The Super Bowl is as big as it gets in American sports. The annual showdown between the winners of the NFL’s American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC) determines the recipient of the iconic Vince Lombardi Trophy as champions of the National Football League.
This biggest game of games on the sports calendar has produced some of the most thrilling and heartbreaking moments in sports history. Joe Namath’s “guarantee” that the underdog New York Jets would win Super Bowl III, which they did. Joe Montana’s march down the field in the closing moments of Super Bowl XXIII, culminating in the winning touchdown pass to John Taylor. Malcom Butler’s interception to seal the Super Bowl XLIX win for the New England Patriots. Kevin Dyson tackled at the one-yard line as time expired in Super Bowl XXXIV. Scott Norwood’s missed field goal in Super Bowl XXV. Adam Vinatieri’s game-winning field goal on the final play of Super Bowl XXXVI. And the list goes on.
The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are tied for the most Super Bowl trophies, each with six victories. The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers each have five Super Bowl wins. The New York Giants have won the Super Bowl four times, as have the Green Bay Packers who emerged victorious from the very first Super Bowl.
In a remarkable display of parity since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, the NFC holds an advantage over the AFC by the slimmest of margins, 26 wins to 25. And only four current NFL teams have not played in the Super Bowl. Every season, every team has a chance to play in the final game of the NFL season. Will this year be the one your team makes it to the Super Bowl?
