Ranking every Super Bowl, 56-1: Bengals-Rams cracks top 20, Patriots play in best games, plus more classics
CBSN
The bar has been set high throughout the years; hopefully the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona will live up to it
The Kansas City Chiefs came back to the Super Bowl during the pandemic, trying to throw a real wrench in Tom Brady's dynasty plans by creating their own little party in KC. Then Tom Brady showed up with his new team, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Super Bowl and Brady -- at the tender age of 344 -- won his seventh Super Bowl in fairly boring fashion.
One could even argue it was Brady's presence and Brady's age and the sheer dominance of the Bucs over a heretofore unstoppable offense that made this Super Bowl interesting. Because it wasn't the close nature of the game, the ending or anything drama related to the action on the field.
The shell-shock nature of what happened created the drama and the talking points. Also: Patrick Mahomes on the other side led a lot of us to believe "they'll get going eventually" and they never did. This was a tough Super Bowl to watch and an even tougher one to rank.
