ALAMEDA – Only one player in NFL history has recorded an interception and multiple sacks in the same Super Bowl.
That player had been unemployed since Sept. 1 until the Raiders signed him on Monday.
Kony Ealy, who tallied an interception, forced fumble and three sacks for the Panthers in a 24-10 Super Bowl loss to Peyton Manning’s Broncos in 2016, is the latest to hop on the Raiders’ defensive end turnstyle.
He trotted off the practice field with assistant defensive line coach Marco Coleman almost 10 minutes after every other defender on Thursday, playing catch-up with his own short week of preparation but eager to give the Raiders a much-needed boost come Sunday against the Chargers.
