Throwback Thursday: Ranking The 54 Super Bowls

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs will play in Super Bowl LV this Sunday. It’ll be a home game for the Buccaneers. That’s a first. Tom Brady will be playing in his 10th championship game and for his seventh title. That isn’t a first. Otto Graham did it. He led the Cleveland Browns to seven titles and it only took him ten seasons to do it. Few care about Graham’s deeds because they came before the Super Bowls. This, however, isn’t about pre-Super Bowl history. This is about the Super Bowls that came before Sunday’s game. Here's a ranking of those 54 Super Bowls. I hope that the 55th will slide in somewhere near the top of next year's rankings. A good Super Bowl is a fun Super Bowl.
