The Super Bowl hasn’t always been so super. In fact, throughout the ‘80s and into the first half of the ‘90s many of the games were blowouts the likes of which are rarely seen during the regular season.

We’ve had better luck with Super Bowls lately, and this year’s match-up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers is about as even as can be.

So maybe Sunday’s game will end up being a classic. But for now we can count down the five best Super Bowls ever played.

The games lived up to the hype. Well, actually both games looked as if they were going to be blowouts, but both the Bears and Jets rallied in the second-half, after falling behind early, to make the championship games at least watchable. But in the end, it was the Packers and the Steelers who earned the right to play in the Superbowl in two weeks.
