In the NFL, David has slain Goliath a few times in Super Bowl history. See how the 2022 Super Bowl compares to some of football’s greatest upsets.
Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl win was perhaps his most unlikely, as theentered as 14-point underdogs against the “Greatest Show on Turf” Rams. Kurt Warner’s squad was looking for a second title in three years, while Brady had just 16 starts to his name. New England had a 17-3 lead entering the fourth quarter before St. Louis tied the game with a minute and a half to play. Brady then marched down the field to set up a game-winning field goal as time expired, sealing a 20-17 win.
Six years after Brady’s third Super Bowl, he entered as a 12.5-point favorite as the 18-0 Patriots faced the 13-6 Giants. New England’s historic offense never got going in this one, holding a narrow 7-3 lead entering the fourth quarter. The teams traded scores in the final frame, with Plaxico Burress’ touchdown catch putting New York ahead 17-14 with 35 seconds left. Brady and Co. couldn’t do anything with the short time remaining, and their perfect season was spoiled by Eli Manning.
The first 18-point spread was in the aforementioned Super Bowl III between the Jets and Colts, with New York winning the game 16-7. Twenty-six years later, there was another 18-point spread. In Super Bowl XXIX, the were massive favorites over the San Diego Chargers – and they delivered. Steve Young’s 49ers won the game 49-26, covering the 18-point spread as they locked up their fifth Super Bowl title in 13 years.The favorite has lost the Super Bowl outright 19 times in its 55-year history. Last year was the most recent example of this, when the Chiefs were three-point favorites over the Buccaneers and lost the game 31-9.
