A move straight out of the video game football playbook is gaining popularity in the actual NFL.

DeSean Jackson capped the Philadelphia Eagles’ December 19, 2010, victory over the New York Giants with a little extra running around. Jackson’s game-winning touchdown was the final component of a 28-point fourth-quarter comeback. His little dalliance was arguably as much celebratory as it was strategic but ensured the Giants wouldn’t have a chance to return fire.

Wide receiver Brandon Stokley pulled off that move after his improbable Immaculate Deflection.

No sooner than I write that Michael Vick isn’t in the Madden NFL 10 roster update, the Philadelphia Eagles sign him and end all the speculation.

EA game designer and ratings czar Donny Moore said Vick will don an Eagles uniform in the August 19, 2009, update for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. Moore talked with the First Cuts blog about re-integrating Vick into the world’s bestselling football game.
