Panthers DE Kony Ealy Makes Nice Play for 1-Handed INT of Peyton Manning

With his team in danger of going down by two scores late in the second quarter of Super Bowl 50, Carolina Panthers defensive end Kony Ealy came up with a huge play to keep the deficit from growing.

On 3rd-and-8 from the Carolina 24-yard line, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning attempted to hit Emmanuel Sanders near the first-down marker. However, Ealy jumped up and snagged the pass with just one hand, which caught the eye of the one-handed-catch master:

The 6'4", 275-pound defensive end returned the interception 19 yards to the Carolina 39-yard line to give his team decent field position.

Carolina wound up going three-and-out on its ensuing possession, but Ealy's interception prevented points and flipped the field.
