At a recent Super Bowl halftime show, Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones told the crowd \u201cWe could have played at the first Super Bowl!\u201d\u00a0 He\u2019s right, as the Stones were about four years into their slice of the British Invasion at the time of the inaugural Super Bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

This writer has been on this earth for all 57 games.\u00a0 I have seen all or parts of 55 of them.\u00a0 I have missed only two of them.\u00a0 For one of the ones I missed, I was a little kid putting together a model of a Gemini rocket downstairs in our playroom.\u00a0 For the second one, I was on a plane from Denver to Boston coming back home from a vacation.\u00a0 Otherwise, for me it\u2019s a don\u2019t miss event.<\/span><\/p>\n

I used to go to lavish parties and get-togethers with friends and future in-laws.\u00a0 Now, it\u2019s just stay at home and let the wife, and now kids, throw together a Super feast.\u00a0 The menu for Super Bowl LVIII is still being discussed.\u00a0 Right now, fried chicken might be out in front.\u00a0 My oldest daughter makes a terrific bean dip and queso, among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that I am retired, I had the time to sit down and rank the previous 57 Super Bowls from worst to best.\u00a0 Naturally, any list like this is subject to mass scrutiny.\u00a0 I\u2019m good.\u00a0 Bring it on.\u00a0 Enjoy the game on Sunday and dream of the days when it was your team we were waiting with baited breath to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

#57 \u2013 Super Bowl V\u00a0 Baltimore 16, Dallas 13<\/b>\u00a0 Forget the walk-off field goal by Jim O\u2019Brien.\u00a0 Lousy, mistake-filled game with 11 combined turnovers.\u00a0 The three Colt narrators for NFL Network\u2019s <\/span>America\u2019s Game<\/span><\/i> all felt ashamed of that game and spent more time lamenting losing Super Bowl III to the Jets two years earlier.\u00a0 Bubba Smith said he never wore his Super Bowl V ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

#56 \u2013 Super Bowl XX\u00a0 Chicago 46, New England 10<\/b>\u00a0 After the then-quickest score in Super Bowl history by the Patriots, the Bears slaughtered them.\u00a0 The game had zero drama and went over well only in the Windy City.\u00a0 The Patriots were held to seven total team rushing yards and gave up seven quarterback sacks.\u00a0 This was an awful week; two days later, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 77 seconds into the flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

#55 \u2013 Super Bowl XXIV\u00a0 San Francisco 55, Denver 10<\/b>\u00a0 Fortunately for the Patriots, this game remains the biggest slaughter in Super Bowl history.\u00a0 The 49ers scored eight touchdowns, Joe Montana threw for five of them, and the Broncos looked like a college team.\u00a0 San Francisco outgained Denver in total yards 461-167.<\/span><\/p>\n

#54 \u2013 Super Bowl XL\u00a0 Pittsburgh 21, Seattle 10<\/b>\u00a0 This game is remembered for the officiating.\u00a0 Two and perhaps three critical calls all went against the Seahawks, the team that most fans outside of western Pennsylvania watching thought was the better team that evening.\u00a0 Penalties are still not reviewable in today\u2019s NFL.\u00a0 The league chooses its postgame officials carefully, but in this case some of them acted as it they may have been slightly biased.<\/span><\/p>\n

#53 \u2013 Super Bowl XXVII\u00a0 Dallas 52, Buffalo 17<\/b>\u00a0 Buffalo\u2019s third straight Super Bowl turned into a horrific loss, as Dallas won its first Super Bowl in the Jerry Jones era.\u00a0 Buffalo committed eight turnovers and Dallas turned them into 35 points.\u00a0 The game may be better remembered for a Dallas error, as Steve Tasker stripped Leon Lett just shy of a scoop and score touchdown, embarrassing the lineman, and that would not be the last time Lett made a dumb play at the goal line.<\/span><\/p>\n

#52 \u2013 Super Bowl II\u00a0 Green Bay 33, Oakland 14<\/b>\u00a0 This game is famous only for it being the final game Vince Lombardi coached at Green Bay.\u00a0 Otherwise, Oakland was badly outclassed and Pete Rozelle considered aligning the postseason differently in the years ahead.\u00a0 At halftime, Packer guard Jerry Kramer said to his teammates, \u201cBoys, let\u2019s play these last 30 minutes for the old man!\u201d\u00a0 That they did.<\/span><\/p>\n

#51 \u2013 Super Bowl XXVI\u00a0 Washington 37, Buffalo 24<\/b>\u00a0 For the second straight year, Buffalo lost a Super Bowl to a second string quarterback.\u00a0 Redskins QB Mark Rypien turned in one of those performances that fall into that \u201cfifteen minutes of fame\u201d category.\u00a0 The game otherwise lacked any drama at all, as Buffalo still seemed to be reeling from \u201cwide right\u201d the year before.<\/span><\/p>\n

#50 \u2013 Super Bowl XLVIII\u00a0 Seattle 43, Denver 8<\/b>\u00a0 Denver\u2019s first play of the game turned into a safety for Seattle, and the game went downhill from there for the Broncos.\u00a0 The otherwise non-dramatic contest is famous only for the fact that it remains the one and only Super Bowl played outdoors in a cold weather city, as the game was held at MetLife Stadium in the Jersey Meadowlands.\u00a0 The weather was merely cool, but the Seahawks were red hot.<\/span><\/p>\n

#49 \u2013 Super Bowl XVIII\u00a0 Los Angeles Raiders 38, Washington 9<\/b>\u00a0 Famous only for a pick-six by linebacker Jack Squirek and a scintillating 74-yard touchdown run by Marcus Allen, the Raiders stifled the defending champion Redskins and turned it into a rout.\u00a0 As was the case with Super Bowl XV, the trophy presentation from Rozelle to Al Davis provided the only drama of the day, as Davis had sued the NFL to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

#48 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXIII\u00a0 Denver 34, Atlanta 19<\/b>\u00a0 Atlanta\u2019s first ever Super Bowl appearance turned into Denver\u2019s second straight win, which was the final game of John Elway\u2019s career.\u00a0 Fans thinking Minnesota would represent the NFC instead of Atlanta were disappointed as the Falcons were outclassed all the way by the Broncos, and the game itself provided little to no excitement.<\/span><\/p>\n

#47 \u2013 Super Bowl XII\u00a0 Dallas 27, Denver 10<\/b>\u00a0 The first-ever indoor Super Bowl was also Denver\u2019s Super Bowl debut.\u00a0 But Dallas, making sure they would never be called \u201cnext year\u2019s champions\u201d ever again, won their second Super Bowl like they did their first, in \u201cleave no doubt\u201d fashion.\u00a0 Butch Johnson had one of the prettiest touchdown catches in Super Bowl history, and this game was the only one with two MVPs, Harvey Martin and Randy White.<\/span><\/p>\n

#46 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXVII\u00a0 Tampa Bay 48, Oakland 21<\/b>\u00a0 Tampa Bay\u2019s Super Bowl debut was really something.\u00a0 For the only time ever, the winning head coach beat the team he coached the previous year, as Jon Gruden showed that he \u201ccould take his\u2019n and beat your\u2019n, then take your\u2019n and beat his\u2019n\u201d.\u00a0 Gruden was obviously way ahead of his old team, as Oakland QB Rich Gannon threw three pick-sixes and five total interceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

#45 \u2013 Super Bowl XXII Washington 42, Denver 10<\/b>\u00a0 This game was historic thanks to the fact that Doug Williams became the first black quarterback to play in a Super Bowl.\u00a0 Otherwise, Washington dropped five touchdowns on Denver in the second quarter en route to a rout which was quite uninteresting in the second half.\u00a0 Denver cut a bigger Super Bowl stinker two years later, but this was the second straight Super Bowl that John Elway and his mates were obliterated in.<\/span><\/p>\n

#44 \u2013 Super Bowl XLI\u00a0 Indianapolis 29, Chicago 17<\/b>\u00a0 In a downpour in Miami, the Colts slogged their way to only their second Super Bowl win in franchise history and the only one with the team based in Indiana.\u00a0 Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, but it was all Colts thereafter.\u00a0 Peyton Manning would win his first of two Super Bowls, but it was against the worst opposing offense in SB history and on a rain-soaked field.<\/span><\/p>\n

#43 \u2013 Super Bowl VI\u00a0 Dallas 24, Miami 3<\/b>\u00a0 The Cowboys finally got their first title, against a Dolphin team that was as outclassed as it could be.\u00a0 President Nixon called a play for Miami, they ran it, and it was an incomplete pass.\u00a0 Bob Lilly sacked Bob Griese for a 29-yard loss.\u00a0 Dallas had a sound game plan and executed it perfectly, but the game was really not very entertaining.\u00a0 The game did lay the foundation for what the Dolphins would do the next season, in 1972.<\/span><\/p>\n

#42 \u2013 Super Bowl XI\u00a0 Oakland 32, Minnesota 14<\/b>\u00a0 Patriot fans are sick over this game, as they feel this should have been a win for the Patriots and not the Raiders.\u00a0 Minnesota showed again that they could not play in the big game, losing their fourth Super Bowl without a win.\u00a0 The only memorable play from this game was Willie (\u201cOld Man Willie!\u201d) Brown\u2019s pick-six.\u00a0 Otherwise, it was a convincing win by the Raiders, who got to play in this game thanks to Ben Dreith.<\/span><\/p>\n

#41 \u2013 Super Bowl XXVIII\u00a0 Dallas 30, Buffalo 13<\/b>\u00a0 Buffalo completed their fourth straight Super Bowl with their fourth straight loss.\u00a0 A tight game was broken open in the second half, and fans across the nation who hate Dallas were disappointed again as Dallas won the second of three Super Bowls in four years.\u00a0 It was Jimmy Johnson\u2019s last game as Dallas head coach as Jones would part ways with Johnson in the offseason, a decision that Jones is still paying for to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

#40 \u2013 Super Bowl XV\u00a0 Oakland 27, Philadelphia 10<\/b>\u00a0 Patriot fans may have hated this Super Bowl worse than XI.\u00a0 Here\u2019s Jim Plunkett, looking like Superman at quarterback, leading the Raiders to their second Super Bowl win.\u00a0 Plunkett, a Patriot from 1971-75, was game MVP as his Raiders totally throttled the Eagles, and the game was anything but suspenseful.<\/span><\/p>\n

#39 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXI\u00a0 Green Bay 35, New England 21<\/b>\u00a0 Bill Parcells\u2019 dalliance with the Jets took away any chance of the Patriots winning this game.\u00a0 It was 14-10 Pats after one quarter, then 27-21 Packers in the third quarter.\u00a0 But Desmond Howard scored on a 99-yard kickoff return, and Reggie White put the game away by personally bludgeoning Drew Bledsoe.\u00a0 The game was at least competitive until Howard\u2019s scamper.<\/span><\/p>\n

#38 \u2013 Super Bowl XIX\u00a0 San Francisco 38, Miami 16<\/b>\u00a0 This game should be a top-ten game with the quarterback matchup of Joe Montana and Dan Marino.\u00a0 Instead, it was mostly a dud with the 49ers easily dominating the Dolphins.\u00a0 Marino would never make it back to the Big Show, while Montana still had two more.\u00a0 Game was played at Stanford University, as for some reason Palo Alto, Calif. bid for the game while San Francisco did not.<\/span><\/p>\n

#37 \u2013 Super Bowl XXIX\u00a0 San Francisco 49, San Diego 26<\/b>\u00a0 Steve Young had his one day totally free from the shadow of Montana, throwing for a Super Bowl record six touchdown passes to squash San Diego in their only Super Bowl appearance to date.\u00a0 The Chargers were 18-point dogs in this game, and the 49ers responded with still another Super Bowl blowout win.\u00a0 Young totally enjoyed this win, and let it all out during the ABC postgame show.<\/span><\/p>\n

#36 \u2013 Super Bowl VIII \u2013 Miami 24, Minnesota 7 <\/b>\u00a0Still buoyant following the huge loss to Dallas two seasons ago and the perfect season the previous year, Miami bullied the Vikings with a punishing running game and thoroughly dominated this otherwise nondescript game.\u00a0 This game was played in Houston, but at Rice Stadium and not the Astrodome, thinking that Rice Stadium was bigger and better equipped to handle this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

#35 \u2013 Super Bowl XXI\u00a0 NY Giants 39, Denver 20<\/b>\u00a0 Until Denver finally won eleven years later, the Broncos were terrible in the Big Show.\u00a0 The Giants won their first title since 1956 and the first of two for Bill Parcells.\u00a0 Phil Simms, roundly booed when he was drafted by the Giants in 1979, had a biblical game, completing 22 of 25 passes.\u00a0 Denver led early but the Giants clobbered the Broncos 30-10 in the second half.<\/span><\/p>\n

#34 \u2013 Super Bowl XVII\u00a0 Washington 27 Miami 17<\/b>\u00a0 This game was the culmination of a strike year, which featured only a nine-game regular season.\u00a0 The Redskins won their first Super Bowl as they gained revenge for losing to Miami ten years prior.\u00a0 John Riggins broke open the game with a terrific 43-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to give Washington the lead for good.\u00a0 The strike left a bad taste in everyone\u2019s mouth, but don\u2019t tell that to Washington fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

#33 \u2013 Super Bowl XXX\u00a0 Dallas 27, Pittsburgh 17<\/b>\u00a0 Dallas won its third Super Bowl in four years, something the Patriots would duplicate a decade later.\u00a0 This game is notable only for Larry Brown having a lucky game with two interceptions to earn game MVP honors, then was given a free agent contract by Oakland he had no business receiving and which turned out to be a bust signing for the Raiders.\u00a0 Troy Aikman cemented his Hall of Fame status in the win, but coach Barry Switzer got the win with Jimmy Johnson\u2019s guys.\u00a0 No titles since for the Cowboys.<\/span><\/p>\n

#32 \u2013 Super Bowl 50\u00a0 Denver 24, Carolina 10<\/b>\u00a0 The silver anniversary of the Big Game did not receive the game it deserved.\u00a0 Fans and media types made a big deal out of why it was Super Bowl 50 and not Super Bowl L.\u00a0 Cam Newton\u2019s lack of intestinal fortitude was badly exposed in a lost fumble play, Peyton Manning did next to nothing on offense, and the game MVP was linebacker Von Miller, and deservedly so.\u00a0 The game was mostly non-entertaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

#31 \u2013 Super Bowl I\u00a0 Green Bay 35, Kansas City 10<\/b>\u00a0 \u00a0 Historically significant in that it was the first one, and the Chiefs did play the Packers tight in the first half.\u00a0 But the Packers dominated the second half, and they won the mostly non-competitive inaugural Super Bowl.\u00a0 After the game, Vince Lombardi acknowledged that the Chiefs didn\u2019t measure up to the rest of the NFL.\u00a0 But the win had to take its toll on Lombardi, who was under tremendous pressure to win and would be dead of cancer three years later.<\/span><\/p>\n

#30 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXIX\u00a0 New England 24, Philadelphia 21<\/b>\u00a0 The game was competitive up until Rodney Harrison\u2019s late interception, but the game lacked drama and was played in a city which got a bad rap for being an inadequate host city (Jacksonville).\u00a0 The Patriots did complete a three wins in four years run in Super Bowls, but the game itself remains probably the least compelling win of all the twelve Boston area sports titles in the 2000s.<\/span><\/p>\n

#29 \u2013 Super Bowl LIII\u00a0 New England 13, LA Rams 3 <\/b>\u00a0If you love rockfights and defensive stalemates, this game was for you.\u00a0 One touchdown was scored, a fourth quarter touchdown by Sony Michel.\u00a0 It is the lowest scoring Super Bowl in history and only the second one where the loser was held to only a field goal.\u00a0 Bill Belichick outcoached the snot out of Sean McVay, but that\u2019s like watching Bobby Fischer beating Boris Spassky in chess in Iceland in 1972.\u00a0 Belichick and Tom Brady each won their record sixth Super Bowl, and the Patriots tied Pittsburgh for the most wins in the Big Game.<\/span><\/p>\n

#28 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXII\u00a0 Denver 31, Green Bay 24 <\/b>\u00a0First time Denver won one, first time Green Bay lost one.\u00a0 John Elway\u2019s whirlybird run for a first down late in the game is the indelible memory of this one, a fairly entertaining game which sent the state of Colorado into complete delirium.\u00a0 Owner Pat Bowles declared \u201cThis\u2026one\u2019s\u2026for\u2026John!\u201d, and Elway held up his first Vince with a smile that only a dentist could love.<\/span><\/p>\n

#27 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXV\u00a0 Baltimore Ravens 34, NY Giants 7<\/b>\u00a0 This game really hurt the feelings of all Cleveland Browns fans.\u00a0 Just five years removed from abandoning perhaps the most loyal fan base in the country, the Ravens won their first Super Bowl.\u00a0 This Raven defense took over as the best one-season defense in league history.\u00a0 But seeing Art Modell hold up the trophy at game\u2019s end had to be galling for all of Northeast Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n

#26 \u2013 Super Bowl XIV\u00a0 Pittsburgh 31, LA Rams 19<\/b>\u00a0 Lots of football observers liked this Super Bowl the best at the time, even though the one the year before was much better.\u00a0 It was close until the Steelers blew it open with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.\u00a0 Pittsburgh won their fourth Super Bowl in six years, and this was the last curtain call for the Steel Curtain defense.<\/span><\/p>\n

#25 \u2013 Super Bowl IV\u00a0 Kansas City 23, Minnesota 7<\/b>\u00a0 Again, history reigns supreme over what was a nondescript blowout win by the Chiefs over an unprepared Viking powerhouse team.\u00a0 Kansas City, a huge underdog, fired one last salvo for the AFL on the day it ceased to exist.\u00a0 The last pre-merger title game helped set up the Super Bowl for what it would become.\u00a0 The Chiefs finished the job the Jets began the previous year.\u00a0 Hank Stram became a rock star by being miked the entire game.<\/span><\/p>\n

#24 \u2013 Super Bowl LII\u00a0 Philadelphia 41, New England 33<\/b>\u00a0 Bill Belichick will take this to his grave.\u00a0 Why didn\u2019t he play Malcolm Butler?\u00a0 The result was one of the worst defensive performances in Super Bowl history.\u00a0 A nondescript coach and backup quarterback bested Belichick and Tom Brady.\u00a0 Brady had a game for the ages, but it was wasted thanks to the defense.\u00a0 Philly won their first title since 1960, but this was definitely one game where the better team didn\u2019t win.<\/span><\/p>\n

#23 \u2013 Super Bowl IX\u00a0 Pittsburgh 16, Minnesota 6 <\/b>\u00a0Finally, after 42 years in the league, the Steelers won a championship.\u00a0 Art Rooney stoically accepted the Lombardi Trophy as the rest of the football world happily looked on.\u00a0 Pittsburgh flexed its defensive might by scoring the first safety in Super Bowl history, and by holding the Vikings to only 17 team rushing yards.\u00a0 The Steelers were now top dogs in the NFL and would stay so for the rest of the decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

#22 \u2013 Super Bowl LIV\u00a0 Kansas City 31, San Francisco 20 <\/b>\u00a0After 50 years, the Chiefs finally played in, and won, a second Super Bowl.\u00a0 Patrick Mahomes began his ascent to being the future figurehead of the league with a brilliant performance, and Jimmy Garoppolo showed the nation (including Patriot Nation) that he is not quite the prime time quarterback he would like to be by throwing two picks and surrendering a game-clinching sack in the fourth quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

#21 \u2013 Super Bowl XLVII\u00a0 Baltimore Ravens 34, San Francisco 31<\/b>\u00a0 This game is famous for being nicknamed the \u201cHarbaugh Bowl\u201d, as John\u2019s Ravens took on Jim\u2019s 49ers in the first head coaching brother duel in the Super Bowl.\u00a0 Baltimore jumped out to a good lead before a light malfunction in the third quarter at the Superdome in New Orleans gave the 49ers time to regroup and mount a comeback.\u00a0 Jim is now back in the NFL, and we look forward to a Chargers-Ravens Super Bowl and some brotherly revenge possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

#20 \u2013 Super Bowl VII\u00a0 Miami 14, Washington 7<\/b>\u00a0 History again takes precedence here as Miami completed the one and only perfect season in league history.\u00a0 The Dolphins finished 17-0 after holding off the Redskins in the final quarter.\u00a0 This game showed a team\u2019s real attitude towards the kicker, as Miami players and coaches threatened Garo Yepremian with bodily harm after his foolish attempt at a pass off a blocked field goal attempt (which was returned for a scoop and score by Dick Bass) if the Dolphins lost the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

#19 \u2013 Super Bowl XVI\u00a0 San Francisco 26, Cincinnati 21<\/b>\u00a0 This was the first Super Bowl played in a cold weather city (Pontiac, Michigan), and the game that launched the 49ers dynasty.\u00a0 Joe Montana was surgical in dissecting the Bengals\u2019 defense, and despite both teams playing quite well, Montana proved to be the difference as he brought San Francisco its first title as a city (the NBA\u2019s Golden State Warriors were based in Oakland back then).<\/span><\/p>\n

#18 \u2013 Super Bowl XLV\u00a0 Green Bay 31, Pittsburgh 26<\/b>\u00a0 This game featured two teams with a rich Super Bowl history between them.\u00a0 The Steelers made a game of it until the Packers put them away in the fourth quarter with a Mason Crosby field goal and a defensive stand.\u00a0 This game put Aaron Rodgers on the map, even though he has not been back to the big game since.<\/span><\/p>\n

#17 \u2013 Super Bowl LV\u00a0 Tampa Bay 31, Kansas City 9 <\/b>\u00a0San Francisco should pop in the tape of this game if they want to see how to shut down Patrick Mahomes.\u00a0 Meanwhile, all of Patriot Nation looked on in disgust as Tom Brady, in his first season as a Buccaneer, won his seventh Super Bowl.\u00a0 The first three Tampa Bay TDs were all scored by ex-Patriots (two by Rob Gronkowski and one by Antonio Brown).\u00a0 Lots of indigestion at New England game parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

#16 \u2013 Super Bowl XLIV\u00a0 New Orleans 31, Indianapolis 17 <\/b>\u00a0It\u2019s games like this one which prevent most experts from putting Peyton Manning on the same pedestal as Tom Brady.\u00a0 The Saints played in and won their first ever Super Bowl, with Tracy Porter\u2019s pick-six clinching the win.\u00a0 Drew Brees outshined Manning the entire game, and the scene of him holding his baby during the celebration was the most indelible moment of this Super Bowl.\u00a0 Predictably, Bourbon Street went nuts in celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

#15 \u2013 Super Bowl LVII\u00a0 Kansas City 38, Philadelphia 35<\/b>\u00a0 Just last year, Patrick Mahomes again showed the league that he reigns supreme.\u00a0 On a slippery field in Arizona, both teams put on an offensive show.\u00a0 The Eagles\u2019 35 points were the most by a losing team.\u00a0 This was one of those games where \u201cwhoever had the ball last wins\u201d.\u00a0 Harrison Butker\u2019s 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left decided the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

#14 \u2013 Super Bowl XLVI\u00a0 NY Giants 21, New England 17<\/b>\u00a0 Another close loss to an inferior team on paper for the Patriots.\u00a0 Dedicating the season to the memory of Myra Kraft, the Patriots once again ran up against a buzzsaw defense from the Giants who played a better game.\u00a0 Eli Manning hit a sick completion to Mario Manningham to ignite the game-winning fourth quarter drive.\u00a0 The exciting game came down to a Hail Mary, which the Giants were able to knock down and seal the win.\u00a0 Wes Welker committed one of the costliest pass drops in Super Bowl history just prior to the winning Giant drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

#13 \u2013 Super Bowl LVI\u00a0 LA Rams 23, Cincinnati 20<\/b>\u00a0 Matthew Stafford gets traded from Detroit to the Rams, and in his first season is a world champ.\u00a0 Joe Burrow played in his first ever Super Bowl with the Bengals and the game was a taut and tough battle.\u00a0 Aaron Donald sealed the win by disrupting Burrow on a fourth down pass, and the Rams ran out the clock.\u00a0 Cincinnati has lost three very tough Super Bowls without winning one, each game a fun game to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

#12 \u2013 Super Bowl X\u00a0 Pittsburgh 21, Dallas 17<\/b>\u00a0 Of the first 20 Super Bowls, Dallas and Pittsburgh authored the two finest games.\u00a0 This game featured the best two defenses in the league at the time.\u00a0 In the end, Pittsburgh made just a few more plays than Dallas, including Lynn Swann making the most spectacular catch in Super Bowl history (shut up, Giants fans).\u00a0 Very competitive and exciting game.<\/span><\/p>\n

#11 \u2013 Super Bowl III\u00a0 NY Jets 16, Baltimore Colts 6<\/b>\u00a0 History again reigns supreme here.\u00a0 Very simply, the most important game in NFL history.\u00a0 An AFL team beat a 19-point favorite NFL team, and beat them easily, to win the first Super Bowl for an AFL team and to establish the Super Bowl as the game it would eventually turn into.\u00a0 The game was mostly sloppy, with Earl Morrall playing the worst game of his career and several missed field goals by both teams.\u00a0 The Colts never got over this loss, even when they won two years later.\u00a0 Joe Namath correctly predicted they would win, and did not throw a fourth quarter pass because he didn\u2019t need to.<\/span><\/p>\n

#10 \u2013 Super Bowl XIII\u00a0 Pittsburgh 35, Dallas 31<\/b>\u00a0 This was the other matchup between these two powerhouses of the 1970s, and this one was a classic.\u00a0 It\u2019s too bad that many people remember this game for Jackie Smith\u2019s dropped touchdown pass from Roger Staubach.\u00a0 Staubach and Terry Bradshaw put on a quarterback duel for the ages.\u00a0 A furious Dallas comeback in the fourth quarter fell short, as Pittsburgh won for the third time in the decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

#9 \u2013 Super Bowl XLII\u00a0 NY Giants 17, New England 14<\/b>\u00a0 That the Patriots were able to continue their dynasty over 20 years is remarkable after the most devastating loss in franchise history.\u00a0 With an 18-0 record going into the game, the Patriots were bludgeoned by a defensive front seven that reduced the Patriot offensive line to turnstyles.\u00a0 A sick catch by David Tyree, the most important play in Super Bowl history (again, shut up, Giants fans) led to the winning touchdown in the final minute.\u00a0 The perfect Patriot season was simply not to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

#8 \u2013 Super Bowl XXV\u00a0 NY GIants 20, Buffalo 19<\/b>\u00a0 Wide right.\u00a0 That\u2019s all you need to tell a Bills fan.\u00a0 Giants defensive coordinator Bill Belichick devised such a genius game plan to shut down the Buffalo offense that it is in the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.\u00a0 Backup quarterback Jeff Hostetler kept the game close, and the game came down to Scott Norwood trying a 47-yard field goal to win it.\u00a0 Credit Buffalo fans for embracing the kicker following the titanic missed field goal.\u00a0 Buffalo would appear in the next three Super Bowls, losing all of them.\u00a0 This is the one they really could have won, but it just didn\u2019t happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

#7 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXVIII\u00a0 New England 32, Carolina 29<\/b>\u00a0 A weird game became one for the ages in the fourth quarter.\u00a0 Both the first and third quarters of this game were scoreless.\u00a0 But the second and fourth quarters featured maybe the most compelling quarterback duel in Super Bowl history between Tom Brady and Jake Delhomme.\u00a0 The fourth quarter had five touchdowns and a field goal.\u00a0 Brady had the last laugh, as Adam Vinatieri kicked a 41-yard field goal with eight seconds left to seal the win.<\/span><\/p>\n

#6 \u2013 Super Bowl XLIII\u00a0 Pittsburgh 27, Arizona 23<\/b>\u00a0 The Cardinals were playing in their first ever Super Bowl and their first NFL title game since 1948.\u00a0 A franchise known mostly for losing, the Cardinals stood toe to toe with the Steelers and almost won the game.\u00a0 Larry Fitzgerald, on his only real day in the sun, showed the nation how brilliant he is with seven catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns.\u00a0 But Santonio Holmes made a brilliant catch for a touchdown with 35 seconds left to break the hearts of all Cardinal players and fans.\u00a0 The Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl, tied for the most in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 \u2013 Super Bowl XXIII\u00a0 San Francisco 20, Cincinnati 16<\/b>\u00a0 If Super Bowl XVI put Joe Montana on the map, this one secured his place in Canton.\u00a0 Montana won his third Super Bowl with one of the greatest late game drives in NFL history.\u00a0 He hit John Taylor with a 10-yard scoring strike with 34 seconds left.\u00a0 Cincinnati overcame major obstacles in this game; the scratch of running back Stanley Wilson and the horrific injury to Tim Krumrie, to almost win this game.\u00a0 This game was the last for 49ers head coach Bill Walsh, who is credited with the invention of the West Coast offense.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXIV\u00a0 St. Louis Rams 23, Tennessee 16<\/b>\u00a0 One yard short.\u00a0 That\u2019s what you avoid saying to Titans fans.\u00a0 A scintillating game between the Rams and the Titans came down to a total of 36 inches.\u00a0 The Rams\u2019 \u201cgreatest show on turf\u201d was fun to watch, but the stubborn Titans and quarterback Steve McNair held close all game long.\u00a0 On the game\u2019s final play, McNair hit Kevin Dyson on a slant in pass from the right side.\u00a0 Linebacker Mike Jones stopped him just short of the goal line.\u00a0 Dyson needed ten yards and got nine.\u00a0 Time expired.\u00a0 The Rams won as head coach Dick Vermeil wept.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 \u2013 Super Bowl XXXVI\u00a0 New England 20, St. Louis Rams 17<\/b>\u00a0 This game was so great, even the halftime show with U2 was the best one ever.\u00a0 The game was a salute to the victims of September 11, and it turned into the third biggest upset in Super Bowl history.\u00a0 The Patriots finally broke through and won a Super Bowl on their third try, as Tom Brady put himself on the NFL map with a great last minute drive.\u00a0 The Patriot defense pummeled the Rams\u2019 offense senseless until midway through the fourth quarter.\u00a0 Adam Vinatieri won the game with a walkoff 48-yard field goal, the first walkoff win in Super Bowl history.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 \u2013 Super Bowl XLIX\u00a0 New England 28, Seattle 24<\/b>\u00a0 To this day, former Patriot head coach Pete Carroll will never live that call down.\u00a0 Not running Marshawn Lynch at the goal line in the final seconds of the game was stupefying.\u00a0 Scott Zolak called it \u201cthe dumbest play call I\u2019ve ever seen!\u201d\u00a0 NBC\u2019s Cris Collinsworth was beside himself:\u00a0 \u201cIf I lose the Super Bowl because Marshawn Lynch cannot score from the one yard line, so be it!\u00a0 So be it!\u201d\u00a0 Malcolm Butler\u2019s interception on the fateful play put him on the NFL map, if only briefly.\u00a0 \u201cMalcolm, go!\u201d\u00a0 are the two most famous words in Patriot history.<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 \u2013 Super Bowl LI\u00a0 New England 34, Atlanta 28 (OT) <\/b>\u00a0Down 28-3 in the third quarter, the Patriots authored the greatest comeback in NFL history.\u00a0 Tom Brady methodically carved up the tired Falcon defense, Julian Edelman contributed with an unbelievable catch, and the Patriots scored two two-point conversions in the fourth quarter to tie the game.\u00a0 In the first overtime game in Super Bowl history, James White scored on a two-yard touchdown run to end the game.\u00a0 Brady and Bill Belichick won their fifth Super Bowls, and Brady his fourth MVP.\u00a0 With all the history and pulse-pounding excitement, this game was the best.<\/span><\/p>\n
