After three consecutive three and outs, the Denver Broncos offense needed a spark. They got it from Jordan Norwood and their special teams.
Following a big stop on Cam Newton and the Panthers offense, Norwood caught a ball in traffic and returned it 61 yards, a Super Bowl record.

It looked as if the Panthers thought Norwood had called a fair catch, and you almost wonder why he didn’t, but it worked out in the end.
Unfortunately, the Broncos failed to capitalize on the opportunity, settling for a field goal after another quick three and out.
