Raiders Super Bowl MVP’s light Al Davis torch before Super Bowl LVIII

Super Bowl LVIII is about to kick off in Las Vegas. But before it does, just as before any game at Allegiant, the Al Davis torch was to be lit. For this honor, the Raiders had their MVPs from their three Super Bowl championships.

From Super Bowl XI was WR Fred Biletnikoff. He had four catches for 79 yards to help the Raiders fly past the Minnesota Vikings 32-14.

From Super Bowl XV was QB Jim Plunkett. Plunk threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns in a big win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

And from Super Bowl XVIII was RB Marcus Allen. Allen ran all over the Washington Redskins, including one of the greatest runs in NFL and Super Bowl history. He finished with 191 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.
