Yeah, I watched Missing Rings for one of those Viking teams. Sad stuff.
Oh yeah, they sucked in SBs way before Buffalo made their reputation by dropping four straight. They usually went far in the playoffs because they played outdoors and in the winter the temps would just kill visitors ... but when they got to a game where they didn't have the built-in climate advantage, they didn't have a chance.
Either that or Bud Grant/Fran Tarkenton were the #1 big game chokers of all time. take your pick.

And I am pretty sure largest comeback was 10, Skins over Denver.
That was bad, but it had to have been even worse for the LA Rams of that era, who lost NFC championship games to Vikings and Cowboys teams that went on to lose Super Bowls in 74, 75, 76, and 78.
At least the Vikings (and, to a different extent, the Cowboys) got to play in Super Bowls; the Rams didn't even make it that far.

or Pat Haden . . . . or James Harris . . . . or Ron Jaworski (at least with the Rams).
Dieter Brock!
Nice one. About as overmatched in any single playoff game (the '85 NFC Championship Game) as any QB in history, I think.Dieter Brock!
in recent playoff memory, Tavaris Jackson and Quincy Carter both come to mind.....
Whos the only two players(exept mabeye Kurt Warner) to win a superbowl with two diffrent teams?
Hint: they played together in '94 and won helped the 49ers win the SB
Bill Rowmanowski and Charles Haley.
no they have also played with the cowboys but at diffrent times
you need to specify your questions better. you said the only two players to win superbowls with two different teams, and both Haley and Romo did it.
my bad
back to back superbowls with 2 diffrent teams
I'm not sure what the question is. I'm not sure mb knows what the question is.
Is it Deion? Ken Norton?
Not Super Bowl Trivia, but fun nonetheless: name the two NFL teams without a playoff win in the last decade.
Buffalo (95), Cleveland (89), Cincy (90), Dallas (96), Detroit (91), Houston (still waiting) and KC (97).

San Fran has won a playoff game?
What is the super bowl named after?
Lamar Hunt's daughters toy called a "Super Ball"
Yes,
2002 over the Giants 39-38. It think that was the one where the Giants bobbled a snap or something crazy.
Two players have played on the losing team in 5 different Super Bowls. One is Glenn Parker, who lost 4 times with the Bills and once with the Giants (SB XXXV). Who is the other? (hint: he's a well-known player).
Dieter Brock!
God damn all of you.
Just to wrap a few of these up:
2 of those teams won -- Howard, who was MVP for the Packers in SB XXXI and Lewis, whose team beat Dixon's Giants in SB XXXV. Most of the time, a kickoff return for a score is a bad thing.
As mikey said, Timmy Smith rushed for 204 yards in SB XXII and is the only player in history to have run for more than 200 yards in a Super Bowl. No player has ever returned a punt for a touchdown in a Super Bowl game.
There have been 8 rallies from halftime deficits in SB history: NYG d. NE (XLII), DAL d. BUF (XXVIII), NYG d. BUF (XXV), NYG d. DEN (XXI), WAS d. MIA (XVII), PIT d. LA (XIV), PIT d. DAL (X), BAL d. DAL (V).
The largest halftime deficit overcome is 7 points, accomplished by the Cowboys in SB XXVIII (trailed 13-6), the Redskins in SB XVII (trailed 17-10), and the Colts in SB V (trailed 13-6).
In the other games -- all involving the Giants and Steelers, the Giants trailed the Pats by 4 (NE 7, NYG 3) in SB XLII; they trailed the Bills by 2 in SB XXV (BUF 12, NYG 10); they trailed the Broncos by 1 in SB XXI (DEN 10, NYG 9). The Steelers trailed the Rams 13-10 at the half in SB XIV and they trailed the Cowboys 10-7 at the half in SB X.
