The most versatile runner in NFL history — Marcus Allen's Super Bowl XVIII MVP performance, featuring a 74-yard touchdown run, is considered one of the finest in the game's history.
Marcus Allen was the most versatile and complete running back of the 1980s. His Super Bowl XVIII MVP performance for the Raiders in 1984 — featuring a spectacular 74-yard touchdown run that reversed field behind the line of scrimmage — is considered the finest individual Super Bowl performance by a skill position player. He became the first player in NFL history to rush for over 10,000 yards and receive over 5,000 yards.
His 74-yard Super Bowl XVIII touchdown run — in which he reversed field behind the line of scrimmage — is considered the greatest individual play in Super Bowl history.
