For much of the season, Chase Blackburn watched the NFL season the way millions of other fans did — from his couch. He ended the season, however, in the middle of the New York Giants Super Bowl victory celebration.
“God gave me another opportunity to play,” Blackburn said at the Super Bowl media day Jan. 31. “I’m just trying to make the most of it.”
