Norton Jr also broke the hell out of Dana Stubblefield's shin (his own teammate, by the way) by diving over the pile and hitting DS's shin square with his helmet.
Napoleon McCallum was a classic Al Davis draft pick. The only reason he was a fourth round pick was because he had to do five years in the Navy. He was amazing in collage AMAZING!! But nobody is going to wait 5 years for a running back to grow sea legs. Well Al Davis wasn't a nobody, Davis was hoping for a David Robinson/Bo Jackson draft. Too bad about the knee, though they never played him enough to shine.
I am a faithful Raider fan. Was at this game and the playoff game in LA vs Bengals when Bo's career was ended. Two sad days in football. Napoleon and Bo are both fantastic men. Was sorry to see what happened but both have made their lemons into lemonade, so to speak.
Not a Raider fan but I remember watching this game when it happened, and I missed the play. I saw someone was down after the play, and I was thinking "Oh, they're replaying it and OH DEAR GOD."
McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee. McCallum was told that if the surgery did not go as planned, there was a chance his left leg would have been amputated.
I will NEVER forget seeing this I was in 6th Grade and am a DIE HARD Raiders fan, and that was beyond brutal. I have watched football all my life and seen many injuries but NOTHING as bad as that including the Joe Theisman L.T. Play.
OMG!!!!... Did it hurt?

@BoBoDibba Only hurts for a few seconds, then they inject some kind of medicine to make it go away.

I'm sure he is OK because it never seemed like football was his life & he is a United States Naval Academy graduate. Classy dude.
