Quick, when was the last time a Superbowl was played with BOTH teams making their first appearance?
jjc@houxa.UUCP (J.CARBONARO) (01/13/86)
I THINK it's true that in the 19 previous Superbowls, only 3 were played between teams that were BOTH new to the big game - and that INCLUDES the obvious, Superbowl I. I think the only others were SB3 (Colts/Jets) and SB16 (49ers/Bengals). It's odd that really early SBs, like SB4 right up through SB15 had at least one "veteran" team. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

You're right! I have a complete list of the participants in the Super Bowls and you are correct about two new teams into the Super Bowls. Robert A. Ekblaw
