About Super Bowl Winners

The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League, and for one Sunday every February it is the closest thing the United States has to a national holiday. The winners of the American and National Football Conferences meet at a neutral stadium picked years in advance, almost always a warm-weather city or a dome, and the game is numbered in Roman numerals, a convention the league has broken only once, for Super Bowl 50 in 2016.

It did not begin as a spectacle. The first game, in January 1967 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, came out of the merger agreement between the NFL and the upstart American Football League. Nearly a third of the seats sat empty, tickets cost about twelve dollars, and it is still the only Super Bowl carried live by two networks at once. Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers won it 35-10, and the trophy has borne Lombardi's name since his death in 1970. The name "Super Bowl" is usually credited to Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, who had watched his children bounce a toy called a Super Ball; the first two games were stiffly titled the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game."

Television made it the biggest annual event on American screens. Super Bowl broadcasts occupy almost every place on the list of most-watched programs in U.S. history, drawing audiences well past a hundred million, and a single thirty-second commercial now sells for around seven million dollars. The halftime show grew along the same curve, from marching bands to Michael Jackson in 1993, U2's tribute after the September 11 attacks, Prince playing "Purple Rain" in a real downpour, the 2004 performance that rewrote live-broadcast rules, and modern headliners like Rihanna, Usher and Kendrick Lamar.

The games have built their own permanent folklore. Joe Namath guaranteed a win for the underdog Jets in Super Bowl III and delivered it. The Buffalo Bills reached four straight Super Bowls from the 1990 to 1993 seasons and lost all four, the first on a field goal that sailed wide right in the final seconds. New England came back from 28-3 down to beat Atlanta in overtime, one of only two Super Bowls to need it. A Tennessee receiver was tackled one yard short of the tying touchdown as time expired in Super Bowl XXXIV. The Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers share the record with six championships each, San Francisco and Dallas have five, and Tom Brady alone played in ten Super Bowls and won seven, more than any franchise. At the other end, Seattle's rout of New England in Super Bowl LX made the Patriots the first team to lose six.

Sixty games in, the Super Bowl is as much a cultural fixture as a sporting one. This quiz runs through the whole history one championship at a time: the matchups, the scores, the MVPs, the host stadiums and the all-time records, and every question asks the same thing: which team won?
