series<\/a> 6-4.<\/p>\nHere’s how previous seasons’ Super Bowl rematches went:<\/p>\n
The Falcons memorably led 28-3 at halftime, but failed to win the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n
Months after completing the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, the Tom Brady-led Patriots handed the Matt Ryan-led Falcons a 23-7 loss in Week 7 of the 2017 season.<\/p>\n
After finishing the regular season with a 15-1 record, the Panthers entered the 50th edition of the NFL’s biggest game with MVP Cam Newton at the center of the league’s best offense. Meanwhile, Denver boasted top defense and Hall of Fame signal-caller Peyton Manning. The game, which featured 12 sacks and six turnovers, went the Broncos’ way, but it wasn’t long before the two teams met again.<\/p>\n
Denver hosted the rematch to open the following season. Although it was a much more competitive contest, the same team emerged victorious, as Graham Gano missed a potential game-winning 50-yard field goal to give the Broncos a 21-20 victory.<\/p>\n\nAt the time of his retirement, Peyton Manning, at age 39, was the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.

Seattle entered as the underdog, but quickly proved that label incorrect. The Seahawks took a 22-0 lead into halftime and led by as many as 36 points, the largest shutout lead in Super Bowl history, before Denver scored its only touchdown.<\/p>\n
Their next meeting in Week 3 couldn’t be decided in regulation as Manning’s team scored 17 points on a fourth-quarter rally to force overtime. Unfortunately for Denver, Russell Wilson led an 80-yard drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown run on the first possession to secure a 26-20 overtime victory.<\/p>\n
Green Bay set six player records to earn its first Super Bowl victory in 29 years. Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman’s 81-yard touchdown run was the longest pass and reception in eight-year Super Bowl history and still ranks second in the record books. Most notably, Desmond Howard’s 99-yard kickoff return was the longest Super Bowl play in 14 years. It is currently the third longest game in gaming history.<\/p>\n
The Patriots hosted the Week 9 rematch in Pete Carroll’s first season as head coach, but the home field did not prove to be a great advantage. The Packers shut them out in all but one quarter and cruised to a 28-10 victory.<\/p>\n\nDesmond Howard’s 244 total return yards helped him earn Super Bowl MVP honors.

In the 1990s, Buffalo became the second team to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls. Unfortunately for the Bills, they didn’t have an answer for Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, so they also became the first team to lose all three. Dallas did most of its damage by scoring a Super Bowl-record 35 points off nine Buffalo turnovers.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys held the Week 2 rematch without Smith and saw their home opener spoiled, losing 13-10.<\/p>\n
In a rematch of Super Bowl The Steelers won 35-31 and became the first franchise to win three Super Bowls.<\/p>\n
After dominating the 1970s with a combined six Super Bowl appearances, the two teams had their final meeting of the decade in Week 9 of the 1979 season. It was a low-scoring affair as Pittsburgh kept Dallas from reaching the end zone in its 14-3 victory.<\/p>\n\nSuper Bowl XIII was the fifth and final Super Bowl played at the Miami Orange Bowl.

Decades before becoming the Las Vegas Raiders, the team dominated the “Purple People Eaters” defense to win the franchise’s first Super Bowl. The Raiders defense forced three turnovers, with two interceptions in the fourth quarter \u2013 including cornerback Willie Brown’s 75-yard pick-six.<\/p>\n
The rematch was played at the Raiders’ home stadium, the Oakland Coliseum, in Week 13 of the 1977 season. It ended almost identically with the Raiders winning 35\u201313.<\/p>\n
Rainy weather conditions of the final championship showdown before the AFL-NFL merger meant the game was played on the field. Kansas City dominated, outscoring Minnesota in rushing yards 151-61. The Chiefs defense played its part, forcing three interceptions and recovering two fumbles.<\/p>\n
The Vikings started the 1970 season with a vengeance, defeating the Chiefs 27-10 in the Week 1 rematch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
