LMAO tech education... lol jk
How many times has a team that trailed at halftime come back to win the Super Bowl, and what is the largest halftime margin ever overcome.
(I'll give a curious sidenote that gives away part of the answer: the Giants have come back from halftime deficits in all of their Super Bowl wins).
didn't the redskins come back to win?
i refuse to google for these answers. it'd be like cheating at golf.
True or false:
The Minnesota Vikings have never scored a first-half point in a Super Bowl game.
true......total guess
Yup -- Halftime scores of Minnesota's Super Bowl games
SB IV: KC 16, MIN 0
SB VIII: MIA 17, MIN 0
SB IX: PIT 2, MIN 0
SB XI: OAK 16, MIN 0
Pretty amazing.
Not a question, but some trivia.
In SB XXII, the Redskins scored 35 points in the 2nd quarter. There are only 4 Super Bowls in history in which the combined halftime score of the two teams exceeded the Redskins' 35 point quarter: SB XIX (SF 28, MIA 16); SB XXVII (DAL 28, BUF 10); SB XXIX (SF 28, SD 10); and SB XXXI (GB 27, NE 14).
that is amazing. i had no idea that the vikings had been to 4 SB's.
Easy one
How many times has the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl been returned for a touchdown?
Devin Hester
Hester, and Hester only. So, once.
Playing off of JT's question here's another about kickoff returns: 8 different players (Fulton Walker, Stanford Jennings, Andre Coleman, Desmond Howard, Tim Dwight, Ron Dixon, Jermaine Lewis, Devin Hester) have returned kickoffs for touchdowns in Super Bowl history, but how many of their teams actually won the game?
Which has happened more often in Super Bowl history: a player rushes for 200 yards or a player returns a punt for a touchdown?
man, you're killing me.
I think only one guy has ran for over 200 and that was Timmy Smith who ran for 206, I think, when Washington beat Denver in the Doug Williams game.
That was also the only game where a QB caught a TD pass. Elway caught one to give the Broncs the lead, then Williams slapped them in the 2Q and the game was over.
Here is one...
The first game GB vs. KC, was the only game where two networks covered it. CBS and NBC. CBS had the NFL contract and NBC had the AFL contract.
That's partially right. Elway did catch a pass in that game (from Steve Sewell, IIRC), but the Broncos only touchdown that day (they lost 42-10) came on a pass from Elway to Ricky Nattiel -- at the time, it was the earliest score in Super Bowl history.
Elway's catch did lead to Denver's field goal, which gave the Broncos a 10-0 lead, which was obviously obliterated very quickly thereafter.
My bad, maybe it was only QB to catch any kind of pass?
I was right though about Timmy Smith, although it was 204 not 206.
Appeared in and played in are two different things.
Beebe made an appearance in uniform.
just sayin
that's a tough one. Most of the games in the 80s and early 90s were blowouts.
is the Cowboys/Steelers Jackie Smith dropped pass one of those games?
That's incorrect. You can go see the boxscores of Super Bowls XXV and XXXII -- I did that this afternoon. In neither is Beebe listed as having played in the game and in neither is Beebe listed as a player who "did not participate." That is proof that Beebe didn't suit up for those games -- that he wasn't active in either. I don't remember the specifics of either situation, but I seem to recall Beebe being hurt for Super Bowl XXXII with the Packers, which would explain why he didn't appear in that game. I think he was too far down the Bills' depth chart to appear in Super Bowl XXV. He was simply among the players who were "on the roster," but were inactive for that game.
Besides, a player who doesn't get on the field in a game doesn't "appear" in that game.
With that, Beebe was "only" in uniform for 4 Super Bowls and, thus, Lodish remains the only player to have been in uniform for 6 games and to have appeared in 6 games.
No. The Steelers won that game and were ahead 21-14 at the half, after Rocky Bleier outjumped D.D. Lewis for a pass late in the first half -- about 25 seconds before halftime. Steelers got two touchdowns from Stallworth, with a Tony Hill TD catch sandwiched between. Mike Hegman and Hollywood Henderson ripped the ball away from Bradshaw in the 2nd quarter to get the Cowboys other score.
Still one of my favorite Super Bowls -- incredible star power, a back-and-forth first half, a dominating spurt by the Steelers, a controversial PI call against the Cowboys, a furious Cowboys comeback, and, of course, the human drama of Jackie Smith.
