"What started as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game in 1967 and officially became known as the Super Bowl two years later has long since carved a permanent place on the calendar as the most unofficial of holidays across America. From Tom Brady and Joe Montana to the Steel Curtain Pittsburgh Steelers, from the Doomsday defense of the Dallas Cowboys to the Team of the 80s 49ers and so much more through the decades"
"Who can still see David Tyree pinning Eli Manning's desperation pass against his helmet to make the impossible catch that led to the winning touchdown as the New York Giants, with a victory in Super Bowl XLII, ended New England's bid to become the NFL's first undefeated team since the 1972 Dolphins? Or the Falcons blowing a 28-3 midway through the third quarter in a 34-28 overtime loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl LI?"
The Super Bowl marks its 60th year, originating as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game in 1967 and adopting the Super Bowl name two years later. The event has become an unofficial national holiday and a repository of football history, featuring legendary teams like the 49ers, Steelers, Cowboys and players such as Tom Brady and Joe Montana. Memorable moments include Montana's game-winning drive in Super Bowl XXIII, Steve Young's six-touchdown performance in XXIX, David Tyree's helmet catch in XLII and the Falcons' 28-3 collapse in LI. The latest edition is set for Levi's Stadium, with regional rankings of top games and performances.
