During the first Super Bowl in 1967, NBC was still showing commercials when the second half kicked off. The officials asked the Packers to kick off again.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Max McGee didn't expect to play in the first Super Bowl in 1967. He showed up hungover and without his helmet. He ended up making a one-handed catch to score the game's first touchdown.
Four NFL teams have not played in a Super Bowl: Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texas and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Super Bowl LVIII, during which Kansas City Chiefs defeated San Francisco 49ers 25-22 on February 11, 2024 was the most-watched American television program since the Moon landing. An average 123.4 million viewers across all platforms watched it, breaking the Super Bowl average record of 115.1 million viewers set in 2023.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history with six victories. (Pittsburgh lost the Super Bowl twice —to the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV, and to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX.)
Two franchises have lost five Super Bowls: Buffalo Bills (0-4), Minnesota Vikings (0-4), Denver Broncos (3-5) and New England Patriots (5-5).
The Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders and Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts are the only franchises to win Super Bowls representing different cities.
Nineteen of the first 50 Super Bowls were decided by seven points or fewer.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy, the trophy awarded each year to the Super Bowl winner, is named in honor of NFL coach Vince Lombardi, who led the Green Bay Packers to victories in the first two Super Bowl games.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy stands 20 3/4 inches tall, weighs 6.7 pounds and is valued more than $25,000. It is made of sterling silver by Tiffany & Company.
The reason why businesses refer to the Super Bowl in their advertisements as "The Big Game" is because the NFL owns the trademark to the phrase "Super Bowl" and will severely crack down on any business that uses those words without officially licensing it from the NFL.

According to the American Institute of Food Distribution, Super Bowl Sunday ranks behind only Thanksgiving Day for the day with the highest food consumption in the United States.
Americans will hold more parties in their homes on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year.
During Super Bowl halftime, there are an estimated 90 million toilet flushes. That’s equivalent to 180 million gallons of water flowing at once, or 3.5 minutes of flowing water on the Niagara Falls.
In 1992 Fox's sketch comedy show In Living Color drew away 22% of Super Bowl XXVI’s viewers during its halftime show by doing a special live episode of their own. This is why subsequent Super Bowls got A-List performers (starting with Michael Jackson in 1993) and dropped the previous themed marching band format.
Michael Jackson's 1993 Super Bowl performance marked the first time network ratings went up during halftime.
A cow has only a 1 in 17,420,000 chance of becoming an NFL football that is used in the Super Bowl.
