Kadarius Toney’s hamstring (and ankle and anything else he has managed to injure during his professional career) held up enough for him to make a pair of game-changing plays in Super Bowl LVII.
The Giants exile’s fourth-quarter touchdown grab gave the Chiefs their first lead of the game. He then broke a 65-yard punt return — a Super Bowl record — to set up Kansas City’s final touchdown in its eventual 38-35 comeback win over the Eagles.
Toney’s performance has caused plenty of hand-wringing in the metropolitan area. Especially because Giants general manager Joe Schoen still enjoys an air of infallibility after a stunningly successful first season.
