How many superbowls have there been

It was the Vikings' last stand, and it was ugly. They were really never in the game. The final tally was , but it really wasn't that close. It was. Gil Brandt's take: "That Chargers club got off to a slow start and really shouldn't have even been there.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young and offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan went over all plays beforehand and knew they were ready. Young's line: for yards and six touchdowns. That would indicate he was probably ready to play. Miami ran Larry Csonka counter to the flow of traffic, making the impact of the knifing Alan Page -- the Minnesota Vikings' Hall of Fame defensive tackle -- almost negligible. Csonka ran for yards, and quarterback Bob Griese threw seven passes all game.

This was pretty much awful. You know, the Rice Owls, a Division I powerhouse. Who would've thought? The Steelers' momentous franchise victory -- their first NFL championship in 40 years as an organization -- came at the expense of fans. What a snoozer, made up for by the fact there was no offense. And when I mean no offense, I mean no offense. Franco Harris rushed for by himself.

Uh, no offense intended, Vikings fans. I needed something for this lousy game, and that's all I had. Awful conditions in a game that featured Rex Grossman at quarterback. Peyton Manning shot a commercial with a colleague of mine after this Super Bowl and told him the Colts "could've scored 70 that game. The Bears' Cover 2 scheme left Reggie Wayne open by about a dozen yards on his yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.

This game was saved, at least from an entertainment standpoint, when three touchdowns were scored on three straight plays: The Baltimore Ravens scored a touchdown, the New York Giants' Ron Dixon brought the kickoff all the way back, and then Ravens kick returner Jermaine Lewis answered. Without that string of football magic dust, this dud would have been even lower on this list.

Dallas' second Super Bowl win was an unexciting game, with the Cowboy defense dominating throughout. Gil Brandt recalled safety Randy Hughes' performance and laments that a player with such potential had his career ruined by shoulder injuries. Hughes and the secondary played well, but co-MVPs Harvey Martin and Randy White were downright suffocating for the Denver Broncos quarterbacks, who combined to go for 61 yards and four interceptions.

After much reflection on this game, I came up with this: Rich Gannon played poorly, the Tampa 2 did not. For a relatively close game, this one was not liked, on any level, by anyone I've spoken with. This Super Bowl featured a horrific uni matchup, bad calls by the refs and a storyline that centered on Jerome Bettis finishing his career in his hometown of Detroit.

Other than Thurman Thomas misplacing his helmet prior to the game, causing him to miss the start, this Super Bowl was devoid of excitement. The loss was the first of three consecutive awful losses for Marv Levy's Buffalo Bills, and perhaps the only time anyone thought the Washington Redskins' Mark Rypien might be the best quarterback in the NFL. Come on, somebody did. Coliseum before the game. McGee says to Dowler, 'Hey, you can't come out of the game.

I can't play today. I was out all night and got in at 7 a. Brandt: "We lost in the championship to the Packers that year because a lineman we traded for, Jim Boeke, jumped offsides when we had first-and-goal from the 2. Don Meredith ended up having to try to pass to get the touchdown and threw the interception to Tom Brown. Leon Lett's non-touchdown fumble return has been a teaching video for literally a million junior high football players, courtesy of former Buffalo Bills wideout Don Beebe.

Who sprints that hard to stop a game from being ? Beebe did. Oakland Raiders linebacker Rod Martin intercepted the ball three times. It's hard to win when the other team's linebacker gets three picks. This ballgame was mostly a snoozer, although Philadelphia was in the game up until the Raiders dominated the fourth quarter. Gil Brandt's take: "The Vikings might have been the best team that year but, you know, they missed the field goal.

Gary Anderson missed it. But it was more than just that kick. Remember, Atlanta's Chuck Smith came around the end and forced the fumble. That led to a touchdown right before halftime. Minnesota didn't need to be throwing in that situation. Brandt has a point. He was a first-round draft pick of the Chargers. While the media circus centered around quarterback Doug Williams being African-American, perhaps some reporter should've noticed his quick release and 80 yards worth of arm strength.

A record point second quarter served notice in the Washington Redskins' beatdown of the Denver Broncos. Gil Brandt's take: "There's always a few plays that alter the outcome. If you go back and look at games where a team gets a quick touchdown right before halftime, that team usually wins.

Joe Theismann threw that little pass out in the flat, and No. That was a big factor in the game. Their turnover differential that season was an absolutely mind-boggling plus Still, I would say a loss constitutes a beating. Gil Brandt's take: "They were a good football team because of their defense. Foul weather, from ice, snow and below-freezing temperatures to downpours and excessive heat, has adversely affected NFL games since the dawn of the league more than years ago.
