There was a time when most Super Bowls were like this.
I remember when the 49ers and Cowboys routinely blew out lesser opponents on the game’s biggest stage, when the Broncos and Bills lost huge seemingly every season. The Bears killed the Patriots, the Ravens smothered the Giants, the Giants and Washington football team battered Denver, and so on, and so on, and so on.
It was a rarity to have a Super Bowl played down to the wire, but in the age of NFL free agency, most Super Bowls have been relatively close, if not downright thrilling.
