Why A Non-Quarterback Pass Could Swing the Momentum of Super Bowl LI

The Super Bowl is made to create memorable moments.

Most of these come from standard plays that produce incredible results, like The Helmet Catch or Malcolm Butler’s interception at the goal line. Other times, there’s some bold calls that come from teams trying to do whatever possible to gain an advantage, like the New Orleans Saints successfully pulling off a surprise onside kick to start the second half of Super Bowl XLIV.

In that vein, there’s the non-quarterback pass.

In Super Bowl history, there’s been five passes attempted by non-quarterbacks, with all them having been completed and three resulting in touchdowns.
