Oh well, I'll take a shot with Lawrence McCutcheon throwing to Ron Smith of the Rams in Super Bowl XIV, in January 1980. The pass gave the Rams the lead 19-17, before the Steelers scored twice in the 4th quarter to ice the victory, 31-19.

Percy Howard -- Super Bowl X

 

His only lifetime reception, as well ;)

 

I think there are more names on the East Texans in the Pro Bowl – Earl Campbell for one ...

 

Oh, well .......... next question:

 

Name the Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback, playing in the game only because of injuries to other NFC quarterbacks, who came off the bench in the 4th quarter & tossed two late touchdown passes – rallying the NFC to a 23-20 victory in the 1976 Pro Bowl.

FYI -- Top 5 rushing seasons by NFL QBs:

 

1. Bobby Douglass, 1972 Bears -- 968

2. Randall Cunningham, 1990 Eagles -- 942

3. Michael Vick, 2004 Falcons -- 902

4. Michael Vick, 2002 Falcons -- 777

5. Steve McNair, 1997 Titans -- 674

Name the first NFL kicker to go an entire season without missing a field goal or an extra point.

Gary Anderson -- 1998 Vikings .......... and then missed a crucial field goal (or extra point?) in the NFC Championship Game, if my modern NFL facts are correct !! :D
