uper Bowl XX

An excellent linebacker and relentless defender, McGrew will forever be remembered for a play he didn't make that occurred during Super Bowl XX between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears in 1986. One of the most famous plays in Super Bowl history was William "The Refrigerator" Perry's touchdown run. Lawrence was on the receiving end of the hit that propelled Perry into the endzone and into Super Bowl history. Lawrence was no match for Perry's momentum and wide girth and was consequently run over and flattened by Perry in the end zone. When Lawrence didn't get up immediately after the play a teammate came over and asked him if he was he okay. Lawrence replied "Yeah, I'm fine. But I just made ESPN highlights for eternity."
