Nick Bolton made perhaps the most important play of Super Bowl LVII.

With the Eagles facing a 3rd and 6 early in the 2nd quarter, quarterback Jalen Hurts lost control of the ball. Bolton picked it up and returned it for an easy 6 points for Kansas City.

The play tied the game at 14-14 in the 2nd quarter. Bolton also provided the pressure on Hurts as he tried to escape the pocket.

Here’s a replay of Bolton’s touchdown:

Bolton is in his 2nd season out of Mizzou. He’s become a key player in Kansas City’s defense, starting all 17 games for the AFC Champions this season.

This was Bolton’s 2nd fumble recovery of the postseason. He also picked up a fumble in the Chiefs’ win over the Jaguars in the divisional round. It was also the 2nd touchdown of his career, with his 1st coming during his rookie campaign.
