Former Kansas City Chiefs running
back Marcus Allen joined CBS Sports
in 1998 as a studio analyst on the
CBS Television Network's NFL
broadcast team. Allen, a 16-year NFL
veteran who played for the Chiefs
and Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, is
teamed with Jim Nantz, Craig James,
Randy Cross, Jerry Glanville and
Mike Ditka on THE NFL TODAY.
Allen, third all-time in career
touchdowns with 145, is also second
on the NFL's all-time rushing
touchdown list with 123. He is the
NFL's all-time running-back leader
in games played (222) and third in
pass receptions (587), as well as
seventh on the all-time list with
12,243 career rushing yards. A
six-time Pro Bowler, Allen was the

Raiders upended the Washington
Redskins, 38-9. He held the NFL
record for most consecutive games
with 100 or more rushing yards with
11 (10/28/85-9/14/86), but his
record was eclipsed by Barry
Sanders' 14 games in 1997. Allen
also possesses the third-highest NFL
single-season mark for most rushing
and receiving yards combined (2,314
in 1985).

Heisman Trophy, was a consensus
All-America choice and was named
