    Three best Super Bowls IMHO:

    1) Bills-Giants SB XXV
    2) Titans-Rams SB SBXXIV
    4) Cardinals-Steelers XLIII

    The whole game riding on a 4th and 1 - I don't know how things can get much more dramatic. I think this was one of the underrated great SB moments of all time. I think it gets overlooked because of the Dolphins QB being lightly regarded.
    Don't forget Joe Theismann saving the day by batting a potential pick 6 out of Kim Bokamper's hands. He catches that and it's 24-13 and "good night Irene," to quote Frank Herzog. Looking back at that SB, we should have blown those jokers out 27-3. Kickoff return and first play fluke TD. Other than that, they completed 4 passes the ENTIRE game and had 11 yards of offense in the 4th quarter.

    The 80s Redskins are like the overlooked dynasty and I think its a combination of no star linking the teams, the opponents, and the two strike years. Riggins is still considered the biggest star of those teams and he was retired for two of the three wins.

    And David Woodley's involvement doesn't help matters.

    I'd have to put the Rams-Titans SB as the best.

    Of the Superbowls I attended I think the 2009 one with the Steelers vs the Cardinals was the most exciting game.

    Agreed. That Super Bowl is at least the best of my lifetime if not the best of all time.

    Bills-Giants is way above the later 2.

    Both the Rams-Titans and Steelers-Cards were games with great second halves. The first half of both games were nothing to write home about. The losing team woke up in the second half and made it game. Actually, that's how alot of the recent close superbowls have been.

    We were also overshadowed by the Niners and the Giants somewhat.

    Giants/Bills should honestly be number 1.

    I don't understand how they are ranking the super bowls? The story behind the game? or the game itself?

    If it is the game itself, I strongly disagree with the list because Super Bowl 3 wasn't a good game.

    Agreed.

    And the everlasting memory of the '85 Bears, widely regarded as one of the greatest teams of all time, not to mention the arrival of the '90's Cowboys, after we won it all in '91. I think the '91 team is the biggest travesty. That team was an absolute machine, yet was forgotten about because of the Niners and Cowboys. I think things would've changed at least a little bit if the '83 team had won as well. It would've been very hard to forget about 4 Lombardi's in 8 years, especially when you consider how good that '83 team was.
