No sporting event in North America tops the Super Bowl, with hundreds of millions of viewers tuning in every year to watch the 
NFL‘s annual championship game.

Green Bay Packers and 
Kansas City Chiefs in 1967, fans have been privy to some of the most dramatic and memorable moments in football history in the 59 editions we’ve had to date.
As we look forward to Super Bowl LX between the 
New England Patriots and 
Seattle Seahawks, join us on a trip down memory lane as we rank the greatest Super Bowls of all-time.

Super Bowl XXIII (1988) — 49ers 20 – Bengals 16
The 
San Francisco 49ers were looking for their third Super Bowl title when they met the 
Cincinnati Bengals in Miami at the pinnacle of the 1988 NFL season.
It turned out to be a defensive battle, with the teams only scoring three touchdowns between them. But the Bengals held a 13-6 advantage heading into the fourth quarter, thanks to a 93-yard kickoff return by Stanford Jennings.
That’s when Joe Montana and Jerry Rice went to work. Montana found his superstar receiver for a touchdown to tie the game at 13, before the Bengals responded with a field goal to take back the lead.
With just over three minutes left on the clock, Montana proceeded to drive the Niners’ offense 92 yards down the field, culminating in a 10-yard passing touchdown to John Taylor to give San Francisco the lead with 34 seconds to play.
Montana ended the game with 357 yards and two touchdowns, while Rice registered an astounding 215 receiving yards on 11 receptions.

Super Bowl XXXVI (2001) — Patriots 20 – Rams 17
The New England Patriots‘ first Super Bowl included one of the most dramatic finishes of all-time.
Tom Brady — in just his second NFL season — and the Patriots were 14-point underdogs against the St. Louis Rams, who were dubbed the “Greatest Show on Turf” at the time, led by star quarterback Kurt Warner.
But New England came out swinging, and held a 17-3 lead after three quarters of play. But Warner and the Rams roared back, tying the game with a minute and a half to play.
The young Brady showed poise beyond his years to drive the Pats down the field and bring them within field-goal range, handing the reigns off to Adam Vinatieri to secure the win with a 48-yard kick.
Vinatieri nailed the field goal as time expired, marking the first time a Super Bowl was decided on the final play of the game.
Brady received Super Bowl MVP honors after putting up 145 passing yards and one touchdown.

Super Bowl LVII (2022) — Chiefs 38 – Eagles 35
The Kansas City Chiefs and 
Philadelphia Eaglesmet in Super Bowl LVII and went on to play a classic that went down as the third-highest scoring game in Super Bowl history.
The Eagles were fastest out of the gate, with Jalen Hurts leading his team to a 24-14 lead at halftime after throwing one touchdown pass and rushing into the endzone twice himself.
But Patrick Mahomes rallied his troops in the second half, and the Chiefs scored three touchdowns of their own to take the lead in the final quarter. Another rushing touchdown by Hurts leveled the score at 35 with a little over five minutes to play.
Playing through a high ankle sprain, Mahomes and the Kansas City offense meticulously ran down the clock and advanced into field-goal range, giving Harrison Butker a layup from 27 yards to seal the Chiefs’ title win.
Mahomes became the second player in NFL history to win both NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP in the same season.
7
Super Bowl XIII (1978) — Steelers 35 – Cowboys 31
Super Bowl XIII between the 
Pittsburgh Steelers and 
Dallas Cowboys was the first-ever rematch in Super Bowl history, after the two teams had met three years earlier in Super Bowl X.
It featured two star-studded teams featuring the likes of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris and Roger Staubach, and the game did not disappoint.
Bradshaw and the Steelers offense were too much to handle for the Cowboys, who were looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Pittsburgh held a 35-17 advantage late in the game, and held on for the win despite a late surge from the Cowboys.
The Steelers became the first team to win three Super Bowls, off the back of Bradshaw’s 318 passing yards and four touchdowns, earning him the Super Bowl MVP.
6
Super Bowl XLIII (2008) — Steelers 27 – Cardinals 23
Super Bowl XLIII is mainly remembered for a number of iconic plays that swung the game in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ favor.
The Steelers ran the show early, and went into the halftime break with a 17-7 lead following a remarkable 100-yard interception return by linebacker James Harrison — the longest play in Super Bowl history.
Pittsburgh took a 20-7 lead into the fourth quarter, with things looking all but over. But Kurt Warner and the 
Arizona Cardinals weren’t going to lay down and accept defeat, coming back to take the lead after scoring 16 unanswered points.
With time running out, Ben Roethlisberger drove the Steelers down the field with a eight-play, 78-yard drive down the field that culminated in one of the most famous catches in NFL history by Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes to steal the win.
5
Super Bowl XXXIV (1999) — Rams 23 – Titans 16
Super Bowl XXXIV between the St. Louis Rams and 
Tennessee Titans has gone down as the “One Yard Short” game because of the dramatic final play.
Warner and his “Greatest Show on Turf” Rams built a 16-0 lead midway through the third quarter, and looked to be running away with the Super Bowl.
But Steve McNair and the Titans mounted a spirited comeback to tie the game with over two minutes left to play, forcing the Rams to put together another drive for the win.
Warner found receiver Isaac Bruce with a 73-yard touchdown pass to regain the lead, but Tennessee still had time to change the outcome of the game.
With six seconds left to play and the ball on the 10-yard line, McNair connected with Kevin Dyson on a pass, but the receiver was stopped on the one-yard line by St. Louis linebacker Mike Jones, ending the game and giving the Rams the win.
4
Super Bowl XXV (1990) — Giants 20 vs Bills 19
Super Bowl XXV remains the only Super Bowl game ever to have been decided by one point, and kicked off the 
Buffalo Bills‘ heartbreaking run of four consecutive Super Bowl losses.
The 
New York Giants and Bills each recorded 13-3 records during the regular season, but Buffalo was favored by seven points to win their first ever Super Bowl.
The Giants emphasized possession, holding the ball for over 40 minutes and keeping the Bills offense off the field for large chunks of the game. New York running back Ottis Anderson was a force on the night, carrying the ball 21 times for 102 yards and a touchdown.
The teams went back and forth until the Giants took the lead late in the fourth. The game would end up decided at the foot of Buffalo kicker Scott Norwood, who lined up a potential game-winning field goal from 47 yards out. Norwood’s kick was far enough, but sailed wide right to give the Giants the win.
3
Super Bowl XLII (2007) — Giants 17 – Patriots 14
The Giants’ win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII is arguably the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. New England was looking to complete the first undefeated season in the NFL since 1972, while New York was a Wild Card team that snuck into the championship game.
The teams were locked in a stalemate through the first three quarters, having managed just 10 points between them up to that point. Brady and the Pats took a 14-10 lead with under three minutes to play, and it looked poised to complete their 19-0 season.
But Eli Manning had a different idea, making one of the most clutch plays in league history when he escaped heavy pressure to throw a 44-yard pass to David Tyree, who miraculously pinned the ball against his helmet and held on to secure the catch and a first down.
The Giants continued driving down field, and a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress gave New York the win with just 35 seconds left on the clock.
2
Super Bowl XLIX (2014) — Patriots 28 – Seahawks 24
The Patriots and Seattle Seahawks met for Super Bowl XLIX at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona on Feb. 1, 2015 after each team registered 12-4 records during the regular season.
Tom Brady and the Patriots were looking for their fourth Super Bowl title, while the Seahawks were looking to repeat as champions after securing their crown against the Denver Broncos a year prior.
Brady was at his best, throwing for 328 yards, four touchdowns and a Super Bowl record 37 completions. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, while star running back Marshawn Lynch had 24 carries for 102 yards.
Seattle entered the fourth quarter up 24-14, but the Patriots roared back to score two unanswered touchdowns and take the lead with just over two minutes left on the clock.
The Seahawks’ offense took the field for what would be their final drive of the game, determined to restore their lead and win consecutive Super Bowls. Wilson drove his team down the field, getting into the red zone thanks to an unbelievable juggling catch by Jermaine Kearse.
With just 26 seconds left on the clock and Seattle sitting on the goal line, the Seahawks seemed all but guaranteed to punch it in and win back-to-back Super Bowls.
The Seahawks chose to run a quick passing play instead, but the Patriots were ready. New England corner back Malcolm Butler recognized the play call, jumped the route and intercepted the pass, creating the most dramatic ending to any game in NFL history.

Super Bowl LI (2016) — Patriots 34 – Falcons 28 (OT)
Super Bowl LI lives in infamy as the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history — and any sport for that matter.
The 
Atlanta Falcons were in complete control midway through the game in Houston, up 28-3 over the Patriots at halftime. What happened next was borderline unbelievable.
Tom Brady and the Patriots scored 25 unanswered points to tie the game with less than a minute to play, shocking the Falcons and forcing the first overtime in Super Bowl history.
New England won the coin toss to start the extra frame, and drove down the field 75 yards and capped off their remarkable comeback with a short run into the endzone by James White to win their fifth Super Bowl.
Brady set a record for passing yards in a Super Bowl with 466 yards on 43 completions, earning his fourth Super Bowl MVP.
NFL Teams With the Most Super Bowl Wins
Only four NFL franchises own five or more Super Bowl victories.
The pro-wrestling industry has been very vocal in its praise following Sami Zayn‘s crowning as WWE Champion, who became the company’s 19th Grand Slam champion in the process.
On Saturday afternoon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Zayn came up against and defeated both Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a triple threat match in the main event of the Night of Champions to secure his first world title in WWE.
Towards the end of what was a high-octane, entertaining match, it looked like Zayn was going to get dropped with a Cross Rhodes. However, the Canadian wrestler managed to counter it into a pin and get the three-count to claim the victory, sending him and the crowd into raptures.
Fellow WWE Superstars React to Sami Zayn’s Historic Win
Following his victory, stars across the wrestling world have come out to heap praise and congratulations on Zayn. Chief among those was Kevin Owens.
Owens and Zayn have a storied history together over their time in WWE, and even well before that. They established themselves in the wrestling industry at the same time and have been both rivals and partners at various stages over their years as wrestlers.
After Zayn secured the win, Owens posted a heartwarming message to congratulate his longtime friend.
“I’ve missed a lot of things I wish I hadn’t in the last 15 months because of this injury, but today is, by far, the one I wish I had been there for the most,” Owens wrote on X.
“He has brought out the best in me as both an ally and a foe. That’s because he is THE best. When you’re consistently that good for that long, you become undeniable. Sami becoming WWE Champion was inevitable. He has deserved that moment for a very long time, and I am so happy to see him finally get it.”
Owens has been out of action since April 2025 as he recovers from a neck injury and the subsequent surgery, but to see his friend win the world title has clearly given him a great deal of happiness and cause to rejoice.
Owens is not the only one who took to social media to show their support and love for Zayn. Becky Lynch wrote: “I was crying tears of joy then, and I’m crying tears of joy now! So well deserved! Congratulations Sami Zayn!”
Matthew Rehwoldt wrote: “Underdog from the underground… now on top of the world. Congrats champ. Sami Zayn Forever”
On the Night of Champions post-show, Big E, a former WWE Champion himself, weighed in on El Generico’s victory and rise to the top.
Every Grand Slam Champion in WWE History [Ranked]
There are a strict set of rules that need to be met to be deemed a WWE Grand Slam champion.
“Sami’s overcome a lot of nevers. When I was in the locker room for the longest time, we knew who El Generico was, we knew about his work on the indies, but there was always, ‘He’s not the WWE mould. He’ll never be signed here.’
”He finally comes to WWE: ‘Okay, he’s a good hand. He can put on these great matches in the mid-card, but he’ll never be World Champion.’
”He broke through that glass ceiling that he was butting his head up against for all these years so many times to finally become WWE Champion.”
The overarching theme of Zayn’s victory and the praise he has received, is how much of an underdog story it is. He entered at the bottom where most didn’t give him a chance and came out on top. The eloquent, heartfelt messages he has received, with Kevin Owens’ standing out, highlight the indelible mark he has made on the industry and why he is a well-deserved champion.
Plenty of names were thrown into the conversation about who is the best player in the world heading into the 2026 World Cup, with several of the usual stars catching the eye and forcing their way into discussions.
Performances from the usual suspects in the group stage from players like Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Vinicius Junior have the debate among pundits as alive as ever over who is truly setting the tournament apart.
One man who certainly isn’t shying away from giving his verdict is former Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and he has been left in no doubt after watching a teenager over the course of the last few years.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic Believes Lamine Yamal is the Best
That player is Lamine Yamal, who wasted little time announcing himself on the biggest stage. The Barcelona winger needed just 10 minutes to open the scoring in Spain’s 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia, becoming the eighth-youngest player to score at a World Cup.
Having already dealt with fitness concerns heading into the tournament and only managing 19 minutes in Spain’s 0-0 draw with Cape Verde, Yamal’s 45-minute display against the Saudis was enough to convince Ibrahimovic that he’s watching the best player on the planet.
“I believe he’s the best player in the world; he’s a special player for special moments.”
Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi’s Statistics After 100 Barcelona Games Compared
Yamal has now played 100 times for Barcelona – but has he achieved more than Messi after his first century of matches?
Why Zlatan Rates Lamine Yamal So Highly
Ibrahimovic, never shy about sharing strong opinions, be that as a player or a pundit, explained exactly what sets Yamal apart from his rivals in this conversation, right before his opener in his first World Cup start.
“If they can get him on the ball, he challenges every time he gets the ball, it doesn’t matter if he has one, two, three in front of him, he will challenge, he will create, and that is what Spain needs. That’s what they missed in the first game.”
It’s not the first time the Swede has gone out of his way to praise the teenager, either. Before the tournament, Ibrahimovic had already flagged Yamal as the player he was most desperate to watch.

After successfully qualifying for two consecutive European Championships and the 2026 World Cup, Steve Clarke has called it a day at the helm of Scotland, after seven years in charge.
It’s been one of Scotland’s most successful periods. After not qualifying for a major tournament since 1998, some memorable moments have taken place during his time, none more so than the 4-2 win over Denmark, which booked their place at this year’s World Cup.
But there was another moment of apparent victory against a bitter rival that Clarke highlighted in his lengthy resignation letter, which the official X account of the Scottish national team have released, that has everyone talking, and not necessarily for positive reasons.
What Steve Clarke Said About England
It hasn’t been the first time he’s been under fire for his comments lately. In the wake of Scotland’s 3-0 defeat to Brazil, which ultimately led to their elimination from the World Cup, Clarke was accused of being “disrespectful to his players” after an interview at full time.

Scotland boss Steve Clarke’s post-match interview after losing 3-0 to Brazil has not gone down well
Among the highlights Clarke chose to reflect on from his seven years in charge was Scotland’s 0-0 draw with England at Wembley during Euro 2020, a result he referenced as one of the standout moments of his reign.
“There was an unforgettable night at Wembley when we more than matched the eventual beaten finalists England and held them to a 0-0 win!”
For many supporters, holding the Auld Enemy to a goalless draw four years ago doesn’t quite carry the same weight as some of Scotland’s other achievements, and the inclusion of that line in such an emotional farewell letter has seen Clarke come in for a large amount of criticism.
Read Steve Clarke’s full resignation letter below:
Fans React to Steve Clarke’s Departure on X
One fan wrote: “Sums it up. Celebrating a 0-0 draw against England at the euros. Embarrassing. Good riddance.”
Another added: “What an embarrassment, thank god he’s resigned.”

A third questioned how the comment made it into an official statement at all, asking: “How has that gone out on official team channels.”
Others were equally scathing. One supporter posted: “Sums up why he had to go and everything that was wrong with his tenure,” while another called it a “terrible statement by the arrogant person he is.” One fan summed up the disbelief, simply admitting: “Had to check this was the official account and not a parody.”
