We would all love if Super Bowl 50 proves to be the greatest game of them all. But while we wait for Sunday, we’ll rank the first 49 this way:
49. XXIV — 49ers 55, Broncos 10: MVP Joe Montana threw five TD passes and it was 41-3 early in the third quarter as George Seifert became the second rookie head coach to win the Super Bowl and John Elway dropped to 0-3 in the Super Bowl.
48. XLVIII — Seahawks 43, Broncos 8: Only 12 seconds into the first quarter, Peyton Manning watched a center snap sail over his shoulder for a safety, and it was all downhill after that against the Legion of Boom in the first outdoor cold-weather Super Bowl … in 49-degree temperatures.
