Top 3 Super Bowls in the Modern Era

By Amari Brown

The Superbowl is the game every football player and fan dream and hope to be in. So when two of the NFL bests go at it and it results in a memorable game, that’s what we watch for. So here are the top three Super Bowls since the start of the century.

3. Super Bowl 43

Steelers vs Cardinals
27       -       23

Again Big Ben with the heroics late in the 4th quarter. Down 20-23 Santonio Holmes made a toe tap catch for the ages to clinch a thrilling and exciting Super Bowl that featured Big James Harrison returning a pick for a 100 yards to end the first half.

2. Super Bowl 49

Seahawks vs Patriots
24       -       28

Thanks to the dumbest play call in Super Bowl history, Tom Brady and company was able to escape this one off of a tremendous play made by Malcom Butler to pick off Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on the 1 yard line. You don’t throw the ball on the 1 yard line when you have beast mode Marshawn Lynch at running back.

1. Super Bowl 42

Giants vs Patriots 
17     -    14
​

This was possibly the biggest upset in sports history. The Patriots were 18-0 and were 12 point favorites and were clearly the best team in the league all year, with Tom Brady and Randy Moss breaking records left and right. But thanks to the luckiest play in Super Bowl history the Giants were able to pull off the upset of the century.
