Well every single one of them came down to the last drive so it’s a tough call. Let’s start with least entertaining:

6. SB39 – If Donovan McNabb had any gas left it might’ve been an interesting last drive, but alas the Eagles have nothing left and he throws a dynasty-sealing pick.

5. SB46 – Just kind of fizzled out, letting Bradshaw score. Still had a final shot at the end zone but this one was decided by the Welker drop and Manningham sideline catch.

4. SB42 – Pats were flat the entire game and Brady was getting killed. Still they took the lead at the end, and the helmet catch then Burress touchdown were the signature plays. Bomb to Moss falls just incomplete as well.

3. SB36 – Obviously one of the greatest Super Bowl upsets of all time and a great ending, but was there really much doubt Vinatieri was going to miss?

2. SB38 – Just an incredible back and forth after a slow start that once again came down to a kick there was no way Vinatieri would miss.

1. SB49 – Maybe this is recency bias, but no other Super Bowl had such an incredible swing from almost certainly losing to a game-stealing play. Back and forth all game. Worthy opponent, unreal finish, this last one was my favorite.
