What are some underrated/overrated Super Bowl plays?

Underrated: Mark Ingram 3rd and 13 conversion in SB 25. He caught the ball 7 yards short of the 1st down, broke 5 tacklers just to get enough to move the stick. Giants eventually finished that drive with a TD which was the difference in the game.
Overrated: Marcus Allen reverse TD run. Cool run but the game was pretty much in hand when it happened.

They recently did a top 10 plays in Super Bowl history. James Harrison's 100 yard interception return from Super bowl 43 wasn't on the list.
If that list is any indicator, that play is unbelievably underrated.

Super Bowl XXVII was great. Dallas crushed Buffalo, but the 9 turnovers were insane. Kelly gets hit near his own goal line and Jimmie Jones is jumping in to make a play. Next thing you know, the ball is in his chest and he’s landing in the end zone.
Ken Norton’s TD at the end…guy has all day to corral the ball for a walk in TD.
The Leon Lett/Don Beebe play is well-known for obvious reasons. Look at it from the start, and the ball bounces right to him setting up an easy run for glory. In a SB with a remotely close score, that blunder is magnified.

Most underrated is not one play, but the totality of his play:
Manny Fernandez had 17 tackles as a nose guard in Super Bowl VII for the perfect 1972 Dolphins and didn't win the MVP.

Only if you were a Dallas fan.
Objectively, that was an awful and uncompetitive Super Bowl. Potentially one of the worst 3 or 4 games in the history of the Super Bowl for neutral viewers. Up there with the 49ers and Redskins trouncing the Broncos.

Eli to Mario Manningham is underrated, probably the best throw I’ve ever seen

That stretch of NFC domination had some duds.
Bears/Patriots
49ers/Broncos
Redskins/Broncos
Redskins/Bills
49ers/Chargers
You can probably add 49ers/Dolphins, Giants/Broncos, and Cowboys/Bills rematch, as those games were foregone conclusions once the 4th was going.

Nobody will remember this in the future because SF lost, but Jauan Jennings had a hell of an SB two years ago
He was the number 3 WR for SF that year. Pretty much a nobody. 19 catches in the regular season, only 1 TD.
Goes 4 for 42 and a TD receiving. And a 21 yard pass TD. SF’s only 2 TDs of the game
Had the defense stopped Mahomes in OT Jennings had a serious MVP case

Underrated is the Santonio Holmes catch against the cardinals

Who the hell knows if that’ll be a catch today.

Super Bowl 5 with a minute to go, Dan Reeves has a catchable pass go off his hands and it's intercepted by Mike Curtis. Colts then kick the winning FG

An underrated play from the same game you're talking about with Mark Ingram Sr.
So Jeff hostetler was getting sacked in the end zone by Bruce Smith and Smith initially grabbed hostetler's wrist his right one. His throwing hand so hostetler was alert and brought the other hand back around to grab the ball to make sure that he didn't fumble
The play was a safety but had he fumbled that could have broke the game open for the bills I mean there's no sure thing that the bills recover that fumble in the end zone but you know what I'm getting at

Julio Jones sideline catch with 4 mins left in the SB.

Overrated
The Philly special. They didn't invent the play. Have seen it before then and after. That play happens all the time.

That 49ers beatdown was so bad they didn't show it in the John Elway Netflix bio doc.

Is there a more unlikable NFL HC than Dan Reeves?

Montana magic and the TD to Taylor gets all the love when it comes to beating the Bengals in the Super Bowl...
Underrated:
But greater, more improbabe, which won the game in the 3rd quarter is the Niners Goal Line stand against the Bengals in SB XVI.
The Niners led 20-0 at Halftime and after receiving the kickoff to start the 2nd Half, Cincy drove the ball 83 yards to cut the lead to 20-7.
After a Niners punt, Cincy drove the ball to the Niners 3 yard line with 1st and goal...instead of making the score 20-14 to end the 3rd quarter, the Niners stopped the Bengals on 4 downs.
The 49ers only gained 8 yards on their ensuing drive, and the Bengals got the ball back and easily scored to make it 20–14 with 10:06 left in regulation.
Niners end up winning 26-21...0h but for that goal line stand in the 3rd Bengals win the Super Bowl.

This play by Dont'a Hightower in Super Bowl 49.
This was first and goal on the final drive. Hightower is being blocked. Yet, he's able to dive at the feet of Lynch to bring him down on a play where it looks like Lynch has a clear path to the endzone. On the next play Seattle throws the INT at the goal-line to seal the game for NE.

That play makes me think of this play. His fundamentals at LB were about the best I've ever seen. A real technician.
