Explore PFR’s Super Bowl Section
Posted by Mike Lynch on January 23, 2015
If you haven't seen the Super Bowl Section of our site yet, you should head over and check it out right now, because we think it's pretty awesome. Here are some of the features you'll find once you get there:
- A table summarizing all 48 games, including the teams, score, MVP, game location, and stadium
- A leaderboard with the best single-game and career performances in Super Bowl history
- All-time Super Bowl standings
- Box scores for every Super Bowl ever
And best of all is the Super Bowl Play Finder tool. It's similar to the Play Index Game Play Finder tool, but limits your searches strictly to Super Bowls and allows you to search through every play of all 48 previous games. Some examples:
- Every Super Bowl pass play of Tom Brady's career
- The longest plays from scrimmage in Seahawks Super Bowl history
- Touchdowns scored on 4th down
- 18 of the 29 4th-and-1 attempts in Super Bowl history have been successful
Our Player Game Finder and Team Game Finder are also unique tools for Super Bowl research. You can use them to find things like every 100-yard rusher in Super Bowl history, the largest point spreads in Super Bowl history or the highest over/unders. You can also identify trends such as the record of the team leading after one quarter (26-11), at halftime (36-10) and through three quarters of play (39-8).
So go ahead and try the Super Bowl Section right now -- it's free, easy to use, and best of all, with it you'll be able to dominate anyone who challenges you in Super Bowl trivia.
UPDATE: We have also added a Super Bowl filter to our Drive Finder, which allows users to find things such as the longest drives in any Super Bowl since 1998 or the fastest Super Bowl touchdown drives since 1998.
Have you thought about doing a statistical comparison of the Patriots or of all teams with regards to the stats pointed out by Warren Sharp recently? A link to a story on that is below. I'd think it'd be relatively easy to produce a comprehensive comparison of all teams' TO rate over time with the resources you have. And.. Free advertising if you get it out in a timely manner.
