[edit] List
- Vince Lombardi both:
- had the Superbowl trophy named after him
- led his Green Bay Packers to victories in the first two Super Bowls.
- Super Bowl III - Joe Namath guaranteed a Super Bowl victory and his New York Jets got that guarantee by winning the Big Game over the Baltimore Colts. After the game, "Broadway Joe" ran off the field holding up the No. 1 with his finger to symbolize the victory.
- Super Bowl V - Jim O'Brien makes the first-ever game-winning field goal in the game's history for the Colts over the Dallas Cowboys, 16-13. This was the same score as the 2001 AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the New England Patriots and the Oakland Raiders on January 19, 2002, in which, through a snowstorm, Adam Vinatieri made a game-winner in overtime after making a 45-yard field goal to tie the game with :27 left in regulation to beat the Raiders by that same score.
- Super Bowl VII - One of the NFL's funniest plays took place in the Coliseum when Garo Yepremian had his potential lead-stretching field goal blocked, then Garo picked the ball up, makes a feeble attempt to throw a pass, bobbles the football up in the air, and Washington lineman Mike Bass recovered the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown. Yepremian's Miami Dolphins did win the game, and was the only team in the league's history to go undefeated.
- Super Bowl X - Pittsburgh reciever Lynn Swann became the first wide reciever to win a Super Bowl MVP. He had only four catches for 161 yards and a touchdown for the game as the Steelers did beat the 'Boys 21-17.
- Super Bowl XII - On the "Stick 'Em" formation, the Cowboys ran a halfback pass as Robert Newhouse intentionally threw it to Bobby Richards in order to make the touchdown catch as Dallas beat Denver.
- Super Bowl XIV - This game had the largest attendance in history with 103,986 packing the Rose Bowl to watch Pittsburgh beat the L.A. Rams, 31-19.
- Super Bowl XVIII - Marcus Allen ran for a 74-yard touchdown run (which was then the longest running touchdown in Super Bowl history) on the final play of the 3rd period as the L.A. Raiders
went on to beat the 'Skins, 34-9. Allen got MVP honors for the game.
- Super Bowl XX - William Perry was playing running back when was really a defensive lineman when he scored a 1-yard touchdown run. "Da Bears" blew the Pats out of the Louisiana Superdome, 46-10.
- Super Bowl XXI - It was hot out in Pasadena, but in this Super Bowl, the only thing that was hot was Phil Simms' arm! He completed 22 of 25 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns, got MVP honors and led the New York Giants to victory.
- Super Bowl XXV - This game was best known for Buffalo placekicker Scott Norwood having his potential 47-yard game-winning field goal miss wide right as the Bills lost that game to the Giants.
- Super Bowl XXVII - When Leon Lett appeared to score a fumble-return for a touchdown, Buffalo reciever Don Beebe stripped the ball from his hands. But Dallas did beat the Bills, 52-17. It was also known for Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones' battle cry of "How 'bout them Cowboys?!"
- Super Bowl XXXI - Desmond Howard returned the ball the length of the field for a kickoff-return touchdown as the "G-Men" beat the Patriots 35-21.
- Super Bowl XXXIV - Mike Jones stopped Tennessee reciever Kevin Dyson one yard short of a touchdown on the final play of the game as St. Louis beat the Titans, 23-16.
- Super Bowl XXXVI - Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady set up Vinatieri's game-winning field goal at the end of the game to beat the Rams for the Patriots' first of three Super Bowl rings in four seasons, 20-17. Brady earned MVP honors for not only that game, but also in Super Bowl XXXVIII, in which Vinatieri's clutch heroics were repeated.
