The Super Bowl swingometer

Well, that was an interesting Super Bowl. Did you think it reached the lofty heights of last year’s game? Much was made of that one, during which Atlanta led by 25 points but were defeated in overtime by New England. That was indeed the first time that a team failed to win a Super Bowl after leading it by greater than ten points.

But how much have Super Bowl games really swung? Here are the results of each Super Bowl, along with the largest lead by each team, the quarter and time remaining when those leads occurred, and the number of points swung between those leads. If a team led by the same number of points more than once, the latest occurrence is shown.
