Malcolm Smith's Pick Six
Deadspin said that "The INT wasn't [Malcolm Smith's] doing — he was in the right place to snag a fluttering ball that went up for grabs because Cliff Avril was on [Peyton] Manning, just as Smith was the recipient of Richard Sherman's munificence at the end of the NFC Championship."
I can see their point about the NFC Championship, but I disagree completely with the Superbowl interception. Watch the video in the link. Manning's pass got tipped up, and the Denver receiver just stood in place, watching it go up and come down, never seeming to notice that it wasn't going to be coming to him.
Smith realized what was happening, darted around the receiver he was covering, caught the ball, and then took off running.
