If you head over to SI's website, you can find this slideshow of the "Top 10 Super Bowl Moments" (under Super Bowl History, left side, "full coverage" page). Marcus Allen's 75-yard run appears as number 10. It put the Raiders up 35-9. It's no stretch to argue that Willie Parker's run will go down as a greater "moment": it was longer and far more important to the outcome of the game. But if that deserves recognition as the new #10 greatest moment in Super Bowl history, where do we rank the El pass to Ward, which was even more great and even more memorable?
Who will ever forget that play?
Nestled into a setting rich with mistakes and the mundane, were moments as great and as memorable as any in the history of the game.
