Eason remains the only Super Bowl starting quarterback who failed to complete a single pass, though WR Stanley Morgan dropped what should have been an early TD. Still, Eason's most effective play on this day seemed to be curling up into a fetal ball in the face of the brutal Bears pass rush. It was so bad for Eason in the 46-10 loss that New England's Hall of Fame left guard John Hannah reportedly demanded that coach Raymond Berry bench the quarterback in favor of old warhorse Steve Grogan, which he did. Hannah has never said a nice word about Eason since.
