Oops! Wade Phillips Receives Super Bowl Ring With Wrong Name

DENVER (The Sports Xchange) - Wade Phillips waited nearly 40 years to see his name adorn a Super Bowl ring. The veteran defensive coordinator still is waiting, however, even after the members of the Denver Broncos received their jewelry on Sunday.

It's not that 68-year-old Phillips didn't get a diamond-encrusted ring ... it's just that it had the wrong name.

Phillips received his championship ring with the name "Peters" on the side. No worries as a Jostens representative apologized and the company is sending a new ring within a week, Phillips posted on his official Twitter site.

If you're wondering, Denver assistant director of college scouting Adam Peters received his ring with the proper name on it.

Phillips oversaw a dominating defense that handcuffed Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. The Broncos' defense finished atop the league in most major defensive categories.
