Cliff Avril in super Bowl

[biggunsbob]

Only had one tackle yesterday but it was a sack... And one QB hit... Any other Ex-Lions in the super bowl?

Don't feel like scanning the Broncos or the Seahawks' roster to find any other ex-Lions, but in SB history, the Lions have had two of their more notable kickers play on winning teams. Errol Mann in SB XI '76 for the Oakland Raiders, and Eddie Murray in SB XXVIII in '94 for the Dallas Cowboys. I don't think that any (former) Lion who played a key offensive position such as QB, WR, TE, or FB/RB has ever been part of a SB-winning team afterward, but I might be wrong. Not sure about D or OL either, there might have been a few.

paris lennon who was injured in the NE game...not sure how serious.

But as far as Avril goes...that strip sack was huge.

It was such a typical avail play. Outside speed rush, long looping ru that he only completed because the QB hung onto the ball for 6+ seconds. I'm still so glad we didn't play him big money to stay.

There had to be other ex-Lions....

Not winning but Rodney Peete was on the Panthers for SB XXXVIII loss to the Pats. Of course he didn't play. Off the top of my head the only former Lions QB to be on a SB roster.

Just thought of Charlie Batch. who was a BU QB for the SB XL and XLIII-winning Steelers, (as well as SB XLV in their loss to the Packers)but he didn't play in any of those games either.

Charlie Batch has 2 SB rings and 3 appearances
