With that being said, let’s take a look at the 5 greatest Super Bowl games ever played. Which Super Bowl was your favorite?

4. Super Bowl XLII – Giants vs. Patriots​

The biggest upset in modern Super Bowl history, the undefeated Patriots had their perfect season ruined by an aggressive Giants defense and an absurd helmet catch from David Tyree. The 17-14 victory gave Eli Manning his first of his two Super Bowls in New York.

A classic Super Bowl game filled with Hall of Famers, the Steelers and Cowboys gave it all they had in a race to become the NFL’s first three-time Super Bowl winner. Terry Bradshaw’s 318 yards and 4 TDs helped Pittsburgh win that race with a 35-31 win.

2. Super Bowl LII Eagles vs. Patriots​

No way a backup quarterback could keep pace with Tom Brady, right? Well, despite Brady’s Super Bowl record 505 yards, the Eagles’ Nick Foles tossed for 373 yards of his own to go along with 4 total TDs. The underdog Eagles stayed aggressive and made enough defensive plays to snatch their first Super Bowl with a 41-33 win.

1. Super Bowl LI Patriots vs. Falcons​

The best Super Bowl of all time didn’t seem like it would be that kind of game after Atlanta raced to a 28-3 lead early in the 3rd quarter. But when it seemed like all hope was lost, Tom Brady answered the call. His 466 yards and 2 TDs helped the Patriots engineer the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, coming from 25 down to snatch a 34-28 overtime victory.
