2 opposing players who both once caught passes in 1 Super Bowl game, later repeated the same feat by catching passes as opponents in another Super Bowl game played in the same stadium, and both players were on new opposing teams in the second Super Bowl game. Name the 2 Super Bowl games and the same stadium, the 2 players, and the 4 different teams?

Hmm... I thought maybe it'd be Marv Fleming with the Packers and Dolphins, but nope.

aha! I figured Ed McCaffrey was one of the players but I didn't have the time to dig deeper.

That is a great job, Bryan!

I believe the question would also be valid if the stadium component was not included, and it was just the 2 opposing players and 4 different teams.
So the stadium could make this harder or easier.

Not an easy one!

I was surprised at how the good teams of the 70's and 80's didn't really acquire players from other teams. They always drafted and developed their own players, and there seemed to be very little player movement. I didn't think I'd have to go that far into the Super Bowls to come up with the answer.
