AS THE FOURTH quarter of Super Bowl LVII neared 11 minutes, Kadarius Toney fielded a punt at his own 37-yard line while the Kansas City Chiefs held a 28-27 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Toney was surrounded by seven Eagles and had seemingly no way out of trouble. After taking a hit, Toney regained his balance and found one.
He reversed field and eventually made his way down the opposite sideline to complete the Super Bowl-record 65-yard punt return that set up the Chiefs for their final touchdown of the game.
The play made apparent the talent the Chiefs saw in Toney when they traded for him ahead of last year's deadline. But this season has so far highlighted why the New York Giants were so willing to trade Toney in the first place.
