13. Lynn Swann’s Leaping Catch

Super Bowl X
Jan. 18, 1976
Swann racked up 161 receiving yards and a touchdown and was named the Super Bowl MVP, but the grace and athleticism he showed on a couple of key plays left a more lasting impression than any statistic. Late in the second quarter, with the Cowboys ahead 10-7, Swann managed to make a leaping catch near midfield, even after Cowboys cornerback Mark Washington tipped the ball. After juggling the ball for a couple seconds, Swann grasped onto it right before stumbling to the ground.
