The first official (since 1982) is easy: Mike Davis of the Raiders against the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII (it appears on the NFL Films highlights with Sam Spence's Classic Battle in the background, one of my favorite pieces by him).

Davis is correct. A hint for the other part of the question is "why the hell didn't he audible??"

Super easy question: What do Fred Lane and Steve Young have in common?
Part 2: Can you think of anyone else?
"It was a different game when I played.
When a player made a good play, he didn't jump up and down.
Those kinds of plays were expected."
