Timmy Smith had run for just 126 yards in his whole rookie season before Super Bowl XXII. In that game he ran for a Super Bowl record 204 yards and 2 touchdowns as Washington beat Denver 42 to 10. In 1990 he ran for 6 yards in one game for Dallas, and his career was over.
His one big game is still the only 200 yard rushing game in Super Bowl history.
