Ed Marion

Ed Marion

Ed Marion (1927 - 28 April, 2008) was an American official in the National Football League. Marion was in the league from 1960 to 1987 and officated in Super Bowl V, IX and XI.

Marion is reviled by fans of the Minnesota Vikings for a call he made late in Super Bowl IX. With the Pittsburgh Steelers holding a tenuous 9-6 lead, Terry Bradshaw completed a 30-yard pass to tight end Larry Brown, but at the end of the play, several Vikings ripped the ball loose from Brown's grasp, and linebacker Jeff Siemon recovered for Minnesota. Marion, however, overruled the call of back judge Ray Douglas and field judge Dick Dolack, and instead ruled Brown down by contact. The Steelers kept possession and Bradshaw connected with Brown again for the clinching touchdown.

Marion died on 28 April, 2008. [ [http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AsNke0_UdtEmUhW_Bwh2VVMdsLYF?slug=ap-obit-marion&prov=ap&type=lgns Ex-NFL official Ed Marion dies at 81.] "Yahoo! Sports"]
