![Sanders was a machine against the Denver Broncos, posting nine receptions for what was a record 193 yards with two touchdowns and 29.9 fantasy points. The speedster averaged 21.4 yards per reception and found the end zone on long downfield strikes of 80 and 50 yards from game MVP Doug Williams.

![Smith came out of nowhere to rush for a Super Bowl record 204 yards with two touchdowns and 33.3 fantasy points in a 42-10 win over the Broncos. Amazingly, he rushed for more yards in that game than he did in the entire 1997 season (126). Smith's Super Bowl success didn't open a window to the future, however. He rushed for just 476 yards over the next two seasons combined before being out of football after the 1990 campaign.](https://static.www.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/league/zc28kmaydllfvwrqsi8d.jpg)
