Jeremy Lane intercepts Tom Brady in end zone but suffers ugly injury

Jeremy Lane backed up his trash talk with a huge play early in Super Bowl XLIX.

The New England Patriots were poised to score and take the lead on the Seattle Seahawks, with a long drive that was approaching eight minutes on their second possession by dinking and dunking their way down the field.

But Tom Brady threw a horrible pass in the end zone that Lane intercepted at the goal line. He returned the ball to the Seattle 14-yard line, injuring his left wrist on the play. It appeared Brady was targeting Julian Edelman, but he was heavily covered.

Lane, who is the Seahawks' nickel corner and a special-teams ace, called out the Patriots' Rob Gronkowski prior to the Super Bowl.

Lane has been carted to the locker room for X-rays on his wrist and is listed as doubtful to return. And now we know why. The injury looked awful. Here's a Vine of it below, but consider this a warning: It's not for the faint of heart.
