18. Lynn Swann in Super Bowl X

WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Lynn Swann put together one of the most fantastic games in Super Bowl history on Jan. 18, 1976 despite catching just four passes. Those four passes went for an astonishing 161 yards and one touchdown in the Steelers’ narrow 21-17 victory over the Cowboys. Swann’s day went beyond statistics though.

He pulled in two of the most iconic catches in NFL history in this game, including two that went for more than 50 yards. Swann was named Super Bowl MVP. He’s the only Super Bowl MVP to ever touch the ball just four times. That is how dynamic of a player he was in this game and his career as a whole.
