What Do You Know About The Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is now known as essentially the ultimate sporting event in the world. Super bowl trivia will show that it was created as a championship game between the two professional football leagues in the US when they finally merged the rival leagues. The original football leagues were the NFL (National Football League) and the AFL (American Football League). The two leagues had to constantly battle for viewers, supporters, and overall personnel, in an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of both teams. Finally, the decision was made to merge into the NFL in 1966. The new league would still be called the NFL, and a Super Bowl quiz will show that the first game was played in 1967.

The game was originally a championship game between the two leagues. The merger wasn’t fully completed until the seventies and each previous league became one conference in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers were the most dominant team in the early years of the merger, and would win the first two super bowls. No one was sure if an AFL team was going to be able to compete against the more established NFL teams, but the third Super Bowl would see an AFL team, the New York Jets, take home the ultimate prize.

Although Super Bowl trivia will show that the date of the game has changed several times over the years, the game is now scheduled for the first Sunday in February. This is known as Super Bowl Sunday, and is practically a holiday in the US. The actual Super Bowl game ranks as the most watched television show of the year in most years.

A Super Bowl quiz will show that the trophy which is won by the team who wins the Super Bowl is known as the Vince Lombardi trophy. Vince Lombardi was the coach of the dominant Green Bay Packers during the early days of the Super Bowl, and most would argue the most well known coach of all time in the NFL.

The NFL, and Super Bowl wins, has been dominated in turns by a few of the more legendary franchises in the history of the NFL and many teams have yet to win one. After the Packers, the Steelers, the 49ers, the Cowboys, and the Patriots have all enjoyed dominant years. There are five teams that haven’t even made it to a Super Bowl and are still playing, the Browns, Texans, Jaguars, the Lions, and the Saints.
