Super Bowl rematches have happened nine times, including this year! We’ve seen more than one game between the Cowboys and Steelers, 49ers and Bengals, Eagles and Patriots, Cowboys and Bills, Rams and Patriots, Giants and Patriots, Bills and Cowboys, and Dolphins and Washington.
The New England Patriots have appeared in 11 Super Bowl games (2018, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2011, 2007, 2004, 2003, 2001, 1996, 1985). The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cowboys trail with 8. None of those teams are playing this year, so that will not change.
Has a Woman Ever Officiated the Super Bowl? Yes! Sarah Thomas became the first woman to officiate the Super Bowl in 2021.
Who Sang the Longest National Anthem?Alicia Keys clocked in at 2 minutes 35 seconds during Super Bowl XLVII. The average length is about 1 minute and 50 seconds.
Which Team Has the Most Super Bowl Wins? The Steelers and Patriots are tied with six championships apiece. The 49ers have five, so a win this year would tie that stat.
Which Team Has the Most Super Bowl Losses? The Denver Broncos and Patriots are tied with five losses each. The Broncos have three wins, most recently in 2016.
Four teams have the dubious distinction of never making it to a Super Bowl: The Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Miami has hosted the Super Bowl 11 times, with Hard Rock Stadium hosting 6. The runner-up is New Orleans with 10.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams are the only teams to play in their home stadiums.
The players get post-season bonuses, in addition to their NFL salaries. In 2022, players on the winning teams got $150,000, but when you add in their bonuses from previous playoff rounds, most took home $250,000. But don’t feel too sorry for the losers: Last year, they ended up with about $185,000 for their post-season play. Some players have contract incentives for Super Bowl appearances.
