Lynn Swann Super Bowl X | All 4 Catches | Greatest Performance by a WR

[@albertjimenez7896]

I cannot believe my eyes because Washington had him covered on all four plays and Swann still caught the balls.

[@ckobo84]

He was only covered on the second one because Bradshaw threw it to the inside for some odd reason when Swann was to the outside. If Bradshaw throws it to the outside Swann has an uncontested catch.

[@makaha5750]

Yes, I agree; Washington provided good coverage on Lynn Swann. This made 'Swanny' look even better.

[@davidmessersmith786]

Notice how professional and mature Swann is after the catches! No theatrics, just plain celebration with his teammates.

What made these catches even more incredible was the fact that Mark Washington had Swann covered like a blanket on all 4 catches ...... fortunately for Washington, he got to play in all 5 Super Bowls that Cowboys played in in the 1970's. He played a solid 10 seasons in the NFL from 1970 through 1979, and his teams won 2 Golds and 3 Silvers.

Swann's first catch was one of the greatest plays I have ever seen!!!! He literally is out of bounds, comes back in bounds, floats in the air and makes the play... AMAZING!!! The bobbling catch falling to the ground speaks for itself. What concentration!!! The final catch for the touchdown is the same play as the bobbled one, a post vs man to man. The greatness of this play is not the catch, but Bradshaw's bravery to hang in the box vs an all out blitz, knowing he was going to get blasted, and throwing a perfect strike. Everybody talks about Mahomes and Brady being great, and they are. All I know is when the money was on the table, Bradshaw delivered.. EVERYTIME!!!! 4 Super Bowls, 4 wins. Great players make great plays in great games. Two of the best to do it. Thanks for posting!!!

[@CCTH2221-lp2zj]

I was in 4th grade in North Jersey and this was the first Super Bowl I really watched. I remember that night throwing my foam football to myself in my bedroom and purposely bobbling it before catching it. Lynn Swann turned that Super Bowl into his personal showcase…

I was an Oakland Raiders fan back then who hated the Steelers because they kept knocking my Raiders out of the playoffs back then, but I say to this day, that Lynn Swann had one of the best Super Bowl games as a WR that I've ever seen; especially when you take into account how difficult 2 of those catches were!

[@gynandroidhead]

As epic as the second catch is, the clarity of mind to get yards after that catch is icing on the cake. The third catch is not the flashiest, but the positioning past the first down marker and cradling that bullet is still absolute textbook.

[@topJimmyP1984]

He was down by contact, should not have been awarded extra yards, Ref blunder.

[@michaellavin6417]

@@topJimmyP1984 Evidently, you are the type who desperately seeks to find at least one ground in a perfectly brewed cup of coffee. I suppose the cynic (or in this case one not a Steeler fan, perhaps) has his place, but not here. He was not down by contact because he did gain full control of the ball until after the contact. Since the rule requires the player to be down by contact, he continued to advance the ball. Swann was not "awarded extra yards." The refs spotted it properly.

[@mattbailey7049]

As a kid, pretending to be a quarterback out in the back yard, it was this last throw I always imagined I was making to win the game. I wasn’t old enough to remember this game, but a few years after it, they still showed the highlight someplace where i recall seeing it.

4-0 Super Bowl record. Great QB.

[@daveatkins3796]

The 2nd catch was one of the most illustrious and iconic catches in NFL history. The last catch he had came when the Cowboys came with an all out blitz which left Swann in single coverage. Not only was it an incredible pass, but it came under an intense rush where Bradshaw got knock silly by Larry Cole. Bradshaw never got a chance to admire his efforts.

[@braviafeed]

I remember being a kid watching this game, everyone in my house was going crazy after his sideline catch!

[@jhart05]

Wow. And Swann doesn’t get up pounding his chest saying “Look at me. Look what I did.” Miss those days when players just did their job and when we knew what a catch was without waiting 10 minutes for the replay to tell us.

[@fabiancardenas6970]

You will not find Lynn Swann on anyone's list of all-time top ten receivers but he is undoubtedly the most fluid, graceful, and acrobatic reciever of all-time. You don't hear Terry Bradshaws name mentioned when discussing the greatest Quarterback ever but in the 4 Superbowls he played in he was superb. Arguably the best deep thrower ever.

[@KennyBFunky]

Swann is on my personal list of all-time top FIVE NFL receivers. I don't care about inflated stats; I care about who can get it done when it counts the most, and nobody has ever been better at that than Swann.

Bradshaw's arm strength would STILL be considered top tier in the modern NFL. That TD ball to Swann traveled 65 yards in the air. That's an absolute MONSTER of a throw even in today's game.

" Would 'still' be considered top-tier in the NFL"? Bradshaw had the most powerful harm in NFL history--I'm talking distance plus the bullet speed getting it there. With a football that was more difficult to get distance with than today's footballs. Note that Terry never once in his career aired it out/i.e., threw it his hardest; even this last one at the end of Super Bowl X was not the hardest he tried/farthest he could throw it, although in this case, he at least looked "somewhat" close to doing that.

Swann’s second reception is probably the indelible memory most people have of this game, and among the most iconic plays in SB history, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t lead to a Pittsburgh score. His first catch, the big play in Pittsburgh’s first quarter drive to tie the game, is the finest sideline catch I’ve seen in nearly 60 years watching football.

[@mikel5582]

In a game of inches, every yard matters.

[@JTWaters68]

You are correct-- that second catch is the one replayed over and over again, and perhaps the most memorable catch in super bowl history, but the Steelers did not score on that drive. So it was really an inconsequential play, as great as it was.

[@jaydogtitan-ok3vw]

The first Super Bowl I watched in its entirety, I was 11 and although I was pulling for Dallas I have to say Swann earned MVP honors that day especially not being for sure if he was gonna play or not after getting knocked out of the AFC championship game against Oakland.

I just moved near Baltimore, and will be seeing a lot of Ravens games. Still, nothing has (and nothing will) surpass or even equal what the Steelers did then. Phenomenal.

Lynn Swan inspired a good friend to take ballet lessons. He saw a news story that Mr Swan took lessons to improve his body control and my buddy, as a kid, thought this was his way into the NFL.

That sideline pass and catch showed exceptional footwork

[@mcmillenandwife]

Agreed. 🎯 The NFL was less “turnover averse” in those days. The rules made it much harder to score compared to today’s game, so offenses had to take risks to score. Bradshaw had the arm to get it done, and IMO, Swann was by far the best receiver of the era. No receiver did more with such limited opportunities. Simply phenomenal.

Absolutely true. Today’s gloves provide a tremendous advantage.

Yet another reason why today's 'ootball is barely football.

If I could pick an all-time NFL team my starting WRs are Swann and Stallworth -- numbers/stats be damned. When they had to make the big plays, regular or post season, they always rose to the occassions. They didn't get to grab huge quantities of catches but on a team like this, making the plays they did with 3, 4, 5 receptions a game, with the hits they had to take from myriad great physical defenses, damn that's just sheer quality. I love Rice. Terrell, Moss and Carter, but pound for pound, it's Swann and Stallworth.

[@mcmillenandwife]

Agreed. Quality over quantity. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@vincekoep2050]

Effortless passes so great

[@QuickHittinEm]

Swann is the GOAT, followed by Rice, Moss, M Harrison, Stallworth, and AB

[@jefferysimmons4501]

Nah nah nah... Love me some Swann, but the G.O.A.T? Absolutely not!!! Jerry Rice is not only the G.O.A.T. from the receiver position, but many think he is in the conversation, with Jim Brown, as the greatest football PLAYER ever.

The ball travelled 65 yards in the air.... Bradshaw had a cannon for an arm.....
