Unveiled: The Hidden Super Bowl Records That Even Die-Hard NFL Fans Miss
Most Defensive Interceptions: Rod Martin with Three in Super Bowl XV (Jan. 25, 1981)
Ron Jaworski must see Rod Martin in his nightmares.
The Eagles quarterback was intercepted three times, all by Martin, in a 27-10 loss to the AFC champion Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV. Martin had just two picks the entire regular season, but the linebacker became the only player in NFL history with three in the Super Bowl.
There have been 11 other instances of two interceptions, most notably when Dwight Smith of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned both his picks against the Raiders for touchdowns in 2003.
