- reversed field and ran toward the right
- sideline. By avoiding five would-be tacklers,
- Marcus ran for 74 yards and the touchdown
- that clinched the game for the Raiders. In all,
- Marcus rushed for what was then a Super
- Bowl record 191 yards. (Timmy Smith of the
- Washington Redskins rushed for 204 yards
- in Super Bowl XXII, in 1988.) The Raiders
- won the championship, and Marcus was
