Notable Super Bowl Games

  • Super Bowl III: Speaking to the press in the week before the game, New York Jets quarterback "Broadway" Joe Namath famously guarantees a victory over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts. The Jets defense backs him up as they upset the Colts, 16-7.

  • Super Bowl VII: Coach Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins complete the only undefeated season in NFL history, defeating the Washington Redskins 14-7.

  • Super Bowl XIII: The Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Dallas Cowboys 35-31 in the second Super Bowl matchup of these 1970's powerhouses.

  • Super Bowl XXIII: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana leads a 92 yard fourth quarter drive, as the 49ers score the game-winning touchdown with 34 seconds left and defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-16.

  • Super Bowl XXIV: The San Francisco 49ers defeat the Denver Broncos 55-10, the largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history. The 55 points are the most scored by any team in a Super Bowl.

  • Super Bowl XXV: As time expires, the Buffalo Bills' Scott Norwood attempts a 47-yard field goal but misses wide to the right, and the New York Giants win 20-19. A tightly contested game with no turnovers by either team, it remains the only game to be decided by a single point.

  • Super Bowl XXX: The Dallas Cowboys make a record 8th Super Bowl appearance, winning 27-17 over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and become the first NFL team to win 3 Super Bowls in a 4 year span. The victory also tied the Cowboys with the San Francisco 49ers for the most Super Bowl victories (5). The Cowboys' Charles Haley became the first player to win 5 Super Bowls, after winning two with San Francisco (XXIII and XXIV) and two with Dallas (XXVII and XXVIII).

  • Super Bowl XXXII: After four painful losses, the Denver Broncos finally win a title, upsetting the heavily favored, defending champion Green Bay Packers 31-24 and becoming the first AFC Super Bowl champion in 14 years.

  • Super Bowl XXXIV: In an incredibly close finish, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson catches a short pass but is stopped at the 1 yard line as he stretches for the end zone with no time left on the clock, and the St. Louis Rams hold on to win 23-16.

  • Super Bowl XXXVI: Placekicker Adam Vinatieri kicks a 48-yard field goal as time expires to lift the New England Patriots to a 20-17 upset over the Rams, and the first of 3 Super Bowl wins in four years. Two years later, Vinatieri would kick another game-winning field goal at the end of Super Bowl XXXVIII.
