SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Top ten lists will almost always be opinionated — with that being said, the top 10 Super Bowl plays of all-time are listed below.
Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri starts at the bottom of the list with a field goal that begun the New England Patriots dynasty. Among the top 10 list, we have great plays from both the Raiders and 49ers featuring Marcus Allen and Joe Montana. Peyton Manning, Tracy Porter, Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger are all also on our list, but one of them is on for the wrong reason.
