My favorite football memory of all-time is of my favorite football player of all-time running and running and running in Super Bowl XVII.
I’m talking about John Riggins and his amazing performance against the Miami Dolphins that day.
In that game, John Riggins carried the ball 38 times for 166 yards, and one touchdown. That touchdown came on his famous fourth down run where he broke through the defense and ran 43 yards for the score. It’s my favorite football moment of all time.
One day I’d like to meet John Riggins and thank him for that memory. I replay that game in my mind often. Never have I enjoyed such happiness watching a football game.
