I’m a Seahawks fan and when I saw the “INTERCEPTION AT THE GOAL LINE BY MALCOLM BUTLER” I literally fell out of my chair in disbelief. That moment hurts to watch to this day.
Anytime I see the clip, I still have a tiny part of me thinking - there’s no way they don’t run it here. I know they didn’t run it there. They’ll never run it there. But, the next time I see the clip, that tiny part of me will be thinking “there is NO way they don’t run it here.”
As a Pats fan since 98 (I grew up in Canada and so will totally admit I was a uncommitted fan for several years), the 2007 SB highlights still hurt to watch. Some years I think there's holding by the O-Liine on the helmet catch, but upon watching it this time it didn't seem like holding - just incredible luck that the rushers didn't get Eli. I went through a breakup that fall and followed the Patriots daily that whole run. When they lost I couldn't play Madden or look at football until the following game the next year against the Chiefs... In some ways Pollard saved that team from crushing expectations, but he may have also stole another incredible run; that team took Cassel to 11-5. Some games will just always sting.
You will NEVER convince that the pass play wasn't called by the sponsors. There is NO way they wanted Beast Mode to win MVP. He was Money in the Bank to score from a couple of yards out. Damn near unstoppable in short yardage situations in this Super Bowl. One more TD and he WOULD have been MVP. He would have purposely flubbed "I'm going to Disney World" or just run off the field. This guy couldn't stand talking to the press or advertisers.
@@annapolismike that’s actually not true. That season, Marshawn was only 1-5 from running it in on the goalline and there hadn’t been an int on the goalline that season either. Pats had a rookie in who didn’t play much so Seahawks probably underestimated his ability to read the play.
As a Broncos fan love that they got 3 Lombardi's but when it comes to Super Bowls and getting blown out in them, no one goes down in flames quite like them.
Bronco fan here and man, you couldn't have said it better. We have been in some of the worst SB's. Glad to have the 3 we have but it was painful getting them.
As the seahawks fan, this list is excruciating. On the one hand, we absolutely dominated in the "worst" Super Bowl, and on the other hand, our dreams were crushed in the best Super Bowl ever. Here's to many more!
Which SB did Seattle dominate? The one where their kicker blew 2 field goals? The one where they gave up the longest rushing TD in SB history? The one where they were burned on a trick play that everyone saw coming?
Sure but... Russell Wilson proved this season what we all knew: he wanted the glory in XLIX over Beastmode. This past season was karma coming full circle, 8 years in the making for Russ.
“Caramel Cream” I don’t think having Super Bowl 49 as the best Super Bowl ever is recency bias if you actually watched that game from start to finish then you know that was one of the greatest games ever played.
@@WhatAG23 Why? Too boring? ‘Cause if you think LIII was boring, go watch LV. Worst I’ve watched. So glad I had a free subscription for that. Never even going to view the highlights of it; pretend like it never happened.
Fun fact, in the Pats Panthers super bowl they show Vrabel (yes, current Titans coach Vrabel) catching a touchdown. They would occasionally use him as a TE, and he had 10 receptions, ALL of them were touchdowns. A 100% TD conversion ratio. Every time he caught the ball they got points. Savage.
when the entirety of a guy's receiving experience is a handful of catches that all took place on dumb gimmick plays in the red zone then player's can end up with over exaggerated TD ratios Ike that. Has way more to do with luck than skill.
I remember that back in the day. You would have thought defenses would have keyed on him after 3-4 of those connecting at 100% TD rate. Like, "yo, Vrabel's in the game. They're gonna try to throw to him."
@@haroldfarquad6886 You'd rather be beaten on a gimmick play than overplaying for a potential gimmick and allowing yourself to be beaten in a more traditional manner.
The Eagles Patriots game wasn’t just the most combined yards in Super Bowl History. It is the most combined yards in any game, regular, playoff, or Super Bowl, in the 101 year history of the NFL. That’s over 16,000 games, not just 55.
My personal favorite being an eagles fan. I’ll never forget being in the living room with my 65 year old dad, who was born and raised in Philly and watched the eagles lose twice, jump up like crazy when Brady got strip sacked at the end. And who could forget the Philly special. So many started injure too. Just what an incredible back and forth game
As a lifelong Patriots fan, one of the best games ever played. You want to beat Brady, that's what has to happen. His defense has to fail and the other offense needs to WORK. Peterson, Foles, and those Eagles were incredible. I wish the Eagles had beaten anyone but my team for their first Super Bowl, truly. They deserved it as both a team that year and a franchise overall, and I'm so happy they have a title to their name. it doesn't hurt that the Pats had more than enough wins to make up for it
Superbowl 38 between the Pats and Panthers is sneaky underrated. Even the defensive slugfest in the first half was compelling, and that fourth quarter was absolutely bonkers
Both offenses were trading blows, which made it an exciting game. It was the last SB that I watched, start to finish. I lost interest in the NFL with the rule changes that favored the offense.
I remember joking with my friend after that game -- we just watched one of the best superbowls ever, and all anyone can talk about it Janet Jackson and the halftime show
Superbowl 43 was an absolute classic. People forget that the Cardinals were deemed the worst playoff team in NFL history that year but Kurt Warner managed to lead them close to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately came up short, but it was the most memorable Superbowl for me personally.
they had the 4th ranked offense in the league. Yeah they were 9-7 but that’s because their defense was mediocre. Nobody considered them that bad as the NFC as a whole was crap.
@@alwillk That was the year they had Plaxico Burress. I kept telling someone how unstoppable this guy was and I was getting laughed at. Don't know why. I just thought that dude was so difficult to stop. I don't think he lived up to his potential.
That's the game the Cardinals got Robbed. Santonio Holmes only had 1 foot down in the end zone. His other foot landed on top of the plant foot and never touched the Turf. No TD, but this was Bettis last game so they had to give him a great send off.
SB 50 is the game I'll always remember but for a different reason. Everyone in NC was so sure the Panthers were going to win. The local TV station in Raleigh placed reporters in so many bars all over the state to witness the celebrations and they never happened. There was so much air time to fill and nothing but misery to report. It was perfect.
NEVER and I mean NEVER bet on a team with a black quarterback to win the Super Bowl. It’s only happened a couple times in 55 years. People who think Dak or Lamar Jackson will win a title are insane.
It is still incredible to me that you don’t simply give Marshawn Lynch the ball 4 times in a row to get 3 yards into the end zone. In sports, it has got to be the absolute epitome of “outsmarting yourself.” Just unreal.
@@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf yeah, you're right. I just looked it up:1st & Goal at NE 5 (1:06 - 4th) M.Lynch left tackle to NE 1 for 4 yards (D.Hightower). 2nd down, on the 1 yard line with 1:06 remaining. So run two more times?? Of course, no telling what would've/could've happened. Fumbled exchange? Stopped twice, out of time? Who knows. Good point on your comment, though. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@michaelhylton1979 Well at that time Lynch was one of the best RB's in the league and during that game was carving through the Patriots defense. It was definitely a risk to take.
Hindsight is 20-20. They had time for one pass attempt and two runs, so basically with their plan they get a free extra pass attempt over just running two times. See if someone gets open or if there is open run space for Wilson. If not, throw it away and you still got your two run plays. What could go wrong, your superstar QB is obviously not going to attempt a way to risky pass in that situation.
It gets ignored in modern retellings but super bowl 32 was a MASSIVE upset. The AFC had not won this game in 13 straight years and the Packers were favored by 11.5-14 points. It was miraculous for the day and it gets treated different in retrospect because Denver went back to back.
I still have the DVD that was released shortly after & it is called "The Greatest Game Ever". Produced in the old NFL Films style, it sure feels like it when you watch it that way.
AFC had lost the last 13 games too and the packers were the champs & Elway had lost 3 superbowls before. So yeah at the time it was a massive upset but in actuality only because of those circumstances. In truth Denver was just as good as Green bay & the next year they dominated the league proven that.
People forget they were also the 5 seed, it just feels weird cause normally Cinderella teams like that aren’t good again but Denver was 1st in the AFC and blew out the Falcons in the super bowl the very next year
@@Tysaac by record they were truly the #2 seed though but kc had better record and won division and Broncos actually were 4 seed. Only 3 divisions then & only 1 team had won as a wildcard team then
@@antoniosurl What are you saying? Warner threw for over 300 in all 3 super bowls throwing for 414 and 2 TD's and being named MVP in one of them. But......Brady did.....whatev. Guess Joe Montana ain't shit then. Yeah, he won 4 Super Bowls.......BUT BRADY!!!!!!!......Gee, give it a rest. Of course, Brady was great and in the most super bowls - doesn't mean other players weren't great as well. At his best, Warner was as good as Brady. Warner's best didn't last 22 years but then......most don't. Five great years can get you in the NFL Hall of Fame, because it's understood that injuries happen and some great players don't get to stand behind terrific offensive lines all the time and never take a hit.
@@davidking4838 Damn son, chill out. I wasn’t detracting from what others have done. The guy just said that Warner’s postseason numbers were unparalleled so I was pointing out someone that not only matched Warner’s stats, but far surpassed them.
The Malcolm Butler interception showed Belichek at his best. They'd seen that Pete Carroll had called that pass play rather than running Lynch in that situation before and the defense had been specifically prepped for it.
The only person on the planet _not_ screaming for a timeout on that final series was Belicheck. He saw that Seattle was disorganized and running out of time, and let the clock run - that's what prevented Lynch from just running and running and running, and forced Carroll to call a pass play. (Guaranteeing a TD or a stopped clock . . . what could go wrong?)
It's so pathetic. The redskins won 3 super bowls, and yet you have the nfl trying so hard to rewrite history lmao. Every team is called by their name(Dolphins,Patriots, Steelers), only the Redskins are called Washington lmao. You ever heard about the Streissand effect @NFL @NFL Throwback ?
@@nixzorrr Oh, shut the hell up. The Commanders retain all of the history that they had; all that's changed is the name. There wasn't remotely as much outrage over the Oilers becoming the Titans.
I was gonna disagree with 49 as the best but I know a man who died as a result of the shock of the last play where Malcolm Butler intercepted the ball. The shock of that play probably is the most shocking play in NFL history. Not my favorite but I'm not gonna argue too much
I would say 38 was closer and for me was more enjoyable to watch. Maybe if the Falcons didn’t have a meltdown and actually won, I would like 51 better. They were in field goal range and could have kneeled it, either burning roughly a minute and a half off the clock or causing the Patriots to use timeouts. But no, they passed twice and wound up getting sacked and a holding penalty. If they ran the ball of kneeled it, they get the field goal and win.
I thought Super Bowl 50 was very entertaining for anyone who enjoys great defensive play. And, remember, it was a one-score game up until Newton's decision not to jump on the ball led to a short field for the Broncos and a game-clinching TD.
I had a blast watching that game, and I don't even have any stake in the teams. I thought Denver had one of the best defensive performances in a Super Bowl ever.
@@scruffd0g193 nah it's really because he injured his foot. Once he lost his mobility he was done. He always struggled with accuracy and then didnt even have the arm strength because of his shoulder injury so he basically had nothing going for him after his foot got messed up.
I'm an Eagles fan, and I waited 30years to see them win. That game was worth every second of waiting. High scoring back and forth. Plus, Nick Foles, the goofy lovable backup who had a run like I've never seen. Couldn't have been a more fun game.
@Marcos Loya cowboys have gone 27 years without making the NFC Championship game. Keep bragging about rings from the 30 years ago on VHS. Eagles were in their 2nd Super Bowl in 5 years. Cowboys are a joke
Super Bowl 42 will always be the one I remember the most, for the game itself, but also for the circumstances surrounding it for me at that time. My dad and I were in Bucharest, Romania. It was after 1 in the morning over there when the game got underway, and, neither of us being able to speak/understand a single damn word of Romanian, we had to watch the game without having a clue what the hell the announcers were saying. I'm blind, so my dad was my play-by-play guy. That game had us on the edges of our seats, hearts racing, quite a few times. Neither one of us wanted the Patriots to win it, so needless to say, when things were going good for the Giants, there were quite a few shouts of excitement (and calls of despair when things went the Patriots' way) coming from our apartment; interestingly enough, despite the late hour, none of the neighbors ever raised any complaints or anything. I think the game ended at 4:30AM Romanian time, give or take. When it was all over, we were jumping up and down, hooping and hollering, but nobody bothered us that night. With the possible exception of military personnel, I don't imagine there are very many people who can say they got to watch a Super Bowl in a foreign country, in a foreign language, in the middle of the freakin' night lol.
It’s wild that Super Bowl 52 with the Eagles and Patriots has the most yards gained for any game in NFL history. Not just for Super Bowls. Not just for any playoff games. Any game period. And speaking from an Eagles fan’s perspective, I nearly had about 5 heart attacks during it. But I was so happy with the result.
There must be something extra special about not only beating Brady and getting some payback for SB39, but also doing so at the absolute height of his power. 505 yards is insane.
that super bowl was incredible, shocked it wasn’t higher on the list. not that the ones ahead of it weren’t great, that one was just particularly fun to watch
48 wasn't worse than 35. None of the successive games were either. 35 was unbearable. That game was over before it began. The four best teams were all in the AFC in 2000...and Baltimore beat the other three.
@@dvferyance especially after the Giants blew up the Vikings 41-0 in the championship game. As a Ravens fan I was terrified. There turned out to be nothing to fear that day. That just made me imagine what If it was the Purple Bowl One of the greatest offenses of all time vs one of the greatest defenses.
Ravens, Titans, Jaguars, Raiders... Yup! No matter who was coming out of the NFC, they were gonna annihilated in a slow painful way by either one of those four.
Love the list but 42 has to be #1 in my opinion. Greatest upset in football history, greatest catch in Super Bowl history. I remember going to school the next morning and that game was the only thing anyone was talking about
Greatest upset!? I am an bandwagon Chiefs fan, going all the way back to their 35-10 loss to the Packers in the first SB. Their consecutive appearance in SB LV was bound to be disappointing because only one player on their O-line, center Austin Reiter, was playing the same position he did in Week 1. Left tackle Eric Fisher, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz and left guard Kelechi Osemele had season-ending injuries before the postseason. It was the brilliance of Mahomes, illustrated by his 127.6 passer rating in the AFC Championship vs. the Bills, that gained KC a return to "The Big Game." When the Bucs went ahead 21-6 at the half, I turned the game off. It was a near-certainty the Chiefs would need help from the Bucs to win, but Brady did his Brady thing and Chiefs LT Mike Remmers was not up to replacing Fisher against a defense that turned KC into road kill. No upset in the mind of anyone who understand football is won "in the trenches," and the Bucs were better on both sides of the ball that night. If Brady has actually retired, Mahomes will exact no revenge on everbody's (except me) GOAT. That sucks! BTW, the greatest upset was the Jets humiliation of the Colts in SB III. I could have gone to the game, but as an AFL fan, didn't want to see the league lose a 3rd-straight SB. The Colts were favored by 18 points, a playoff spread never exceeded until the 49ers beat the 19 points they were favored over the Chargers in SB XXIX, 49-26.
@@jefferyroy2566Yes, that was the greatest upset in NFL History. No other team has made it to the Super Bowl undefeated. And the Giants had to win on the road to get to the Super Bowl. I’m a huge Moss and Brady fan, but I can’t deny that Eli Manning and the Giants won that game fair and square.
@@SoldierforGod Just as Dalton said in Road House, "Opinions vary." I guess understanding the actual magnitude of an event requires some firsthand experience. Assuming you were not around, how could you appreciate how earth-shattering the Jets win was in 1969? I routed against the Pats in SB XLII/42 because I was a Dolphins fan during their undefeated 1972 season. While I believe Mercury Morris is an asshole for bringing it up too many times, it remains as the only undefeated season in NFL history. The way the Giants defense contained the highest-scoring offense in league history was epic, and the Manning pass to Tyree is maybe the most unlikely and exciting single play I've seen in my 58 seasons of pro football experiences. Maybe we can agree on that...
Special kudos to Kurt Warner - undrafted, stacking grocery store shelfs and then gets to 3 of the top 10 Superbowls. Played well in all of them, really well against the Titans and Steelers.
Super bowl 42 will always be remembered for the helmet catch, but if you go back and look at that last drive by the Giants, it is 1 of 6 plays in a row where the Patriots could have won the game. 1. RB Brandon Jacobs is almost stopped on a 4th and 1 conversion 2. Adalius Thomas (two sacks and a forced fumble in the game) almost strip tackles Eli, barley hung on and the ball did come out just after his knee was down 3. Asante Samuel almost gets the pick 4. David Tyree catch which really was a jump ball that Rodney Harrison could have come down with, and if Eli is sacked on that play it's atleast 4th and 15 5. Adalius Thomas sacks Eli on the run from behind and almost strips him again 6. DB Brandon Meriweather almost picks Eli(could be argued he had a better shot then the pick Asante almost had) Next two plays Eli sealed it with perfect 12 yard sideline pass to Steve Smith then the 13 yard lob to Plaxico for the TD. Classic game, definitely a top 3 SB
Man,I would've retired early too if I had the same college and professional football career Steve Smith had. Think about it,plays for powerhouse USC,win 2 NCAA championships. Rookie year in the NFL, makes some clutch catches in the playoffs and in the Super Bowl as well and win that Super Bowl. Yep it was that easy. Nothing else for him to do lol.
I'm glad you mentioned this! As a Pats fan, the helmet catch didn't bother me that much..it was all the WACKY plays that happened around it. The 4th and 1 play. Asante's dropped Int. The Pats just needed 1 big play on D and they had chance after chance...it just didn't happen. Le Sigh
Everybody focuses on the catch, and seem to ignore the passer on that play. Eli managed to shake off three sacks and spin out of a collapsed pocket before even getting the chance to throw the ball up for grabs. Tyree made a once in a lifetime catch, but he did the easiest thing on that play. Eli had to do the difficult parts of the play. It's still the best example of a QB avoiding a pass rush I've ever seen.
It was the second half kick off return that did it for me. I was in denial like “don’t worry, they’ve got Peyton manning and the best offense” lol not on that day
What still blows my mind about Malcolm Butler is that he had just made one of the most impactful plays in American sports history and he still had the game understanding to run back a few yards past the endzone so as to not give up a safety and potentially give Seattle the ball back.
You can't make that argument with no great defensive plays..... it was a fun offensive matchup but if you look at steelers cardinals in 43 that game had everything. Same with the #1 spot
I like how the Steelers and Patriots make up the entire top five greatest Superbowls of all time. No matter how much you hate them you can't deny the fact that they always create a thriller in the Superbowl. I mean there's a reason why they are the only two teams with 6 Superbowl wins.
As a Patriots fan pre 2004, it seemed unconscionable they could ever be mentioned in the same breath as the Steelers, Cowboys and 49ers. I will cherish the 2 decade long run forever.
@@rootsmanuva82 Yea, at least as it seems right now they can at least be an average team that isn't terrible, but isn't truly elite right now either. They thrash bad to below average teams while still can hold some contest against really good teams, so there is hope that they can be better in the coming years especially if Mac Jones can get rid of his late first year rookie struggles and gain more strength under his arm. And get a move the chains kind of WR/TE
As far as I'm concerned, Pittsburgh only has 5 wins. Against the Cards, their linebacker only scored that interception return touchdown because of a blatant block in the back of a Card that had a bead on Harrison. On that last touchdown, the Steeler receiver only got one toe down. That also was not really a touchdown. The Cards were blatantly robbed of their Super Bowl victory. And for the record, I am a Niner fan. Niner Nation Forever.
The AFC has been weak AF for 20 years. A bum of the month parade for the Pats to get into 8 superbowls. The AFC was a much more balanced conference when 4 or 5 teams had a decent shot every year in the decades before the 90's
As a Patriots fan, I will forever be haunted by the dropped interception and the helmet catch. I was at a superbowl party at a neighbor's here in Boston. There was one Giants fan in a house full of Pat's fans. It was the Patriots' perfect season. Boy, you could hear a pin drop at the end of the game and the party ended abruptly. Even the Giants fan kept.his mouth shut at the end of that game.
It's cool to see that of Pittsburgh's four SBs in the 1970s, two of them were sealed by big bombs from Terry Bradshaw, a 64-yarder to Swann in X and a 73-yard strike to Stallworth in XIV. Man, Bradshaw had a deep game.
Not a steelers fan (a cowboys fan ironically) but i find it funny he always gets called overrated and gets accused of riding coattails, it seems to me like he balled out in those super bowls, a very good QB imo
I’d never seen a team throw to a quarterback before the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, but now I see it all the time, in that exact formation too. God, each and every Super Bowl has at least one play that’s so iconic.
You should watch some of the 2008 Dolphins games. They lined up in wildcat formation for a good portion of the season and had QB Chad Pennington line up as a receiver. Since then, there have been a few select instances of wildcat plays, but no one runs it too often because in 2009, defenses learned to counter and adapt to consistent wildcat play.
Super Bowl 43 (Steelers Cardinals) is my favorite. It was the first SB I made a conscious choice to sit down and watch, and it didn’t disappoint. That game created an interest in football for me, and I haven’t missed a Super Bowl since.
Amen! Dumbest thing in Seahawks history, previously held by "we want the ball and we're gonna score". Just give the ball to Lynch. Was a good game until that nonsense.
As a Bears fan, we don't have much to talk about when it comes to Super Bowls... Only been to 2 of them, and we lost one of them AFTER the greatest Return Man in History took back the Opening Kickoff for the first time in SB History!... And we lost to one of the best QBs ever. But that 1985 team... The entire season was so special. If you weren't there to experience it, you really cannot understand. The entire country was in love with that team, with a few exceptions (Packers, Lions, Vikings, Bucs)... But when the Playoffs began, man it was unbelievable! Just utter domination unlike anything seen before. An amazing season that we Bears fans will never forget.
Not only that, besides 4 seconds left it essentially came down to the last play of the game win or loss. Should have defintely at least been #2. Additionally, following the trend of the other rankings in this video I dont understand SB42's spot in #2. Other than "muH uPsEt" the game was highly disappointing and hard to watch, especially when people were expecting another high scoring affair like their week 17 matchup.... which also adds to the overplaying of the "upset" itself since the 2 teams had just played a few weeks prior. 🤷♂️
@@RichieL1991 4th Quarter was fantastic. Much like the NBA that's all anyone remember or cares about. Plus it was great to see the Giant defense beat up the Pats offensive line. It was a dominant performance.
How is SB53 ranked that highly? The game was a dud and it was one of the least compelling SB matchups ever. Brady already had 5 rings and nothing more to prove, and the Rams were only there on one of the most flagrantly blown calls in NFL history. How could anyone outside of the fanbases involved go into that without wishing they were seeing Mahomes vs. Brees (or at the very least, Brady vs. Brees) instead? IMO it's bottom 5 all time, maybe even bottom 2 next to only Broncos-Seahawks.
Cause defensive battles still win championships more times than not. Case in point, Giants D-line versus Patriots in 07, Seahawks against the juggernaut offense of the Broncos in 13, or Broncos against the explosive offense of the Panthers in 15. Sure, low scoring games may be boring to a lot of people, but a lot of people still appreciate the effort it must go into especially in a time where high flying offenses dominate and defenses have taken the backseat.
Being a lifelong steelers fan and living in the Phoenix area, it was a tough one to watch with all the cardinals fans around me 😂. Agree best game ever
Funny story, so I live in Indiana and hate the Colts. 49er fan my entire life. So my mission was to be the antagonist at whichever party I went to. When Porter caught that, I jumped out of my chair, screaming. Everyone looked at me with disdain. I just kept smiling and saying Yesssss! I loved seeing the Colts lose...and still do.
The falcons losing to the Patriots was by far the most unexpected Super Bowl that nobody saw coming. The Seahawks vs Patriots was more back and forth with a questionable play call at the end, even though they had scored a bunch of touchdowns that season using that same pass play so it didn’t deserve the number one spot by a long shot.
One reason you could have seen the choke is because Matt Ryan and Cam Newton were not going to match Drew Brees. And seeing how the Saints took back the NFC South for four years straight and the rivalry that is still in Saints control even without Brees speaks to that. Payton/Brees Saints were the pinnacle of the NFC South and it won't be duplicated.
Super Bowl 52 is my greatest moment as a fan. The streets literally stopped. Every car every person literally stopped came outside of their cars, homes, and work places. To scream and yell we're the Champions!
As a Seahawks fan..48 was the best game I ever saw. I was perfectly OK with TOTAL domination.. We already had our nail biter heart attack down to the wire game 2 weeks prior against San Francisco..
I posted that the Seahawks-Steelers SB should've been ranked #55, since we mainly lost due to bad calls by the refs. If you'll recall, the head ref even apologized years later for the bad calls.
Super Bowl 49 is just my favorite Super Bowl of all time. 42 has the crazy underdog story and 51 has the insane comeback, but 49 was just a fun game to watch throughout. And it also has the best ending (unless you're a Seahawks fan).
I love that the Giants winning the Super Bowl is ranked the second greatest Super Bowl of all time. It’s tough to be a Giants fan sometimes but stuff like this always make me so proud to be a Giants fan. I was praying it would be #1 but I can see that Pats-Seahawks Super Bowl being #1.
Tbh, I think that putting it as 2nd was being nice to us, the feat and the last couple of minutes was amazing but it was a pretty low scoring game. As a Giants fan I’m not complaining though… 😂
I mean underestimating it fits their whole playoff performance. I knew come playoff time, they were about to do the impossible. And damn I was not disappointed. They weren't even top 2 team that year, but it was like destiny and you knew they'd win every game when it counted the most.
As a Pats fan, there are 3 things I'll never forget: that comeback against the Falcons in the 4th. Couldn't even go to the bathroom, I was so nervous what I was witnessing would suddenly stop. That almost miraculous interception when it was truly Seattle's game to lose. I could almost Richard Sherman's pain from my living roon.....And getting a perfect 16-0 record just to choke against the Giants. Bad enough to end a season like that without the championship, but to a Manning, too? (No shade to the Mannings who are incredible in their own right, but the rivalry was real). Salt in the wound.
Nah you didn't chock against they Giants your team just wasn't as good. Manning never had the receivers or running back Brady did if he had he would have had 7 rings.
@@vietnamvet4533 Which one? Both had HOF receivers and running backs. I think Brady had 3 HOF receivers at different times and 1 HOF RB maybe 2 but I cant find that info. Eli shouldnt even be in the discussion so i'll assume you mean Peyton. He has literally had more talent at WR than Brady. Man was playing with 2 1st ballot HOFers at the same time. The Broncos didnt lack any talent at the skilled positions neither and all three had great TEs. What Brady did have was a very defensive minded HC and better Ds many times but not every year. That really doesnt have anything to do with the offense though.
@@juangringo3906 Well lets try to do some logic, if The Brady Bunch were the greatest team of the last 30 years, and Tom was the best of the best at QB. And in the two biggest games of Eli's career he beat Tom and the Brady Bunch both times, where should the NY football Giants and Eli rank? Yea where oh where.
@@vietnamvet4533 Oh I love logic. The answer is exactly where most ppl put them as the best underdog "team" of the 2000s. Eli however has nearly the same stats as Romo except he has like 60 more INTs. The 2 SBs and his connections will surely get him in the HOF but lets not kid ourselves here he doesnt compare to Brady or Big Bro. That is logic 101 my friend.
Super Bowl 49 was the best because it featured the very best two teams to ever face-off. Russ, Beastmode and the Legion of Boom Seahawks vs the prime Brady/Belichick "Do Your Job" Patriots. It featured the perfect balance of offensive and defensive stars with very few defensive breakdowns or offensive turnovers. The cumulative OVR of both these teams is higher than any other matchup.
@@Brain_With_Limbs earl thomas dislocated shoulder, shermans gimped elbow and chancellors knee injury. not to mention jeremy lane literally breaking his arm in the first half of the super bowl. The legion of boom was like at half strength at best and it really showed in the 4th quarter
@@Brain_With_Limbs No, it wasn't. Sherman injured his elbow 2 weeks earlier in the NFCCG, Kam tore his MCL in practice the week of the game, and Lane tore his ACL/broke his wrist on an interception in the endzone in the 1st half. His replacement, Tharold Simon was the one who got torched by Edelman the rest of the game. Avril also went down with a concussion around the 3rd quarter, also a huge loss. Patriots won fair and square, but the original statement about the LoB being injured is correct.
Super Bowl 38 was such a blast to watch! Mega defense in quarters 1 and 3, mega offense in quarters 2 and 4. It had everything including a disaster of a kick-off at the end. I was really rooting for Carolina in that one. Delhomme was takin' it to them and takin' trash while doing it.
I personally feel that game is Brady’s most impressive victory (though I understand the consensus that it’s SB 51). Young QBs very rarely come out on top the second time they make the big game, and to do it with ice in his veins against a hellbent Panthers offense that was determined to steal the Patriots thunder. It’s also top 5 along with 52, 43, 32, and of course the GOAT 42.
My favorite will always be SB XXXIV. Two teams with equal legacies at stake, equally matched, with great quarterbacks battling for their place in history. No turnovers. No goat (old definition). No missed field goal. No epic blown lead or collapse. No blown coverage. No bad play call. No "That was amazing but I think there's still time on the clock" ending. No bad ref moment. Game came down to the essence of the sport: one man with the ball and another trying to stop him.
I honestly remember the vast majority of that game as boring and remember thinking as it ended that it was almost a shame that such a boring game would be elevated to a great one by one missed drive
@@mirish25m To each their own of course but I loved that game even in the early going. A slow-roll first half that picked up steadily starting in the third with the Holt TD. Then there was the great Titans comeback from 16-0 to 16-16. This was still when Washington overcoming 10 points in XXII was the biggest SB comeback ever. SBs XXXI and XXXII had 10-point comebacks (Pats were down 10-0 and went up 14-10; Packers were down 17-7 to Denver and tied the game). But 16 points was unheard of. And that was all before the final two drives.
@@ashotonehlobyjacksilverste4416 I understand all of that, I just don't see how it's this high up the list IMO. I'm not saying it should be bottom 10 but I just can't get on the top 10 bandwagon and above games like XXV where it was a battle
As a Niners fan, it took a lot of courage for me to sit through no. 17 and 16 like taking a left and right hook back to back, but, no. 9 picked me back up.
Yeah, the upside is I can say that I've seen my team in 7 different Super Bowls. But when you have 5 wins you kind of expect that level through all eternity.
SB 23 is my favorite because it made me fall in love with this sport. it was the first one i watched and even at 8 years old i knew i was watching something special.
SB-42 was by far the most intense I ever saw. And it was a bigger upset than SB-3. There was a lot of bias towards the NFL in '68 and that was a SB between 2 different leagues altogether. You could not truly gauge them with common opponents or previous matchups. And this was the first SB for the NFL side without the Packers so 18-points as a favorite for the Colts was too much. The '07 Patriots nobody questioned as the greatest single-season team ever. The Giants? Most thought they would put up a decent game like in their regular season match but succumb in the end. 30-20 or 28-17 sounded like a perfectly reasonable-sounding final outcome for a Pat's win. Didn't happen though did it? I think only the 1980 Olympic hockey win and Buster Douglass over Tyson surpass it in sports history.
@@19580822 Oh yes, and that fueled the Giants through that epic 3 road-game playoff run to get to the SB. The Partiots playoff games? Obviously just 2 because they had a bye, both at home, and both wins. But VERY flat an unimpressive wins over the Jags and the the Chargers. Just a 21-12 win over the Chargers minus Tomlinson and a hobbled Rivers should have been a warning that the Pats may not be firing on all cylinders. The Giants must have thought after that bitter cold and brutal win in GB that as long as they were in a neutral venue in good weather and we will beat ANYONE. Took just a few things to fall the right way, but a few is all you need.
The one that hurts most is the Hasselbeck Superbowl. He had just one shot but anyone who followed that team all year just kept seeing stunning win after win from a team that was anything but that the year prior. I made the majority of my football profits off this one team. They deserved a title just for being so great.
We got them back the next season I'm sure all atl fans were rooting for green. Eagles nest em with a backup QB. Run away Tom Brady, don't even shake foles hand

Everybody talks about the David Tyree catch, but forgets the catch by Julian Edelman vs Atlanta, as NE needed every play for that comeback, and I'm a Giants fan. Now what adds to the Tyree catch is the escape by Eli, which is crazy as well.
Super Bowl 52 was one of the greatest nights of my life! Local Sports talk radio was on nonstop for 2 weeks straight. The whole city was just in a better mood.
My best game (and my favorite probably cause it had my hometown team in it) was the 54-51 MNF game where the 2018 Rams (who lost in the SB sadly) and my team beat young Patrick Mahomes.
I gotta give to #5 on this list, Steelers/Cardinals, because not only did it come down to the end, but it had #1- the greatest defensive play in Super Bowl history (James Harrison's 100 yard Pick Six), #2- the greatest Super Bowl TD catch in history (Santonio Holmes), and #3- the greatest Super Bowl winning TD pass in history (Roethlisberger). That game was nuts.
Holmes wasn't a Catch. He only got one foot down. The other foot landed on top of the plant foot and never touched the Turf. No Catch. And I'm not biased, been a Bucs fan since 1976, but it wasn't a Catch.
Watching this I learned that the team I picked to win that year’s Super Bowl, lost more often than not. Also, still can’t fathom how Atlanta Falcons didn’t secure that win 25pt lead 2 mins left in 3rd quarter.
It was all Brady's works and MY determination for yelling at the TV that finally turned Brady around! I stood the entire second half of that superbowl, just outstanding luck, work and dedication by the pats to even pull it off
Atlanta was up by 11 with not much time left to go, they were in or near field goal range and they threw a pass play that got sacked for a huge loss. Dumb ass play calling. It's funny also that every single super bowl Brady won was close. The biggest margin of victory was 10 points in the 13-3 snoozer against LA. Watch here and tell me how can any team blow this: ruclips.net/video/016LXFHpFCk/видео.html
Calling super bowl 53 a “defensive slug fest” is generous at best. If you were tired of the evil empire and weren’t a fan of the dirty rams game, it was a snorefest. At least the blowouts had scoring
The Rams shouldn't have even been there. The only reason they were was because of the biggest no-call in NFL history. I still wonder to this day what a Brady vs. Brees Super Bowl would've been like.
I fully believe SB 51 was the greatest football game of all time, but the two higher on this list are deserving. The fact that 5 of the top 10 have Tom Brady and the Patriots is insane, especially being in all the top 3
I think 51 was the greatest I ever saw I been watching since 87 redskins and Broncos and 51 was the best thar great come bk yeah I like the one against the Seahawks and the giants one wasn’t not exciting it was but not like 51
That was the game that changed my opinion on Tom Brady. I mean, I always begrudgingly accepted that he was an amazing player and top tier QB, but I never acknowledged that he was the GOAT. 51 changed that. Can't deny it anymore. Tom Brady is the greatest QB in NFL history. I think I still liked watching Peyton more, though.
Can't believe Eagles thrilling win in SB 52 isn't Top 5. Miraculous win, total yardage record. Philly Special, one of guttsiest plays ever.. a true classic

Nah, Super Bowl 42 is definitely number 1. You cant tell me a 5th seed wild card team beating arguably the greatest team ever on the verge of perfection with that game winning drive isn't the best Super Bowl ever
@@guilhermestringheta2902 I picked the Giants to win that one. They had only lost by 3 in the regular season and the Patriots were wearing out their team running up the scores on bad teams. Nothing made me happier than them losing. This was definitely better than the game they chose as #1.
@@HercuLync but that’s the thing, you’re talking about the moment rather than the game itself. The game really is only remembered for the last 4 drives where as 49 was a back and forth game down to the final play
Exactly. I love Peyton Manning, but that game had one of those feelings similar to SB XLII where if you were rooting for the respective Manning brother which I was, you felt worried that they might not put up enough points to win and that the defense might make a mistake or just be unable to stop them again because the game is geared to benefit offenses so much that no defense can be asked to win every series. It's like asking an ace to never give up a single run. Sooner or later, something gets through.
Superbowl 38 is so underrated from the defensive stalemate in the first half which was really entertaining and than the 2nd half offensive explosion outta of no where, the vinateri early miss FG and one being block, the John Kasay missed kick outta bounds, Jake's bomb to Mushin Muhammad, it was just so many amazing moments, to deserves to be top ten
It's BS. It was dominance vs a historic offense. Despite being a blowout, it still had the wow factor of being so unexpectedly lopsided (kind of like Raiders/Washington and Bucs/Chiefs). Those are always more interesting than blowouts where an outmatched underdog gets pummeled as expected (Bears/Patriots, 49ers/Broncos, 49ers/Chargers)
Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta really started the trend of fantastic finishes almost to a daily basis. before then it was rare at best to get the championship decided at the very end...
42 is the best, then 34, and I'm a life long Rams fan, first game I remember was SB14. I lived in Socal and the Rams were winning that day. Then began 2 decades of suffering. We had Dickerson, Jim Everett and Henry Ellard. Then the misery of the 90s and embarrassing losses to the 49ers twice a year for 10 years. But, the Giants taking perfection away from those cocky patriots was priceless. Never hated Brady, just the Pats.
@@detectif1061 you can have your opinion, 18-1 is mine. And Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, etc. are not associated with cheating, The Rams did not lose draft picks for cheating and/or fined. And they were not caught a second time. The Rams were beat by the Pat's in 53, the Rams shouldn't have been in that game anyway. 36 the pats should not have been in that game to begin with (tuck rule), then cheated to win.
I loved super bowl 48 because it shows defense wins championships. The greatest statistical offense ever was stopped in its tracks by the legendary legion of boom. Real football fans can appreciate that.
I respect this saying but for me 48 was just a blowout where it was done and over with and Peyton choked another Super Bowl. The legion of Boom was great don’t get me right but put an asterisk next to legendary since Tom Brady dismantled this defense the very next year in the Super Bowl and his best pass catcher was a TE
It shows how valuable pass rush can be, although that db squad gets the most respect from that crew. But that pass rush was the most important, Peyton could barely get throws off, without his arm or something getting hit.
@@lynnhudson838 but Eli manning was the only brother to beat him in the superbowl he did it twice, then it was Nick Foles with the eagles the third time
As a lifelong seahawk fan. That play still hurts man :( - 2/23/22 Edit #1: I Forgot I've already watched this just to rewatch that pick again - 10/16/22 Edit #2: I really need to stop finding my way back to this video 12/26/23
I’ve gone to 2 Super Bowls in my life, I was born an raised in Arizona but grew up a Falcons fan (my dads fault 🤦🏼♂️) so when SB 49 rolled in to town my father and I thought what the heck let’s find a way to go since our team might never make it again in our lifetimes. So we lucked out and scored 2 lower level 10 yard line tickets and watched one of the most exciting finishes ever the Butler Interception was on our goal line it was insane. So two year later our Falcons finally overcome all odds and make it to the Super Bowl and well y’all know how that one goes. Since that day I’ve always said witnessing that is going to take some years off my life. At least I got to witness 2 of the top 3 Super Bowls I’m truly lucky.
The Steel Curtain is the best D ever period. Name me another Defence that were dominating more then a decade and won 4 rings. 85 Bears and 2000s Ravens are only 1 season wonders, especially the 85 Bears. Same with the Boom.
You're probably right but those Seahawks did make two superbowls and were the number scoring defense in the league for four straight years but the Steelers were definitely greater
If you're going to mention those other 1 year wonder Defenses you have to mention the SB 50 broncos seeing how they single handily won the SB and got them there in the first place .
As a bears fan, when Devin Hester got that touchdown to start the game I thought we were gonna dominate the colts I jumped out my seat and started yelling but Obviously when you have Rex Grossman as your qb. You can never celebrate to early.
@@michaelallmon9319 I'll put blame on Grossman where it is deserved. But I agree, I'll never understand why they decided to go to that defense after the first quarter. From memory, it seems like the Bears' defense was wreaking havoc on the Colts, then they change? What especially frustrated me about that game was that despite the Bears being outplayed in just about every department, they were still only losing by 5 until the pick 6 in the fourth quarter. If Chicago could have just done better in one department - one area of the game- the Bears might have won that one.
Except for not ready for prime-timers Stan Humphries, Steve Grogan, Vince Ferragamo, David Woodley, Mark Rypien, Neil O'Donnell, Joe Flacco and others who do not come to mind at the moment.
I’m sorry but your comment makes no sense whatsoever. Both Super Bowls have a “positive shock” for the winning fan bases and obviously “negative shock” for the losing ones. What are you talking about?
@@saintchosen1394 Because everyone remembers the end of 49 as "The dumbest playcall in history" no one remembers the comeback, Brady's 4th title, LOB getting hurt along the game and so on, but we all remember that infamous playcall when everyone was expecting BEASTMODE to run for a TD, hence the negative outcome. 42 is known as the greatest upset ever, and EVERYONE loves an upset history, hence the positive outcome. The guy was talking about the neutral fans, not the particularly fanbases involved, obviously.
The back and forth and craziness of the final 4 minutes of Super Bowl 43 make it the best of all time. It should NOT be as low as 5. 51 is absolutely not better than 43
There’s no way a game like Super Bowl 48 - that featured a kickoff return TD, a pick 6, and one of the best individual efforts ever on a catch and run TD (Jermaine Kearse) - could be worse than than a 16-6 snooze fest like the Steelers - Vikings.
This one is definitely recency bias. The most recent blowout and not even the largest one. 49ers Broncos was way more boring than this. But since the people making this were probably either children or not even alive when the game happened (I myself was 11 days old), they no doubt forgot how boring it was. Or they couldn't stand to put a game that featured Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, and John Elway at the bottom even if it's deserved, because they're legends and get a free pass.
That was monumental disrespect on Sweetness! He kept the Bears going with shitty teams for years until he got to the Big Show. And the Bears were the first cultural influencers that crapped on a HOFer for a click .
I’m sorry but I believe the second eagles vs pats game was more like a top 5, and I can’t agree on the pats vs Seahawks as the number 1 Super Bowl of all time
@@Christian-eq6pq That's what made the game more special! The Patriots were the highest scoring offense in NFL history at the time and got held to just 14 points!
I’m a Seahawks fan and when I saw the “INTERCEPTION AT THE GOAL LINE BY MALCOLM BUTLER” I literally fell out of my chair in disbelief. That moment hurts to watch to this day.
Anytime I see the clip, I still have a tiny part of me thinking - there’s no way they don’t run it here. I know they didn’t run it there. They’ll never run it there. But, the next time I see the clip, that tiny part of me will be thinking “there is NO way they don’t run it here.”
As a broncos fan ha karma is a bi
As a Pats fan since 98 (I grew up in Canada and so will totally admit I was a uncommitted fan for several years), the 2007 SB highlights still hurt to watch. Some years I think there's holding by the O-Liine on the helmet catch, but upon watching it this time it didn't seem like holding - just incredible luck that the rushers didn't get Eli. I went through a breakup that fall and followed the Patriots daily that whole run. When they lost I couldn't play Madden or look at football until the following game the next year against the Chiefs... In some ways Pollard saved that team from crushing expectations, but he may have also stole another incredible run; that team took Cassel to 11-5.
Some games will just always sting.
You will NEVER convince that the pass play wasn't called by the sponsors. There is NO way they wanted Beast Mode to win MVP. He was Money in the Bank to score from a couple of yards out. Damn near unstoppable in short yardage situations in this Super Bowl. One more TD and he WOULD have been MVP. He would have purposely flubbed "I'm going to Disney World" or just run off the field. This guy couldn't stand talking to the press or advertisers.
@@annapolismike that’s actually not true. That season, Marshawn was only 1-5 from running it in on the goalline and there hadn’t been an int on the goalline that season either. Pats had a rookie in who didn’t play much so Seahawks probably underestimated his ability to read the play.
As a Broncos fan love that they got 3 Lombardi's but when it comes to Super Bowls and getting blown out in them, no one goes down in flames quite like them.

Fun fact, in the Pats Panthers super bowl they show Vrabel (yes, current Titans coach Vrabel) catching a touchdown. They would occasionally use him as a TE, and he had 10 receptions, ALL of them were touchdowns. A 100% TD conversion ratio. Every time he caught the ball they got points. Savage.
Yeah, when every route you ever run ends up with you in the end zone, that's what your TD conversion ratio, by necessity, has to be.
when the entirety of a guy's receiving experience is a handful of catches that all took place on dumb gimmick plays in the red zone then player's can end up with over exaggerated TD ratios Ike that. Has way more to do with luck than skill.
Yes, you guys are right. That's why it's a "fun fact" and not an argument for the Hall.
I remember that back in the day. You would have thought defenses would have keyed on him after 3-4 of those connecting at 100% TD rate. Like, "yo, Vrabel's in the game. They're gonna try to throw to him."
@@haroldfarquad6886 You'd rather be beaten on a gimmick play than overplaying for a potential gimmick and allowing yourself to be beaten in a more traditional manner.

My personal favorite being an eagles fan. I’ll never forget being in the living room with my 65 year old dad, who was born and raised in Philly and watched the eagles lose twice, jump up like crazy when Brady got strip sacked at the end. And who could forget the Philly special. So many started injure too. Just what an incredible back and forth game
That super bowl is criminally underrated
As a lifelong Patriots fan, one of the best games ever played. You want to beat Brady, that's what has to happen. His defense has to fail and the other offense needs to WORK. Peterson, Foles, and those Eagles were incredible. I wish the Eagles had beaten anyone but my team for their first Super Bowl, truly. They deserved it as both a team that year and a franchise overall, and I'm so happy they have a title to their name. it doesn't hurt that the Pats had more than enough wins to make up for it
Yup......and the best damn game I ever saw.
Superbowl 38 between the Pats and Panthers is sneaky underrated. Even the defensive slugfest in the first half was compelling, and that fourth quarter was absolutely bonkers
Both offenses were trading blows, which made it an exciting game.
It was the last SB that I watched, start to finish.
I lost interest in the NFL with the rule changes that favored the offense.

Superbowl 43 was an absolute classic. People forget that the Cardinals were deemed the worst playoff team in NFL history that year but Kurt Warner managed to lead them close to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately came up short, but it was the most memorable Superbowl for me personally.
In his prime, Big Ben had that "Jordan" button. As a fan, I knew that somehow he was going to drive down the field and win.
Yeah. This list was pretty good. One thing about New England with Brady, whether they won or lost, they were perhaps the greatest games ever.
they had the 4th ranked offense in the league. Yeah they were 9-7 but that’s because their defense was mediocre. Nobody considered them that bad as the NFC as a whole was crap.
@@alwillk That was the year they had Plaxico Burress. I kept telling someone how unstoppable this guy was and I was getting laughed at. Don't know why. I just thought that dude was so difficult to stop. I don't think he lived up to his potential.
That's the game the Cardinals got Robbed. Santonio Holmes only had 1 foot down in the end zone. His other foot landed on top of the plant foot and never touched the Turf. No TD, but this was Bettis last game so they had to give him a great send off.
SB 50 is the game I'll always remember but for a different reason. Everyone in NC was so sure the Panthers were going to win. The local TV station in Raleigh placed reporters in so many bars all over the state to witness the celebrations and they never happened. There was so much air time to fill and nothing but misery to report. It was perfect.
Cam Newton will never live down his lack of effort to recover his own fumble.
panthers were huge favorites, they were stomping everyone and the broncos barely had an offense, big time upset

It is still incredible to me that you don’t simply give Marshawn Lynch the ball 4 times in a row to get 3 yards into the end zone. In sports, it has got to be the absolute epitome of “outsmarting yourself.” Just unreal.
it probably would have been one run at the most because of the time
They only had 1 timeout so they could not have done that
@@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf yeah, you're right. I just looked it up:1st & Goal at NE 5 (1:06 - 4th) M.Lynch left tackle to NE 1 for 4 yards (D.Hightower). 2nd down, on the 1 yard line with 1:06 remaining. So run two more times?? Of course, no telling what would've/could've happened. Fumbled exchange? Stopped twice, out of time? Who knows. Good point on your comment, though. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@michaelhylton1979 Well at that time Lynch was one of the best RB's in the league and during that game was carving through the Patriots defense. It was definitely a risk to take.
Hindsight is 20-20. They had time for one pass attempt and two runs, so basically with their plan they get a free extra pass attempt over just running two times. See if someone gets open or if there is open run space for Wilson. If not, throw it away and you still got your two run plays. What could go wrong, your superstar QB is obviously not going to attempt a way to risky pass in that situation.
It gets ignored in modern retellings but super bowl 32 was a MASSIVE upset. The AFC had not won this game in 13 straight years and the Packers were favored by 11.5-14 points. It was miraculous for the day and it gets treated different in retrospect because Denver went back to back.
I still have the DVD that was released shortly after & it is called "The Greatest Game Ever". Produced in the old NFL Films style, it sure feels like it when you watch it that way.
AFC had lost the last 13 games too and the packers were the champs & Elway had lost 3 superbowls before. So yeah at the time it was a massive upset but in actuality only because of those circumstances. In truth Denver was just as good as Green bay & the next year they dominated the league proven that.
True, I remember thinking I would happily lay the 14. Good thing I didn't bet on that one.
People forget they were also the 5 seed, it just feels weird cause normally Cinderella teams like that aren’t good again but Denver was 1st in the AFC and blew out the Falcons in the super bowl the very next year

The Malcolm Butler interception showed Belichek at his best. They'd seen that Pete Carroll had called that pass play rather than running Lynch in that situation before and the defense had been specifically prepped for it.

@@devintoledo right🤣

The only person on the planet _not_ screaming for a timeout on that final series was Belicheck. He saw that Seattle was disorganized and running out of time, and let the clock run - that's what prevented Lynch from just running and running and running, and forced Carroll to call a pass play. (Guaranteeing a TD or a stopped clock . . . what could go wrong?)

I was gonna disagree with 49 as the best but I know a man who died as a result of the shock of the last play where Malcolm Butler intercepted the ball. The shock of that play probably is the most shocking play in NFL history. Not my favorite but I'm not gonna argue too much
dammmmm
38 or 51 is truly the best
What’s better?
I would say 38 was closer and for me was more enjoyable to watch. Maybe if the Falcons didn’t have a meltdown and actually won, I would like 51 better. They were in field goal range and could have kneeled it, either burning roughly a minute and a half off the clock or causing the Patriots to use timeouts. But no, they passed twice and wound up getting sacked and a holding penalty. If they ran the ball of kneeled it, they get the field goal and win.

I thought Super Bowl 50 was very entertaining for anyone who enjoys great defensive play. And, remember, it was a one-score game up until Newton's decision not to jump on the ball led to a short field for the Broncos and a game-clinching TD.
Von Miller may have singlehandedly destroyed Newton's career. Cam was never the same afterwards.
@@johnchedsey1306 Uh No, Cam was good in 2017 and 2018, the TJ Watt hit in 2018 changed everything for him.

That game was the real # 1
Yes, Without doubt SBLII was the 💣! GoBirds!
I’m a Cowboys fan. I’m happy with the result. 😊 Philly is trash.

Super Bowl 42 will always be the one I remember the most, for the game itself, but also for the circumstances surrounding it for me at that time. My dad and I were in Bucharest, Romania. It was after 1 in the morning over there when the game got underway, and, neither of us being able to speak/understand a single damn word of Romanian, we had to watch the game without having a clue what the hell the announcers were saying. I'm blind, so my dad was my play-by-play guy. That game had us on the edges of our seats, hearts racing, quite a few times. Neither one of us wanted the Patriots to win it, so needless to say, when things were going good for the Giants, there were quite a few shouts of excitement (and calls of despair when things went the Patriots' way) coming from our apartment; interestingly enough, despite the late hour, none of the neighbors ever raised any complaints or anything. I think the game ended at 4:30AM Romanian time, give or take. When it was all over, we were jumping up and down, hooping and hollering, but nobody bothered us that night. With the possible exception of military personnel, I don't imagine there are very many people who can say they got to watch a Super Bowl in a foreign country, in a foreign language, in the middle of the freakin' night lol.
ha thats a cool story!
@@paulf1461 Thanks... it's one I'll always remember.
It’s wild that Super Bowl 52 with the Eagles and Patriots has the most yards gained for any game in NFL history. Not just for Super Bowls. Not just for any playoff games. Any game period. And speaking from an Eagles fan’s perspective, I nearly had about 5 heart attacks during it. But I was so happy with the result.
There must be something extra special about not only beating Brady and getting some payback for SB39, but also doing so at the absolute height of his power. 505 yards is insane.
that super bowl was incredible, shocked it wasn’t higher on the list. not that the ones ahead of it weren’t great, that one was just particularly fun to watch
That Philly Special Got The Job Done 👍
You were?

48 wasn't worse than 35. None of the successive games were either. 35 was unbearable. That game was over before it began. The four best teams were all in the AFC in 2000...and Baltimore beat the other three.
The irony before the game we all thought it would be a great super bowl. Without question the Broncos and Seahawks were the 2 best teams that year.
@@dvferyance especially after the Giants blew up the Vikings 41-0 in the championship game. As a Ravens fan I was terrified. There turned out to be nothing to fear that day.

Agreed that 35 was the worst. We got to watch an accessory to murder hoist the trophy.
@@JTS1128 The Giants were favored by like 5-7 points going in, IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE!
Love the list but 42 has to be #1 in my opinion. Greatest upset in football history, greatest catch in Super Bowl history. I remember going to school the next morning and that game was the only thing anyone was talking about
Greatest upset!? I am an bandwagon Chiefs fan, going all the way back to their 35-10 loss to the Packers in the first SB. Their consecutive appearance in SB LV was bound to be disappointing because only one player on their O-line, center Austin Reiter, was playing the same position he did in Week 1. Left tackle Eric Fisher, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz and left guard Kelechi Osemele had season-ending injuries before the postseason. It was the brilliance of Mahomes, illustrated by his 127.6 passer rating in the AFC Championship vs. the Bills, that gained KC a return to "The Big Game." When the Bucs went ahead 21-6 at the half, I turned the game off. It was a near-certainty the Chiefs would need help from the Bucs to win, but Brady did his Brady thing and Chiefs LT Mike Remmers was not up to replacing Fisher against a defense that turned KC into road kill. No upset in the mind of anyone who understand football is won "in the trenches," and the Bucs were better on both sides of the ball that night. If Brady has actually retired, Mahomes will exact no revenge on everbody's (except me) GOAT. That sucks!
BTW, the greatest upset was the Jets humiliation of the Colts in SB III. I could have gone to the game, but as an AFL fan, didn't want to see the league lose a 3rd-straight SB. The Colts were favored by 18 points, a playoff spread never exceeded until the 49ers beat the 19 points they were favored over the Chargers in SB XXIX, 49-26.
@@jefferyroy2566Yes, that was the greatest upset in NFL History. No other team has made it to the Super Bowl undefeated. And the Giants had to win on the road to get to the Super Bowl. I’m a huge Moss and Brady fan, but I can’t deny that Eli Manning and the Giants won that game fair and square.
@@SoldierforGod Just as Dalton said in Road House, "Opinions vary."
I guess understanding the actual magnitude of an event requires some firsthand experience. Assuming you were not around, how could you appreciate how earth-shattering the Jets win was in 1969? I routed against the Pats in SB XLII/42 because I was a Dolphins fan during their undefeated 1972 season. While I believe Mercury Morris is an asshole for bringing it up too many times, it remains as the only undefeated season in NFL history. The way the Giants defense contained the highest-scoring offense in league history was epic, and the Manning pass to Tyree is maybe the most unlikely and exciting single play I've seen in my 58 seasons of pro football experiences. Maybe we can agree on that...
Special kudos to Kurt Warner - undrafted, stacking grocery store shelfs and then gets to 3 of the top 10 Superbowls. Played well in all of them, really well against the Titans and Steelers.

@@joshuamcneal Do your homework. You're not even close.

Super bowl 42 will always be remembered for the helmet catch, but if you go back and look at that last drive by the Giants, it is 1 of 6 plays in a row where the Patriots could have won the game.
1. RB Brandon Jacobs is almost stopped on a 4th and 1 conversion
2. Adalius Thomas (two sacks and a forced fumble in the game) almost strip tackles Eli, barley hung on and the ball did come out just after his knee was down
3. Asante Samuel almost gets the pick
4. David Tyree catch which really was a jump ball that Rodney Harrison could have come down with, and if Eli is sacked on that play it's atleast 4th and 15
5. Adalius Thomas sacks Eli on the run from behind and almost strips him again
6. DB Brandon Meriweather almost picks Eli(could be argued he had a better shot then the pick Asante almost had)
Next two plays Eli sealed it with perfect 12 yard sideline pass to Steve Smith then the 13 yard lob to Plaxico for the TD.
Classic game, definitely a top 3 SB
Then after all that, Plaxico goes out to a nightclub and shoots himself in the thigh.......whatever happened to him?
Man,I would've retired early too if I had the same college and professional football career Steve Smith had. Think about it,plays for powerhouse USC,win 2 NCAA championships. Rookie year in the NFL, makes some clutch catches in the playoffs and in the Super Bowl as well and win that Super Bowl. Yep it was that easy. Nothing else for him to do lol.
I'm glad you mentioned this! As a Pats fan, the helmet catch didn't bother me that much..it was all the WACKY plays that happened around it. The 4th and 1 play. Asante's dropped Int. The Pats just needed 1 big play on D and they had chance after chance...it just didn't happen. Le Sigh
Everybody focuses on the catch, and seem to ignore the passer on that play. Eli managed to shake off three sacks and spin out of a collapsed pocket before even getting the chance to throw the ball up for grabs.
Tyree made a once in a lifetime catch, but he did the easiest thing on that play. Eli had to do the difficult parts of the play. It's still the best example of a QB avoiding a pass rush I've ever seen.

What still blows my mind about Malcolm Butler is that he had just made one of the most impactful plays in American sports history and he still had the game understanding to run back a few yards past the endzone so as to not give up a safety and potentially give Seattle the ball back.
The Pats had practiced that exact play because the Hawks had ran it during the regular season. Belichick's 4D chess.
What blows my mind is that Seattle didn't just hand off to one of the best running backs in NFL history.
@@davidking4838 They did once, Lynch made it 4 yards. Then Wilson tried to catch the run defense sleeping on 2nd down.

If Butler had gone down in the end zone, I think it may have been a touchback... I thought he should have downed it.

You can't make that argument with no great defensive plays..... it was a fun offensive matchup but if you look at steelers cardinals in 43 that game had everything. Same with the #1 spot
I like how the Steelers and Patriots make up the entire top five greatest Superbowls of all time. No matter how much you hate them you can't deny the fact that they always create a thriller in the Superbowl. I mean there's a reason why they are the only two teams with 6 Superbowl wins.

@@rootsmanuva82 Yea, at least as it seems right now they can at least be an average team that isn't terrible, but isn't truly elite right now either. They thrash bad to below average teams while still can hold some contest against really good teams, so there is hope that they can be better in the coming years especially if Mac Jones can get rid of his late first year rookie struggles and gain more strength under his arm. And get a move the chains kind of WR/TE
The NFL needs a Super League!!
As far as I'm concerned, Pittsburgh only has 5 wins. Against the Cards, their linebacker only scored that interception return touchdown because of a blatant block in the back of a Card that had a bead on Harrison. On that last touchdown, the Steeler receiver only got one toe down. That also was not really a touchdown. The Cards were blatantly robbed of their Super Bowl victory. And for the record, I am a Niner fan. Niner Nation Forever.
The AFC has been weak AF for 20 years. A bum of the month parade for the Pats to get into 8 superbowls. The AFC was a much more balanced conference when 4 or 5 teams had a decent shot every year in the decades before the 90's
As a Seahawks fan, I will forever be haunted by that interception.
As a Bengals fan, I feel your pain.
Nobody is more haunted than Pete Carroll. I am sure he wished he had handed the ball to Marshawn Lynch.
As a Patriots fan, I will forever be haunted by the dropped interception and the helmet catch. I was at a superbowl party at a neighbor's here in Boston. There was one Giants fan in a house full of Pat's fans. It was the Patriots' perfect season. Boy, you could hear a pin drop at the end of the game and the party ended abruptly. Even the Giants fan kept.his mouth shut at the end of that game.
It's cool to see that of Pittsburgh's four SBs in the 1970s, two of them were sealed by big bombs from Terry Bradshaw, a 64-yarder to Swann in X and a 73-yard strike to Stallworth in XIV. Man, Bradshaw had a deep game.
Not a steelers fan (a cowboys fan ironically) but i find it funny he always gets called overrated and gets accused of riding coattails, it seems to me like he balled out in those super bowls, a very good QB imo

Since then, there have been a few select instances of wildcat plays, but no one runs it too often because in 2009, defenses learned to counter and adapt to consistent wildcat play.

Giants Bills was the best SB ever and the most well played too. No turnovers and it was played in a time when you were allowed to play defense.

The falcons losing to the Patriots was by far the most unexpected Super Bowl that nobody saw coming. The Seahawks vs Patriots was more back and forth with a questionable play call at the end, even though they had scored a bunch of touchdowns that season using that same pass play so it didn’t deserve the number one spot by a long shot.
One reason you could have seen the choke is because Matt Ryan and Cam Newton were not going to match Drew Brees. And seeing how the Saints took back the NFC South for four years straight and the rivalry that is still in Saints control even without Brees speaks to that. Payton/Brees Saints were the pinnacle of the NFC South and it won't be duplicated.

I personally feel that game is Brady’s most impressive victory (though I understand the consensus that it’s SB 51). Young QBs very rarely come out on top the second time they make the big game, and to do it with ice in his veins against a hellbent Panthers offense that was determined to steal the Patriots thunder. It’s also top 5 along with 52, 43, 32, and of course the GOAT 42.
My favorite will always be SB XXXIV. Two teams with equal legacies at stake, equally matched, with great quarterbacks battling for their place in history. No turnovers. No goat (old definition). No missed field goal. No epic blown lead or collapse. No blown coverage. No bad play call. No "That was amazing but I think there's still time on the clock" ending. No bad ref moment. Game came down to the essence of the sport: one man with the ball and another trying to stop him.
What a fantastic way to describe that game. It was so *pure*. I never truly realized that before, in that way (lifelong Rams fan).
I honestly remember the vast majority of that game as boring and remember thinking as it ended that it was almost a shame that such a boring game would be elevated to a great one by one missed drive
@@wronglever8130 100%. It was pure.
@@mirish25m To each their own of course but I loved that game even in the early going. A slow-roll first half that picked up steadily starting in the third with the Holt TD. Then there was the great Titans comeback from 16-0 to 16-16. This was still when Washington overcoming 10 points in XXII was the biggest SB comeback ever. SBs XXXI and XXXII had 10-point comebacks (Pats were down 10-0 and went up 14-10; Packers were down 17-7 to Denver and tied the game). But 16 points was unheard of. And that was all before the final two drives.
@@ashotonehlobyjacksilverste4416 I understand all of that, I just don't see how it's this high up the list IMO. I'm not saying it should be bottom 10 but I just can't get on the top 10 bandwagon and above games like XXV where it was a battle
As a Niners fan, it took a lot of courage for me to sit through no. 17 and 16 like taking a left and right hook back to back, but, no. 9 picked me back up.
Yeah, the upside is I can say that I've seen my team in 7 different Super Bowls. But when you have 5 wins you kind of expect that level through all eternity.
SB 23 is my favorite because it made me fall in love with this sport. it was the first one i watched and even at 8 years old i knew i was watching something special.
Yeah and to rank SB23 at #9 was pure BS!
Superb list! You know this channel knows their history! I think this will be the list I use for future reference on ranking Superbowls
its a decent list but i would have made a couple of changes
SB-42 was by far the most intense I ever saw. And it was a bigger upset than SB-3. There was a lot of bias towards the NFL in '68 and that was a SB between 2 different leagues altogether. You could not truly gauge them with common opponents or previous matchups. And this was the first SB for the NFL side without the Packers so 18-points as a favorite for the Colts was too much. The '07 Patriots nobody questioned as the greatest single-season team ever. The Giants? Most thought they would put up a decent game like in their regular season match but succumb in the end. 30-20 or 28-17 sounded like a perfectly reasonable-sounding final outcome for a Pat's win. Didn't happen though did it? I think only the 1980 Olympic hockey win and Buster Douglass over Tyson surpass it in sports history.
69 miracle mets too
The Pats should have been more prepared for SB-42. If you remember, the Giants almost beat them the last game of the regular season.
@@19580822 Oh yes, and that fueled the Giants through that epic 3 road-game playoff run to get to the SB. The Partiots playoff games? Obviously just 2 because they had a bye, both at home, and both wins. But VERY flat an unimpressive wins over the Jags and the the Chargers. Just a 21-12 win over the Chargers minus Tomlinson and a hobbled Rivers should have been a warning that the Pats may not be firing on all cylinders. The Giants must have thought after that bitter cold and brutal win in GB that as long as they were in a neutral venue in good weather and we will beat ANYONE. Took just a few things to fall the right way, but a few is all you need.
@@herecomesforego1787 That was huge too, but I was just thinking singular event sporting upsets.
What a catch that was!!!!!!!
The one that hurts most is the Hasselbeck Superbowl. He had just one shot but anyone who followed that team all year just kept seeing stunning win after win from a team that was anything but that the year prior. I made the majority of my football profits off this one team. They deserved a title just for being so great.
Nope it was the “undefeated” Pats, literally lost to no one But the biggest most important game to win and lost!
I'm not a Falcons fan but my heart still hurts for them because of 28-3
We got them back the next season I'm sure all atl fans were rooting for green. Eagles nest em with a backup QB. Run away Tom Brady, don't even shake foles hand

Super Bowl 52 was one of the greatest nights of my life! Local Sports talk radio was on nonstop for 2 weeks straight. The whole city was just in a better mood.

LII at 10 is crazy. It’s easily top 3
As a pats fan I think that was the greatest offensive super bowl and with 6 wins in the big game I’m happy that u guys got one even outta us
SB LII was the greatest ever NFL game in my opinion. That game had everything and should be top 5.
My best game (and my favorite probably cause it had my hometown team in it) was the 54-51 MNF game where the 2018 Rams (who lost in the SB sadly) and my team beat young Patrick Mahomes.
@@interstate1335yeah you had to cheat to get to the superbowl karma got y’all good!
@@gunterfindley4800 Not saying I agree with that call. It was bad, but if it works, it works.
Super Bowl 52 was one of the greatest Super Bowls ever!
I gotta give to #5 on this list, Steelers/Cardinals, because not only did it come down to the end, but it had #1- the greatest defensive play in Super Bowl history (James Harrison's 100 yard Pick Six), #2- the greatest Super Bowl TD catch in history (Santonio Holmes), and #3- the greatest Super Bowl winning TD pass in history (Roethlisberger). That game was nuts.
#5 is definitely one of the greatest of all time. I'd swap its position with the Giants/Patriots game, honestly. It was just a wholly better game.
Holmes wasn't a Catch. He only got one foot down. The other foot landed on top of the plant foot and never touched the Turf. No Catch. And I'm not biased, been a Bucs fan since 1976, but it wasn't a Catch.
@@6StrngWzrd Whatever you say buddy
Watching this I learned that the team I picked to win that year’s Super Bowl, lost more often than not. Also, still can’t fathom how Atlanta Falcons didn’t secure that win 25pt lead 2 mins left in 3rd quarter.
It was all Brady's works and MY determination for yelling at the TV that finally turned Brady around! I stood the entire second half of that superbowl, just outstanding luck, work and dedication by the pats to even pull it off
Atlanta was up by 11 with not much time left to go, they were in or near field goal range and they threw a pass play that got sacked for a huge loss. Dumb ass play calling. It's funny also that every single super bowl Brady won was close. The biggest margin of victory was 10 points in the 13-3 snoozer against LA. Watch here and tell me how can any team blow this: ruclips.net/video/016LXFHpFCk/видео.html
Running the ball, it uses up the clock. Good offenses with a balance of running/passing try to do that.
@@haben79the chiefs super bowl he won was the biggest margin of victory that one was 22 points
@@kevonsidek9737 Ah yes. I guess I was only considering his time with the Patriots.
Calling super bowl 53 a “defensive slug fest” is generous at best. If you were tired of the evil empire and weren’t a fan of the dirty rams game, it was a snorefest. At least the blowouts had scoring
It was still anyone's game until late in the 4th quarter, though. That's better than blowouts in which the game is decided by halftime.
I’m a Pats fan and hated that game. Literally felt like a Week 1 game
@@crixxxxxxxxx It was close yeah but I remember literally not caring about as much as I did in the SB48. So that's saying something
I am surprised it was ranked in the middle. It was so pathetic. We can thank the refs for putting the 2 wrong teams in it.
The Rams shouldn't have even been there. The only reason they were was because of the biggest no-call in NFL history. I still wonder to this day what a Brady vs. Brees Super Bowl would've been like.
I fully believe SB 51 was the greatest football game of all time, but the two higher on this list are deserving. The fact that 5 of the top 10 have Tom Brady and the Patriots is insane, especially being in all the top 3
I think 51 was the greatest I ever saw I been watching since 87 redskins and Broncos and 51 was the best thar great come bk yeah I like the one against the Seahawks and the giants one wasn’t not exciting it was but not like 51
That was the game that changed my opinion on Tom Brady. I mean, I always begrudgingly accepted that he was an amazing player and top tier QB, but I never acknowledged that he was the GOAT. 51 changed that. Can't deny it anymore. Tom Brady is the greatest QB in NFL history. I think I still liked watching Peyton more, though.
Can't believe Eagles thrilling win in SB 52 isn't Top 5. Miraculous win, total yardage record. Philly Special, one of guttsiest plays ever.. a true classic

Nah, Super Bowl 42 is definitely number 1. You cant tell me a 5th seed wild card team beating arguably the greatest team ever on the verge of perfection with that game winning drive isn't the best Super Bowl ever
Beside the last 5 minutes the game was shit, simple as that, the context of the game make the game greater than the game itself
@@guilhermestringheta2902 I picked the Giants to win that one. They had only lost by 3 in the regular season and the Patriots were wearing out their team running up the scores on bad teams. Nothing made me happier than them losing. This was definitely better than the game they chose as #1.
Us Dolphin fans will forever thank that team.
@@HercuLync but that’s the thing, you’re talking about the moment rather than the game itself. The game really is only remembered for the last 4 drives where as 49 was a back and forth game down to the final play
Ah yes, the classic "I care more about storylines and narratives than the actual plays made in the game" approach.
You should do the best playoff games of each year next. I’m loving these videos they really hype me up for the next season.
I disagree with putting SB 50 (Denver-Panthers) so low. I thought it was a tense defensive battle until Denver pulled away in the last 5 minutes.
Exactly. I love Peyton Manning, but that game had one of those feelings similar to SB XLII where if you were rooting for the respective Manning brother which I was, you felt worried that they might not put up enough points to win and that the defense might make a mistake or just be unable to stop them again because the game is geared to benefit offenses so much that no defense can be asked to win every series. It's like asking an ace to never give up a single run. Sooner or later, something gets through.
The game where the ENTIRE nation simultaneously lost respect for Cam Newton. When that bit
Defensive games don’t sell for this guy
Superbowl 38 is so underrated from the defensive stalemate in the first half which was really entertaining and than the 2nd half offensive explosion outta of no where, the vinateri early miss FG and one being block, the John Kasay missed kick outta bounds, Jake's bomb to Mushin Muhammad, it was just so many amazing moments, to deserves to be top ten
Pats-panthers was definitely a fun one that flew under the radar
Hell yea definitely top 10 for me I would have picked that one over the falcons vs patriots one.
As a Seahawks fan putting our dominant win at the bottom feels like a slap to the face with all the sleepers that are ahead of us..
Especially with putting the one that gives you and other Seahawks fans the most nightmares at the top.
It's BS. It was dominance vs a historic offense. Despite being a blowout, it still had the wow factor of being so unexpectedly lopsided (kind of like Raiders/Washington and Bucs/Chiefs). Those are always more interesting than blowouts where an outmatched underdog gets pummeled as expected (Bears/Patriots, 49ers/Broncos, 49ers/Chargers)
Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta really started the trend of fantastic finishes almost to a daily basis. before then it was rare at best to get the championship decided at the very end...
As a Steeler fan the Super Bowls we lost are ones I'd like to forget of course. But I love every one of the ones we've won.
42 is the best, then 34, and I'm a life long Rams fan, first game I remember was SB14. I lived in Socal and the Rams were winning that day. Then began 2 decades of suffering. We had Dickerson, Jim Everett and Henry Ellard. Then the misery of the 90s and embarrassing losses to the 49ers twice a year for 10 years. But, the Giants taking perfection away from those cocky patriots was priceless. Never hated Brady, just the Pats.
At least y’all won this year!
@@tylerjohnson4156 yes, 22 years later, and we finally got to beat Brady in the playoffs.

@@detectif1061 you can have your opinion, 18-1 is mine. And Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, etc. are not associated with cheating, The Rams did not lose draft picks for cheating and/or fined. And they were not caught a second time.

@@joshuamcneal i know i can have my opinion.
SuperBowl 52 is my Number 1 SuperBowl of All Time
I loved super bowl 48 because it shows defense wins championships. The greatest statistical offense ever was stopped in its tracks by the legendary legion of boom. Real football fans can appreciate that.
or it just shows how much of a choke artist peyton manning is in the playoffs
No one liked the Seahawks. My mom, who doesn’t even like football, was sad the Broncos lost to that gang of unlikeable douche bags
@@nickfarwell8104 he does have a record 13 playoff losses and 2 SB losses
I respect this saying but for me 48 was just a blowout where it was done and over with and Peyton choked another Super Bowl. The legion of Boom was great don’t get me right but put an asterisk next to legendary since Tom Brady dismantled this defense the very next year in the Super Bowl and his best pass catcher was a TE
It shows how valuable pass rush can be, although that db squad gets the most respect from that crew. But that pass rush was the most important, Peyton could barely get throws off, without his arm or something getting hit.
The fact that Brady is in all Top 3 insane.
Patriots bias. No way do the Pats get three games that top Steelers-Cowboys in XIII.

I’ve gone to 2 Super Bowls in my life, I was born an raised in Arizona but grew up a Falcons fan (my dads fault 🤦🏼♂️) so when SB 49 rolled in to town my father and I thought what the heck let’s find a way to go since our team might never make it again in our lifetimes. So we lucked out and scored 2 lower level 10 yard line tickets and watched one of the most exciting finishes ever the Butler Interception was on our goal line it was insane. So two year later our Falcons finally overcome all odds and make it to the Super Bowl and well y’all know how that one goes. Since that day I’ve always said witnessing that is going to take some years off my life. At least I got to witness 2 of the top 3 Super Bowls I’m truly lucky.
The Steel Curtain is the best D ever period. Name me another Defence that were dominating more then a decade and won 4 rings. 85 Bears and 2000s Ravens are only 1 season wonders, especially the 85 Bears. Same with the Boom.
You're probably right but those Seahawks did make two superbowls and were the number scoring defense in the league for four straight years but the Steelers were definitely greater
This is the one right here!
You might want to look at the 1985 Bears defense headed by Buddy Ryan. That’s the best defense I’ve ever saw!
If you're going to mention those other 1 year wonder Defenses you have to mention the SB 50 broncos seeing how they single handily won the SB and got them there in the first place .
@@smhollanshead he mentioned them and is talking about the steelers dynasty that made them so great. 85 bears were a 1 year defense

I always called him “Wrecks Gross, man!”
Ha! The Bears' quarterbacks always suck.
Bears defense lost that game not Rex. To this day I still hate the prevent defense
@@michaelallmon9319 I'll put blame on Grossman where it is deserved. But I agree, I'll never understand why they decided to go to that defense after the first quarter. From memory, it seems like the Bears' defense was wreaking havoc on the Colts, then they change?
What especially frustrated me about that game was that despite the Bears being outplayed in just about every department, they were still only losing by 5 until the pick 6 in the fourth quarter. If Chicago could have just done better in one department - one area of the game- the Bears might have won that one.
It was over when Bob Sanders put the hit on Cedric Benson. The Bears quit
I think the most shocking fact in superbowl history is that Rex Grossman quarterbacked a team to a superbowl at all.
They lead on the first play and still got blown out. I think they won 14 or 15 games that year.

The back and forth and craziness of the final 4 minutes of Super Bowl 43 make it the best of all time. It should NOT be as low as 5. 51 is absolutely not better than 43
There’s no way a game like Super Bowl 48 - that featured a kickoff return TD, a pick 6, and one of the best individual efforts ever on a catch and run TD (Jermaine Kearse) - could be worse than than a 16-6 snooze fest like the Steelers - Vikings.
This one is definitely recency bias. The most recent blowout and not even the largest one. 49ers Broncos was way more boring than this. But since the people making this were probably either children or not even alive when the game happened (I myself was 11 days old), they no doubt forgot how boring it was. Or they couldn't stand to put a game that featured Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, and John Elway at the bottom even if it's deserved, because they're legends and get a free pass.
Spoken like a true casual. A 35 point beatdown is better than a 10 point game? Lol you casuals are something else. Flashy doesn’t mean better
