1976: Lynn Swann makes a diving catch in Super Bowl X that’s just a little too hard to describe right here
1997: Jerome Bettis barrels through the Bengals’ defensive line for a 6-yard gain

1967: Packers win the Ice Bowl after QB Bart Starr becomes the last player on the field not to freeze to death
