In the AFC title game against the Oakland Raiders George Atkinson lit Swann up with a vicious hit. He suffered a severe concussion that forced him to spend two days in a hospital, but surprised many by returning to play in Super Bowl X. Swann recorded four catches for a Super Bowl record 161 yards and a touchdown in the game, assisting the Steelers to a 21-17 win and becoming the first wide receiver to earn Super Bowl MVP honors.
