Famously dubbed “Black Sunday” by NFL Films, Super Bowl XVIII put on display the best that the NFL had to offer as the Los Angeles Raiders drubbed the Washington Redskins, 38-9. The resounding victory rested on the running brilliance of Marcus Allen and the strength of dominating defense and special teams play that lifted the Raiders to the club’s third Super Bowl title in eight years. Clad in their famous black jerseys, the Raiders jumped on the scoreboard first as Derrick Jensen blocked a first- quarter punt deep in Washington territory and fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. In the second quarter, Jim Plunkett orchestrated an efficient three-play drive that culminated in a 12-yard touchdown pass to Cliff Branch. After a Redskins field goal, the Silver and Black defense would strike just moments before halftime. Keying on a Washington screen pass play that had worked successfully against the Raiders during a regular season meeting between the two teams, defensive coordinator Charlie Sumner inserted reserve Jack Squirek with time winding down in the first half. As Joe Theismann lobbed a screen out towards Joe Washington from the 12-yard line, Squirek stepped in front of the pass and returned the interception for a touchdown to
give the Raiders a 21-3 halftime advantage. The Raiders’ second half performance was just as dominant as the team shifted focus to its running game, led by Allen. The second-year running back scored a third-quarter touchdown on a 5-yard run before breaking off perhaps the finest run in Super Bowl history later in the same period. Allen took a handoff from Plunkett and started left on the play but went too wide for his blocking and reversed his field, burst free of pursuit and found the end zone after a 74-yard sprint to give the Raiders an insurmountable lead and give the city of Los Angeles its first and only Super Bowl victory. Allen was the easy choice as the game’s Most Valuable Player, gaining 191 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns.
