man
It looked to me like all of the Jackson-Lott meetings in this video were one-sided in favor of Bo.
Now, I remember a Raiders-Vikings game where Joey Browner man-handled both Bo and Marcus Allen.
Bo looks human. That doesn't take into consideration that everyone else had played a full preseason, training camp and numerous games at this point while Bo was coming in fresh and uninjured.
Why wouldn't he look human?
The Raiders were not a good team at this time. The 49er's were one of if not the best in the NFL, then.
Nobody would ever say Terrell Davis was better than Bo Jackson.
Ronnie Lott was a beast so was Bo. Safety verses running back. I think Ronnie wins this battle! Bo never gets past Ronnie.
Great all around athlete. Too bad he was injured playing football.
He was a definitely better baseball player than a football player.
Looks like Lott and the 49ers kept him out of the end zone.
If he squared up and got momentum he'd run right through you, if you took the wrong angle he'd go right by. But he never showed anybody up, true professional.
Best days of our lives
Bo was such a monster player.
Phenomenal backfield. Shanahan understood the value running the ball well. Firing him after one season, and then refusing to pay a portion of the salary owed to him was one of the dumbest and unethical moves Al Davis ever did. Karma is a SOB, Shanahan made davis pay as coach of the broncos in the mid to late 90s. The raiders have been cursed since then, and it continues today. They remain a top 3 worst and incompetent nfl franchises today
What year was this game, I’d like to look it up and watch the whole game.
Bo Jackson is top three greatest running backs of all time.
Wheeeew!!! Very respectable players. Could Ronnie Lott look average!! That guy was a hitter. How about #42 gets horizontal, and goes around 180 degrees before he lands, stopping Jackson at 1:06.
It's very unfortunate that Bo Jackson suffered a career ending injury. I believe he would have become the greatest running back of all time!
RL couldn't stop Bo. Period.
Yes he could. Seen multiple players stop him really. Comma.
He didn't do shit and he left with a Limp!😎 ❤️💛👑
Epic!
Bo Jackson straight BEASTIN’!!!!
Bo is the greatest American Athlete since Jim Thorpe.
Tecmo Bowl Bo....Is the greatest Athlete in video game history
Bo …an awesome athlete!
Hard runnin 👊
Not a fair matchup. If anything, makes me respect Lott even more, a DB, outweighed by at least 30lbs, getting in there and hammering on him, doing whatever he can. Impressive as hell. A fair matchup would be a LB on Bo.
how many hall of famers are on the field is this one game wow !
just think if this man hadn't gotten hurt he might have been first and only player to have won a world series and supper bowl maybe even same year if not multiple years
Steve Atwater would argue that
NINERS DEFENSE WAS SCARY GOOD! LETS GO RED N GOLD 4 LIFE!
Bo was great for sure but can you forgive Al Davis for having HOFer Marcus Allen at fb blocking on all those plays. He actually did an adequate job of blocking, a testimony to his versatility, humility, and football greatness.
