Who was the first quarterback to lead a team to a come-from-behind Super Bowl victory and to collect three Super Bowl rings?
Only four QBs have won three rings as starters: Bradshaw, Montana, Aikman and Brady. Each of them trailed at some point during their Superbowl wins, so I suppose that makes Bradshaw the first. The answer is Earl Morrall of the Baltimore Colts who replaced John Unitas who was knocked out of Super Bowl V in the second quarter and played the rest of the game. The Colts entered the 4th quarter trailing 13-6 and wound up scoring 10 points to win the game 16-13. Morrall then went on to the Miami Dolphins where he won two more Super Bowls as a backup to Bob Griese. So, he was the first to engineer a come from behind victory and he won three rings.
