Jeremy Lane victimizes Tom Brady with early INT but hurt on play

Jeremy Lane backed up his trash talk with a huge early play in Super Bowl XLIX.

The New England Patriots were poised to score and take the early lead on the Seattle Seahawks, with a long drive that was approaching eight minutes on their second possession by dinking and dunking their way down the field.

But Tom Brady threw a horrible pass in the end zone that Lane intercepted right at the goal line. He returned the ball to the Seattle 14-yard line, injuring his left elbow on the play. It appeared Brady was targeting Julian Edelman, but he was heavily covered.

Lane, who is the Seahawks' nickel corner and a special-teams ace, called out the Patriots' Rob Gronkowski prior to the Super Bowl.
