Did anyone have this prop bet?

For the second time in three years, a safety was the first score of a Super Bowl. Check out what happened on the Broncos' first play from scrimmage:

No idea what happened there, but it's clear Peyton Manning wasn't expecting the snap to come and the ball sailed over his head and into the end zone. That play set a new Super Bowl record for the fastest score at just 12 seconds into the game.
