description

Legendary receiver Lynn Swann were looking for their fourth Super Bowl title in six seasons in this matchup with the Rams in Super Bowl XIV, but found themselves trailing by three coming out of halftime. Swann had no intention of letting that stand, however. On this third quarter play, he streaked downfield and made a sensational leaping grab between two defenders before tumbling into the end zone for a 47-yard score. Swann caught five balls for 79 yards and one score in the game, as Pittsburgh came back to win this one, 31-19, to win the title on Jan. 20, 1980.
