NFL: The 20 Biggest Blowouts in Super Bowl History
Jerry Rice and Joe Montana Led the Biggest Blowout in Super Bowl History
Following the 1989 season, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and the San Francisco 49ers just obliterated John Elway and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV.
Montana threw for 297 yards and five touchdowns. Rice caught three of them along with 148 yards. Meanwhile, the 49ers defense held Denver to just 200 total yards in the 55-10 win.
It’s the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history, and the only one with a more than 40-point margin.
The Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins have each won the Super Bowl by more than 30 points.
Today’s list features the 20 biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history.
It looks like the 1980′s featured the most boring Super Bowls – seven of the 20 drubbings come from that decade.
