PLAY OF THE GAME

PICK-6 ENDS SUSPENSE

Just about the time folks were saying, "No way Peyton Manning keeps playing like this," he got worse. On third-and-13 from the Seahawks 35 with 3:21 left in the first half, Manning 's arm was hit by Cliff Avril (56) as he attempted to throw a pass to Knowshon Moreno (27). The ball fluttered in the air to Malcolm Smith (53), who took off down the left sideline and into the end zone untouched for the fourth-longest interception return for a score in Super Bowl history. Seahawks 22, Broncos 0, and little Denver hope remained.
