Super Bowl XVII Recap | Super Bowl XVII Boxscore
Down 17-13 in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XVII and needing a big play,
the Redskins turned once again to running back John Riggins, who had been making
big plays for them all season. Washington faced a fourth-and-1 from the Miami
43. After taking a handoff, Riggins broke through the line and rumbled all the
way for a touchdown to give Washington its first lead of the game. The Redskins
went on to win 27-17.
The 43-yard run by Riggins, the game's Most Valuable Player, was immortalized
in one of NFL Films's most memorable images. Coming straight toward the camera,
the rugged running back fills the screen for several seconds as he chugs to
a place in Super Bowl history. While helping Washington win its first NFL title
since 1942, Riggins set a Super Bowl record with 166 yards on 38 carries.
The Super Bowl marked the end to one of the finest postseason rushing performances
in NFL history. Riggins had rushed for more than 100 yards in each of the Redskins'
four postseason victories.
