Super Bowl LVI is just a few short hours away!Of course, this year’s edition of the NFL’s biggest game will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California and will see the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Los Angeles Rams.Ahead of the contest, though, we thought it would be best to have a look at five of the most iconic plays that many will remember from previous Super Bowl editions.Naturally, there is a number that can be chosen from, therefore this list is likely to split opinion and cause some healthy debate, but here are five that really do stand out for various reasons!Devin Hester’s 92-yard opening kick return in Super Bowl XLI for a touchdownDevin Hester should have, arguably, been a first-ballot Hall of Famer this year and was evidently disappointed when he found out he was. For many, one of the reasons why he should have been was because of the opening play of Super Bowl XLI.An All-Pro rookie at the time, the Indianapolis Colts decided to target him with the opening kickoff to try and put him under pressure. However, that backfired miserably.

Adam Vinatieri's opening kick would end up being fielded by Hester at the 8-yard line towards the left sideline, however he then broke through the entire field and returned the opening play for a touchdown! 14 seconds were taken off the clock and the Chicago Bears had a 7-0 lead!

Unfortunately for the Bears, though, this was about as good as it got as they ended up losing 29-17.

Julian Edelman catch at Super Bowl LI

We all might know about the connection between Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, but do not forget about the one that featured Brady and Julian Edelman, too.

The wide receiver was a vital and trusted weapon for TB12 in the New England Patriots offence, and it was evident in Super Bowl LI. Everyone remembers that the Patriots were 28-3 down at one point in that game, but Edelman came up with a clutch play to help the franchise win the game.

The wide receiver beat out a couple of Atlanta Falcons for the ball as it came down and he managed to get his hands on the ball, saving it from hitting the ground. The play was significant as it moved the ball past midfield and resulted in being involved in the game-tying drive.

Philly Special

The Philadelphia Eagles managed to win Super Bowl LII against the Patriots by some sheer innovative play-calling by Doug Pederson and then-quarterback Nick Foles.

The duo decided to fire up the ‘Philly Special’ which saw a Corey Clement-to-Trey Burton-to-Foles fourth-down sequence take place that gave the Eagles a 22-12 halftime lead and enough of an advantage that saw them win 41-33.

Malcolm Butler pick

When Cris Collinsworth exclaimed “I can’t believe the call!”, it is something many will have been thinking at the same time, as well as perhaps still having the same thoughts.

The Seattle Seahawks appeared to be in the driving seat to win Super Bowl XLIX as they were favourites to win a repeat title. They lined up at the 1-yard with 27 seconds left on the clock 24-28 down. A touchdown was all that was needed, so many would have thought the ball would have been handed off to Marshawn Lynch to try and bulldoze his way into the end zone.

Nope; Russell Wilson decided to try and force the ball in by throwing a pass to Ricardo Lockette, but Patriots’ Malcolm Butler - who was a rookie free agent - saw it all the way and managed to intercept the ball at the goal-line!

Tom Brady and Richard Sherman couldn’t believe it, either.

David Tyree helmet catch

When thinking about an iconic Super Bowl play, David Tyree’s helmet catch is going to be one of the most memorable for many due to how significant it was in a number of ways.

The New York Giants did not look like a Super Bowl XLII contender for much of the season, whereas the New England Patriots were undefeated and went to the game with a 16-0 record.

However, Eli Manning came up clutch as he found Tyree in the middle of the field when he should have been sacked multiple times on that play, but Tyree’s ability to keep the ball against his helmet is what is remembered by almost everyone. This 32-yard play set up the game-winning touchdown when Plaxico Burress caught the lofted pass in the end zone with 36 seconds left on the clock for a 17-14 win.
