History of Super Bowl

The championship game of the National Football League (NFL) which has become the most-watched American television broadcast. Internationally over 200 million people around the world watch the game and many singers and musicians have performed over the years in what has become known as the half-time ceremonies.

The 1st Super Bowl was played on January 15th, 1967 as an agreement between the NFL and a rival league known as the American Football League (AFL). In 1970, these two rival leagues merged and the championship game was played between the two conferences – AFC or American Football Conference and the NFC or National Football Conference.

The name “Super Bowl” was actually proposed by AFC founder and Kansas City Chiefs owner, Lamar Hunt, who jokingly mentioned he thought of the name while watching his children play with a small, round ball called a “Super Ball”. The name was used and later became permanent.

The Super Bowl is played annually on a Sunday as the final game of the NFL Playoffs. Originally, it was played on the second Sunday in January, and then changed to the third and fourth Sunday over the years. Currently, the Super Bowl is played on the 1st Sunday in February as a result of the aggressive expansion of the league over the years. Expansion factors include a change from 14 to 16 games in the regular season, a change from two to three playoff rounds, the addition of the regular season bye-week and the decision to start the regular season the week after Labor Day.

The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify the game rather than the year in which it is played. The 1st Super Bowl is known as Super Bowl I and the most recent is known as Super Bowl XLII. The winner of the Super Bowl gets the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named after the coach of the Green Bay Packers, who won the very 1st two Super Bowl games.

SUPER BOWL DYNASTIES AND SUPERBOWL PLAYER PERFORMANCE

Green Bay Packers (titles 1967 and 1968)

They won the first two Super Bowl games in 1967 and 1968. Coached by Vince Lombardi they were truly the team of the 1960’s also capturing pre-Super Bowl titles in 1961, 1962 and 1965.

Miami Dolphins (titles 1972 and 1973)

They are the only team to go undefeated for the entire season in the Super Bowl era in 1972. They went to three straight Super Bowls in 1971, 72 and 73. They lost to the Dallas Cowboys in 1971 but won 2 straight titles the following two years.

Pittsburgh Steelers (titles 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979)

Undefeated in four Super Bowls during the 1970’s. Coached by Chuck Noll and led by players like Terry Bradshaw, “Mean” Joe Greene and Lynn Swann they are the only team to win four Super Bowls in six years.

San Francisco 49ers (titles 1981, 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994)

Undefeated in five Super Bowls the 49ers were THE team in the 1980’s and early 90’s. During the 1980’s head coach Bill Walsh implemented the ‘West Coast Offense’ which focuses on short, precise passes as a replacement/augmentation of the running game. Players like Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Ronnie Lott made the 49ers the longest running dynasty in Super Bowl history.

Dallas Cowboys (titles 1977, 1992, 1993 and 1995)

The Dallas Cowboys are the only team during the Super Bowl era to have two separate dynasties. During the late 1970’s they went to three Super Bowls but only won in 1977. Their second dynasty in the 90’s was more successful. Led by Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin they won titles in 1992, 1993 and 1995.

Buffalo Bills (no titles)

They dominated the AFC in the early 1990’s but were never able to win the big game. They appeared in the Super Bowl a record four straight years but each appearance ended in a loss. Their incredible core of players included Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith and Thurmond Thomas.

New England Patriots (2002, 2004 and 2005)

Led by quarterback Tom Brady the New England Patriots came out of nowhere in 2001 and have made the playoffs every year since. The three titles are impressive but they also lost one game in 2008 to the New York Giants. The team has been the most successful in the league over the last ten years.
