SAN FRANCISCO _ The run as described by NFL Films narrator John Facenda was so moving to the late Todd Christensen that he got choked up just talking about it in an interview for “America’s Game: The 1983 Raiders.”

It’s still special to Marcus Allen, whose 74-yard touchdown run helped finish off Washington 38-9 in Super Bowl XVIII on Jan. 22, 1984.

“It was really sort of time travel, that’s basically what it was,” Allen said Tuesday at the media center for Super Bowl 50.
