OAKLAND, Calif. -- It was not quite Marcus Allen running with the night on his reverse-field, 74-yard touchdown run in Super Bowl XVIII.
Latavius Murray instead broke off a 42-yarder and went out of bounds with a safety having the angle on him. Nor did Murray fully go over the pile ala Allen in his heyday, but Murray scored just the same.
After his third touchdown run of the night, all from 1 yard out, Murray was magnanimous. He turned to find his right tackle. He spied Austin Howard, handed him the football and watched as Howard jubilantly spiked the ball as only a 6-foot-7, 330-pound man can.
