The difference between the lowest and the highest scores in Super Bowl history is big. Let's look at how big and when these games were played..
Throughout the 55 Super Bowl games since the championship started in 1967 there have been all kinds of matches. Epic ones such as the Patriots vs Falcons in 2017 that ended with Tom Brady leading a victory in overtime or the Steelers vs Cowboys in 1979 that confirmed the dynasty of the Pittsburgh team and its Steel Curtain. And there have been games with little emotion like the Seahawks vs Broncos from 2013 that ended up being a blowout for the team from Denver.
The 2021 Super Bowl between the Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs had a score of 31 - 9, with Tom Brady bringing home his 7th championship ring.
