THE BULLETIN • FEBRUARY 4 - 10, 2021

Looking back on great
Super Bowl plays after a
year of uncertainty
Like just about everything in
American life the last year, Super Bowl
LV will look different.
Indeed, when the Kansas City Chiefs
and Tampa Bay Buccaneers square off
in the NFL title game on Sunday, Feb.
7, on CBS, both teams, announcers Jim
Nantz and Tony Romo and viewers at
home will likely be seeing a Raymond
James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., that
will be filled to only 20 percent of its
approximately 66,000-fan capacity,
meaning about 13,000 attendees and a
lot of cardboard figures. This per league
pandemic protocols, and as usual, that
could change by kickoff.
But what is known is there will likely
be a play, a drive or a defensive stand
that will have everyone talking Monday
morning. It could be a seemingly
impossible catch on fourth and long, a
key interception in the closing seconds
or a long field goal as time runs out.
But it will be something for which this
game will be remembered.
The following are a few from Super
Bowls past that stand out.
“The Tackle” (Super Bowl XXXIV:
St. Louis Rams vs. Tennessee Titans,
2000): Ahead 23-16 with 10 seconds
remaining, Rams linebacker Mike Jones
brought down Titans wide receiver
Kevin Dyson one-yard shy of the goal
line as time ran out, thus preserving the
Rams’ heart-stopping victory.
“The Helmet Catch” (Super Bowl
XLII: New England Patriots vs. New
York Giants, 2008): Giants WR David
Tyree hauls down a 32-yard pass from
Eli Manning, pinning the ball against
his helmet as he fell, a critical closing-
seconds play that kept the game-
winning drive alive in New York’s 17-14
upset of the previously undefeated Pats.
“The Stop” (Super Bowl XVI:
Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Francisco
49ers, 1982): It was only one yard the
Bengals needed to get into the end zone
and back into what was a 20-7 game in
the third quarter. But the defense didn’t
give an inch in four plays, the Niners
regained possession and went on to a
26-21 victory.
“Elway’s Helicopter Spin” (Super
Bowl XXXII: Denver Broncos vs. Green
Bay Packers, 1998): At third and six
from the Packers’ 12 in the third quarter
of a tie game, Broncos quarterback John
Elway’s decision to leap head-first over
a trio of Packers defenders resulted in a
spinning first down – and ultimately the
game-deciding drive in a 31-24 Denver
triumph.
“Riggins’ Run” (Super Bowl XVII:
Miami Dolphins vs. Washington
Redskins, 1983): Down 17-13 and
needing a yard to continue a third
quarter drive, Washington called on
bruising running back John Riggins
to go off tackle to get the first down.
But he did a little better, bouncing off
defenders and rambling 43 yards for the
score in a Washington 27-17 win.
“The Ambush”: (Super Bowl XLIV:
Indianapolis Colts vs. New Orleans
Saints, 2010): After watching his team
sleep-walk through two quarters, Saints
coach Sean Payton called for a onside
kick to start the second half. The
gutsy move paid off as New Orleans
recovered, drove down the field for a
touchdown that gave them the lead and
momentum in what would become a
Saints 31-17 victory.
