Super Bowl History
When did the NFL Championship become the Super Bowl?
While the first official NFL Championship game took place in 1933, the first Super Bowl didn’t occur until 1967. At the time, however, Super Bowl I was originally dubbed “The AFL-NFL World Championship Game”.
The First Super Bowl
Super Bowl I saw a Dick Lombardi-led Green Bay Packers squad face off against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lombardi’s Packers won that game 35-10, and went on to repeat as champions in 1968 with a 33-14 victory over the AFL’s Oakland Raiders.

Players to have won multiple Super Bowl MVPs
In the 54 years of the Super Bowl era, only five players have won multiple Super Bowl MVP awards.
Bart Starr was the first as he won back-to-back Super Bowl MVPs as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback in Super Bowl I & II.
It took 1 years for another player to win multiple Super Bowl MVPs when Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw went back-to-back in Super Bowl XIII & XIV.
Joe Montana became the first three-time winner of the award as the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XVI, XIX & XXIV.
The two remaining players on this list are forever intertwined as Eli Manning won the award in XLII & XLVI, making him the fifth player to win multiple Super Bowl MVPs, while both came against the fourth man on the list.
That leaves the only player to have ever won four Super Bowl MVPs: Tom Brady. Brady was named MVP in Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX & LI.
Has a losing player ever won the Super Bowl MVP award?
Yes. It’s happened only once in forty-three years, but a player has won the Super Bowl MVP award despite being on the losing team. Back in Super Bowl V, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley won the award even though the Baltimore Colts walked away with the Lombardi trophy. He also became the first defensive player and first linebacker to win the award. In fact, it took thirty years for another linebacker, Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens, to win the award.
Have there ever been Co-MVPs named in a Super Bowl?
Yes. It’s only happened once, when Dallas Cowboys defensive linemen Randy White and Harvey Martin were named Co-MVPs in Super Bowl XII.
How many quarterbacks have been named Super Bowl MVP?
After Patrick Mahomes earned the award following Super Bowl 54, 22 quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl MVP award, with Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Eli Manning, and Tom Brady accounting for thirteen combined MVPs. The remaining quarterbacks include: Joe Namath, Len Dawson, Roger Staubach, Jim Plunkett, Phil Simms, Doug Williams, Mark Rypien, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, John Elway, Kurt Warner, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco and Nick Foles.
How many non-QBs have been named Super Bowl MVP?
24 players have been named Super Bowl MVP from a position other than quarterback:
- Corner Back: Larry Brown
- Defensive End: Harvey Martin (Co-MVP), Richard Dent
- Defensive Tackle: Randy White (Co-MVP)
- Linebackers: Chuck Howley, Ray Lewis, Malcolm Smith, Von Miller
- Running Backs: Larry Csonka, Franco Harris, John Riggins, Marcus Allen, Ottis Anderson, Emmitt Smith, Terrell Davis
- Safeties: Jake Scott, Dexter Jackson
- Wide Receivers: Lynn Swann, Fred Biletnikoff, Jerry Rice, Deion Branch, Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Julian Edelman
How much money does the Super Bowl winner get?
Chiefs players earned $124,000 each for the Super Bowl 54 win, while 49ers players on the losing side netted $62,000 each. Interestingly enough, Super Bowl losers earn less money than NFL players who find themselves on the winning side of the Pro Bowl ($70,000).
How much do Super Bowl rings cost?
The cost of a Super Bowl ring is traditionally not released, however estimates for recent Super Bowl rings come in around $37,000. The NFL usually foots the bill for roughly 150 rings, which are given to players, coaches, executives, and other people the winning organization deems worthy.

Longest Preseason Odds to Win the Super Bowl
Super Bowl XXXIV St. Louis Rams (+15000)
This game marked the beginning of “The Greatest Show on Turf”, but not before a franchise-changing injury. Dick Vermeil lost QB Trent Green and turned to Kurt Warner, who had previously played in the Arena Football League and NFL Europe. What came next was the Rams’ first and only Super Bowl win while located in St. Louis and a great stretch of superb football from Warner.
Super Bowl LII Philadelphia Eagles (+6000)
The Eagles’ first-ever Super Bowl victory marked the team’s first NFL Championship since 1960. The fact that the Eagles were able to get revenge over Brady and Belichick thirteen years after their hopes were thwarted in Super Bowl XXXIX made the win all the more sweeter. The Eagles embraced their role as underdogs following the loss of QB Carson Wentz in a regular season game the LA Rams, riding the hot play of Nick Foles to the promised land.
Super Bowl XXXVI New England Patriots (+6000)
This was the beginning of one of the greatest dynasties in the history of professional sports. A Drew Bledsoe injury led to future Hall of Famer Tom Brady taking over as the team’s starting quarterback, a position he would never relinquish when healthy. Sure, the Patriots’ win over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Divisional round brought the “Tuck Rule” to the forefront of NFL discussions, but Brady and head coach Bill Belichick capped off an improbable run in a 20-17 Super Bowl XXXVI win over the St. Louis Rams.
Super Bowl XVI San Francisco 49ers (+5000)
The 49ers’ 26-21 win over Cincinnati was a bit of an afterthought from San Francisco’s Super Bowl run. The highlight of their postseason, one that lives in the annals of NFL history, was “The Catch” made by Dwight Clark on a back-of-the-endzone toss from Joe Montana in the NFC Championship game.
Super Bowl XVII Washington Redskins (+3500)
The 1982 NFL strike lasted just over three months and forced an abbreviated schedule that saw the regular season shortened from 16 games per team to nine. The league adopted a 16-team playoff format with NFC and AFC teams each garnering eight qualifiers and seeded by regular season record. At 8-1, the Redskins were the #1 seed in the NFC and rode that momentum to a convincing win over the Miami Dolphins in their first ever Super Bowl victory.
Super Bowl XV Oakland Raiders (+3500)
Fresh off an off-season trade of QB Ken Stabler to the Oilers, the Raiders limped to a 2-3 start to the season when Jim Plunkett replaced injured starter Dan Pastorini. Plunkett led the team on an incredible 13-2 stretch to end the season, culminating in a Super Bowl XV win over the favored Philadelphia Eagles.
Super Bowl XLII New York Giants (+3000)
The undefeated New England Patriots entered Super Bowl XLII with history on the line. All that stood between them and the second undefeated season in NFL history was the New York Giants led by QB Eli Manning. An amazing David Tyree helmet catch stands out from this game as the Giants won 17-14.

Cost of a 30-second Super Bowl Ad
The while the cost of a 30-second Super Bowl ad remained around $2.7 million from 2002-2010, the cost has increased exponentially over the past nine years. The 175% increase from $3m in 2011 to $5.25m in 2019 is hard to ignore. As recently as 2018, both Anheuser-Busch InBev and Fiat Chrysler spent roughly $42m each in Super Bowl advertising, while Toyota, Amazon, and Procter & Gamble combined for another $78m in advertising.
Super Bowl Halftime
How much do artist get paid to perform at halftime of the Super Bowl?
