Alex Mack, a crucial part of the Atlanta Falcons offense, will attempt to shrug off injury on Sunday when he plays in the Super Bowl with a fractured leg. “I wanted to make sure he could go do his thing and just really fly and haul. Mack is set to join a small group of players who have played in a Super Bowl with severe injuries. Terrell Owens caught nine passes for 122 yards in Super Bowl XXXIX weeks after fracturing a leg and tearing ankle ligaments - his surgeon had advised him not to play. At Super Bowl XXXVII two of the Oakland Raiders’ cornerbacks – Charles Woodson and Tory James – played on broken legs.
