What a pick it was. That’s not bad for anyone, let alone a big man like Ealy, who’s certainly not accustomed to catching passes.
He earned himself a high-profile fan for the play, too.
I see @KonyEaly94 tryin to join the 1 hand catch club! #SB50

While the interception led to a three-and-out from the Panthers, it was a huge play in the game. After a Mike Tolbert fumble halted a Carolina drive, the Broncos had already worked their way into field goal range and stood poised to add to their lead.
In the final minutes of the first half, he Broncos still lead 13-7 in Super Bowl 50.
