Once the regular season wraps up, every team's record goes to 0-0. Anything can happen in the playoffs at any moment and American football fans got a lovely reminder of this during the playoff matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings. No matter the ultimate outcome of the playoffs, Stefon Diggs' touchdown catch and run in the final seconds is an iconic moment and this moment has been recreated in the best way: In Tecmo Super Bowl nostalgic glory.

The Tecmo Bowlers account and website has kept the Tecmo Super Bowl game alive by taking the classic game's style and applying it to current sporting events. The Viking's touchdown play involving Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs is the perfect subject for this classic reimagining, as the play itself resembles one of those wild types of plays straight out of a video game. After you check out the Tecmo Super Bowl version above, watch the miracle TD below to see just how well the Tecmo Bowlers did in their remake. The fourth quarter, in general, was pretty incredible to watch.
