PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : RAIDERS : Allen Moves Up on Touchdown List

Share

Marcus Allen’s touchdown Sunday against the Raiders was the seventh of the season for the Kansas City Chief running back and the 105th of his career.

That ties the former Raider with Hall of Famer Don Hutson for sixth on the all-time list.

Ahead of Allen are Jim Brown with 126 touchdowns, Walter Payton (125), Jerry Rice (118), John Riggins (116) and Lenny Moore (113).

Raider receiver Tim Brown caught only one pass in the final 30 minutes of Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Brown did get his share of second-half action with his hands. He used them, however, for sparring rather than catching. Hit from behind after he had gone out of bounds by third-year defensive back Charles Mincy, Brown put up his fists and went after Mincy’s face mask.

“He’s a younger guy,” Brown said. “You can’t let younger guys get away with that. Ronnie Lott, OK, but not him.”

After struggling early in his first pro season, rookie running back Greg Robinson is starting to find his way through opposing lines.

In the last two games, he has rushed for 160 yards in 29 carries, an average of 5.2 yards.

Running back Napoleon McCallum, who has moved ahead of Nick Bell on the depth chart, has also moved ahead of him on the team’s rushing chart.

Bell has 63 yards in 21 carries. McCallum has 65 in 15.
