Question

The Seahawks have Marshawn Lynch, the Broncos have Knowshon Moreno, and it appears that both teams will be led in rushing by a running back selected in the first round. Since the NFL moved to a 16-game game in 1978, this has happened only three times. Who were the six running backs involved in those games?

Answer

Following the 1978 season, there was Pittsburgh (Franco Harris) against Dallas (Tony Dorsett). In Super Bowl XVIII, there was Raiders (Marcus Allen) over Washington (John Riggins). And for the game following the 1999 season, it was St. Louis (Marshall Faulk) and Tennessee (Eddie George).
