After tonight’s epic Seahawks win, we wondered which team had played in the most SuperBowls. First thought (reflecting our age): Cowboys or Steelers.
Yup.
Trivia to know and tell:
- Eight appearances: Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers (#1)
- Seven appearances: Denver Broncos and New England Patriots (#2)
- Six wins: Pittsburgh Steelers (#1)
- Five wins: Dallas Cowboys (#2)
- Five losses: Denver Broncos (#1)
- Four losses: Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots (#2)
- One win/one loss: Bears, Chiefs, Seahawks
- One appearance/one win: Buccaneers, Jets, Saints
And then there’s the spread:
- 45 points, 49ers, 55 – Broncos, 10 (1990)
- 36 points, Bears, 46 – Patriots, 10 (1986)
- 35 points, Cowboys, 52 – Bills, 17 (1993) / Seahawks, 43 – Broncos, 8 (2014)
And points scored by the winning team:
- 55-10, 49ers-Broncos (1990)
- 52-17, Cowboys-Bills (1993)
- 49-26, 49ers-Chargers (1995)
- 48-21, Buccaneers-Raiders (2003)
- 43-8, Seahawks-Broncos (2014)
