Techmobowl of DEATH

When I was about 8 years old, I had a game called Techmobowl for the NES. I got it from an old man at a garage sale, and the price of the game was $6.66. That always made me feel... WEIRD. So I brought the game home, and put it in my NES, ready to enjoy playing football as a video game. But boy was I ever wrong!
When I played the game, every time my team tackled a character, that character would stay down, and there would be one less person on their team.
I won the game pretty easily (as you can imagine) but then something weird happened. The tackled characters got up, one by one, and looked right at the screen. Then, they jumped out of the screen! And they tackled me! And I DIED!
