[edit]The records, especially career records, require minimum cutoffs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.50.94.2 (talk) 15:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Is there a more complete list of Superbowl records on the net? I can't find one that is anywhere near complete.74.108.86.3 07:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Trivia
[edit]This information is trivia. They can be included in their particular Super Bowl pages. Record pages are merely lists of statistics. See List of National Football League records (team) and List of National Football League records (individual). KyuuA4 05:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Miscellaneous
[edit]- Ben Roethlisberger, starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was the youngest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl at 23 years of age (XL). The record was previously held by Dan Marino at 23 years, 11 months. He is also the youngest to win the Super Bowl, Tom Brady was previously the youngest.
- Lawrence McCutcheon, running back on the then-L.A. Rams, became the first non-quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl (XIV).
- Actually, Robert Newhouse was the first, throwing a 29-yard touchdown pass to Golden Richards for the Dallas Cowboys last touchdown in Super Bowl XII.RomeoMike (talk) 01:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Antwaan Randle El, wide receiver formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is the first wide receiver to throw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl (XL).
- Hines Ward, wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was born in South Korea, he also joins Mark Rypien (Canada) as the only Super Bowl MVPs born outside of the United States.
- Chuck Howley, LB from the Dallas Cowboys is the only player from a losing team to be honored as MVP. (V).
- Devin Hester, CB from the Chicago Bears is the only player to return the opening kickoff in a Super Bowl for a touchdown. (XLI).
- Jon Gruden, head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was the youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl. (XXXVII).
- Darnell Dockett is tied with Reggie White with 3 sacks in a Superbowl. (XLIII). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raiderbarry (talk • contribs) 02:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, was the first African American head coach to coach in a Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl.(XLI). (Lovie Smith, an African American head coach, also coached in that game thus making it the first NFL championship game with two African American head coaches.)
Team Yardage
[edit]Record stats such as Total Yards, Yards Allowed, etc. That's missing from the team categories. KyuuA4 (talk) 07:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Largest Comeback?
[edit]I think the largest Super Bowl comeback should be included in the points section. I don't know what the answer is, but I think it would be appropriate there. Any thoughts? Sorenlarrington (talk) 10:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. Off the top of my head, the Redskins were down 10 before they took over Super Bowl XXII. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 14:08, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- The Redskins game was a blowout in their favor. The largest 4th quarter come-from-behind win was 10 points by the Patriots just a couple of years ago (SB XLIX) -IAN — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.202.184.14 (talk) 15:38, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Common Score
[edit]OK, someone explain Common Score listed under Single_team. And how is it a "record"? KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 14:10, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Best Super Bowl win percentage, 100%
[edit]Either the title of this record or its content should be changed because, as it stands now, there are four teams with a 100% win percentage. We could keep the title as-is and add the Jets, Bucs, and Saints to the record, or change the title to something like "Best Superbowl Win Record" which will only include the Ravens. 69.74.62.21 (talk) 04:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Turnovers
[edit]List_of_Super_Bowl_records#Turnovers. Shouldn't this list also include "Turnover on Downs". Although, that'll be a bit more difficult to sift through. But at least, it's narrowed to 20 games or so. So, if any of the "turnover free" teams actually committed a turn over by failing a 4th down conversion, then they should be excluded. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 10:22, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- No. WP:PROVEIT Turnover on downs is never counted as a turnover for statistics. Using Super Bowl XLVIII as an example, the Seahawks turned over on downs twice in the 4th quarter. The box score for the game lists the number of turnovers for the Seahawks as 0. [1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.113.3 (talk) 04:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Does this add up?
[edit]"Most fumbles, career, 5 Roger Staubach - Dallas 4 games VI, X, XII, XIII Most fumbles, game, 3 Roger Staubach - Dallas vs. Pittsburgh, X"
If he had 3 fumbles in SuperBowl X plus fumbles in VI, XII and XIII, he'd have 6 fumbles overall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.82.64.222 (talk) 12:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes it does. The career listing shows all games Roger played in, and not that he fumbled in each game. A career listing in the article shows all games a person played in-- Look 2 categories down, fumbles recovered. Several players recovered 2 fumbles, but played in 3 or four games. Spparky (talk) 17:03, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Omission
[edit]I know Don_Beebe has played in six SuperBowl games (XXV, XXVI, XXVII and XXVIII with the Buffalo Bills; XXXI and XXXII with the Green Bay Packers). The fact he isn't listed here shows that this list is missing stuff ... which makes we wonder how many other things are wrong/missing that I didn't know before coming to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.186.41.130 (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
- You may know it. I thought it was true also, but the official NFL super bowl record book does not recognize it, see NFL record book http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/history/pdfs/Records/2013/Super_Bowl_Performance.pdf. Please show a valid reference for this to be considered. Thanks Spparky (talk) 15:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Possible non occurrence
[edit]The two teams that faced each other in the NFL Kickoff Game have never faced each other in that seasons Super Bowl. Mobile mundo (talk) 16:08, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Highest completion percentage, both teams, 75% (84–63)
[edit]This doesn't add up. The correct numbers are 82.1 and 68.9. Im not sure how to properly cite.[1]
2604:6000:DD09:AE00:3C34:31CA:9EF7:4BB8 (talk) 15:19, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- The numbers mean 63 completions and 84 attempts. Weird way to show it, but it is consistent that way throughout the whole record list. Spparky (talk) 18:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Longest time span between Super Bowl championships as a player
[edit]Ambiguous wording. If taken literally Brady has a longer span between championships then Ray Lewis: the number of years between Brady's first and last championship is 17 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:AE:0:351D:A874:6D40:5856:DCA1 (talk) 18:29, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
