Unforgettable Dominations: The Super Bowl Blowouts That Left Fans Stunned
Remember when tuning into the Super Bowl often felt like showing up for a nail-biter, but instead getting a glorified practice session? Yeah, there was a stretch—from the mid-80s through the mid-90s—where close contests took a backseat and blowouts became the headline act. Imagine nine out of twelve games during that window decided by 17 points or more—and five of the heaviest thrashings ever logged on the big stage. Yikes. But if you’re like me, you’ve breathed a sigh of relief in recent years as the games have tightened up; 17 of 19 Super Bowls from ’04 through ’22 were nail-biters, decided by 14 points or less. And hey, the legendary comeback led by Brady and the Patriots from that 28-3 hole in Super Bowl LI? That alone changed the way we view “hopeless” moments. Makes you wonder—should we ever lose faith no matter how ugly the scoreboard looks? So before you switch channels during what seems like a total blowout, maybe hang tight. Let’s stroll through the Wild West of Super Bowl blowouts—the truly unforgettable beatdowns that once defined the championship stage.
