The Super Bowl pits the NFL's two best teams, but some matchups are more lopsided than others. We've seen undefeated juggernauts, record-setting offenses, and burgeoning dynasties fall to backup quarterbacks, double-digit underdogs, and habitual Super Bowl losers. Of the 60 Super Bowls since 1967, we ranked the 10 biggest upsets using pregame spread, margin of victory, and cultural impact.
1. Giants over Patriots, SB XLII: The 2007 Patriots, led by Tom Brady and Randy Moss, finished 16-0 but lost to the Giants. Eli Manning's pass to David Tyree's helmet and the game-winning toss to Plaxico Burress ended New England's perfect season.
2. Patriots over Rams, SB XXXVI: The Patriots, as 14-point underdogs, beat the "Greatest Show on Turf" Rams 20-17, launching a dynasty. This game marked the start of New England's dominance.
Other notable upsets include the Jets over Colts in SB III and the Eagles over Patriots in SB LII, among others.
