Deion Sanders was finally back on the sidelines this week for Jackson State after missing the past couple of games due to complications from surgery to fix a gnarly foot issue that has plagued him since his playing days.
He clearly wasn’t at full strength, though, as he was relegated to a chair on the Jackson State sidelines:

But, even though he might not have been at 100%, Sanders will be glad he was at Saturday night’s game, as his sons played huge roles in the Tigers’ come-from-behind win against Southern.
The Tigers won 21-17, improving to 9-1 on the season.
QB Shedeur Sanders threw the go-ahead touchdown pass with less than 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, then shared a special moment with his dad:

Then, to make matters even better for the Sanders family, Shilo Sanders came up with the game-clinching interception with 6 seconds left:

That’s just a special night for the Sanders family! We’re sure they all enjoyed it.
And, to make it even sweeter, Jackson State clinched the SWAC East title with the victory.
