Probably the most famous instance was in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XII between the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos in the Louisiana Superdome. With 7:11 remaining in the game, Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach pitched the ball to fullback Robert Newhouse, who then threw an option pass to Cowboys wide receiver Golden Richards for a touchdown. The score clinched the NFL title for the Cowboys, who won 27-10.

Not in Super Bowl XVIII but I remember a couple of TD passes thrown by non quarterbacks. Running back Lawrence McCutcheon of the Los Angeles Rams threw a TD pass to Ron Smith in Super Bowl XIV and running back Robert Newhouse of the Dallas Cowboys threw a TD pass to Golden Richards in Super Bowl XII.
As of October 2023, there have been 10 non-quarterbacks who have thrown a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl. These players include wide receivers and running backs who have executed trick plays or special formations. Notable examples include wide receiver Antwaan Randle El and running back Julian Edelman.
