Top Ten | Most Exciting Super Bowl Match-ups Ever

For those of you who watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and un-intentionally lewd halftime shows, there actually have been some good games thrown in the mix as well. So while you're cozying up with some wings and the biggest TV you can get your hands on this Sunday, think about whether the Eagles v. Pats match-up compares to any of these ...

10. Super Bowl I: Packers 35, Chiefs 10. The Packers dominated an otherwise boring game, but this is the one that started it all.

9. Super Bowl XXXVIII: Patriots 32, Panthers 29. Vinatieri does it again at the final whistle.

8. Super Bowl IX: Steelers 16, Vikings 6. A battle of two great defenses, but the Steel Curtain shut down the Purple People Eaters in the end.

7. Super Bowl XXXIV: Rams 23, Titans 16. The Titans came up just inches short as Kevin Dyson stretched for the goal line in the final seconds.

6. Super Bowl XXXII: Broncos 31, Packers 24. Elway finally gets his Super Bowl ring, but Terrell Davis stole the show with 157 yards and an MVP trophy.

5. Super Bowl XXIII: 49ers 20, Bills 16. Montana threw for 357 yards, and still wasn't the MVP. That honor went to Jerry Rice, who caught 215 of them.

4. Super Bowl XXXVI: Pats 20, Rams 17. Vinatieri and the Pats begin their road to what people are starting to call a dynasty.

3. Super Bowl III: Jets 16, Colts 7. Broadway Joe Namath guarantees victory - and actually comes through. How novel.

2. Super Bowl XXV: Giants 20, Bills 19. Scott Norwood misses the kick heard round the world, inspires character of Ray Finkle in Ace Ventura. It was the first of four years in a row that Buffalo wins the title of "first of all the losers."

1. Super Bowl XXXVIII ... again. Refer to No. 9 for the game itself, but the other score: Janet Jackson's breast: 0, the FCC: a lot.
