The 50th Super Bowl will be held February 7th. It’s the final coin toss of the season in a game that decides the best in the NFL. Some major events have marked the last 49 years. Let’s take a look at the highlights.
Super Bowl XLIV, Peyton Manning and the Colts were heavy favourites to take on the New Orleans Saints. In the fourth quarter, on third down, as Manning attempts to keep the Colts alive, he throws an interception for a 74 yard touchdown- delivering the Saints their first ever Super Bowl victory.

Following the Giants’ 1987 Super Bowl triumph over the Broncos, as a sign of respect, Bill Parcells became the first winning coach to receive the Gatorade treatment.
The Bill’s star running back Thurman Thomas was apparently so stoked for the 1992 Super Bowl, that he misplaced his helmet. As result, Thomas missed the first offensive plays for his team.
"King of Pop" Michael Jackson hit new heights at the halftime show. His high-energy performance and use of pyrotechnics set the bar for every halftime performance to
