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:
