Thomas Davis maintained confidence following the NFC Championship Game that a broken arm wouldn't keep him from playing in his first career Super Bowl.

The Carolina Panthers' star linebacker indeed took his place in the starting lineup Sunday against the Denver Broncos, and it wasn't long before he was flying around the field to make plays with a cast on his right arm.

That's how you chase down the flat route on 3rd and short. (Also #58 Thomas Davis has a broken arm!)

Having overcome three career ACL injuries to establish himself as one of the league's most dominant linebackers, perhaps nothing Davis does should be all that surprising anymore.
