As we head into Super Bowl weekend, let’s look back at another Super Bowl played in Tampa: Super Bowl XXV, played 30 years ago.
It’s remembered fondly around this area because the champions actually played their home games in New Jersey; of course, it was the Giants who won the Lombardi Trophy in one of the most famous Super Bowls of all time (although they’re all pretty famous). It’s best known for the way it ended, with a missed last second field goal that would have given the favored Buffalo Bills their first Super Bowl title; unfortunately for Bills’ fans, it sailed wide right.

Joe Montana s QB GOAT case starts here. At the peak of his powers at age 33, the 49ers icon was on his own tier in 1989. His completion percentage (70.2), yards per attempt (9.1) and passer rating (112.4) look confusing when compared to his peers. Apex Jerry Rice (17 TDs), Roger Craig and John Taylor made 1989 the West Coast Offense s masterwork, despite Bill Walsh having retired after the 88 season. The defense ranked third, too. The 49ers went 14-2, losing by five total points, and obliterated the Vikings, Rams and Broncos by a 126-26 margin in the playoffs. George Seifert s debut team may be the NFL s best ever.

The National Football League has become more and more quarterback-focused over the past two decades.
Most of the league’s all-time quarterback marks are held by players from the 2000s, as the relaxing of rules to favour offence and the non-stop evolution of the position have both fed the trend.
Teams consistently invest top draft picks at quarterback, even when players are far from sure bets (EJ Manuel, Josh Rosen) to the point that 23 of 32 NFL teams this past regular season started the year with quarterbacks taken in the first round of the draft.
Gone is a league that once had stars such as Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo and Kurt Warner – none of whom were drafted.
