Bengals running back Joe Mixon had never attempted an NFL pass when he threw a touchdown strike to Tee Higgins during the second quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl loss to the Rams.
"Razzle-dazzle on a 2nd-and-6 for the score," NBC play-by-play broadcaster Al Michaels said.
"Mixon with a little skip, and a hop, and a touchdown pass," color analyst Cris Collinsworth added.
"Fifth time a non-quarterback has thrown a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl," Michaels added.
