The Giants took a 9-0 lead, fell behind 9-17 and came back to win, 21-17. How many teams have given up 17 unanswered points in the Super Bowl and still won?
1967: The Packers took it from 14-10 at halftime to 35-10 with a 21-0 second half.
1968: The Packers went from 13-7 in the second quarter to 33-7 before giving up a late score to the Raiders, 33-14.
1974: The Dolphins pounded their way to a 24-0 lead before giving up a late score to the Vikings 24-7.
1977: The Raiders had a 19-0 third quarter lead before the Vikings scored. 32-14.
1982: The 49ers had a 20-0 first half before holding on to beat the Bengals 26-21.
1983: The Redskins scored the last 17 points in a 27-17 win over the Dolphins.
1984: The Raiders did the same in beating the Redskins 38-9.
1985: The 49ers had a 21-0 run in the second quarter that took out the Dolphins, 38-16.
1986: After New England took a 3-0 lad, the Bears crushed them with 44 unanswered points to win 46-10.
1987: The Giants used a 26 point run to erase a 7-10 deficit and beat the Broncos 39-20.
1988: The Broncos won the first quarter 10-0. The Redskins won the second quarter 35-0 and the game 42-10.
1990: In the most one-sided of all Super Bowls, the bets the 49ers could manage is a 35 point run vs. the Broncos, 55-10.
1992: The Redskins scored the first 24 points of a 37-24 win over the Bills.
1993: The Cowboys became the first team to have two runs of 17 or more in the Super Bowl, going form 14-10 to 31-10 and 31-17 to the 52-17 final.
1994: The Bills looked like they were going to gain revenge and finally win the Super Bowl when they took a 13-6 halftime lead. The Cowboys won the second half 24-0.
1997: The Packers used a 17-0 second period to beat the Patriots, 35-21.
1999: The Broncos gave up and opening field goal and then took a 17-3 lead and actually pushed it to 31-6 before the Falcons rallied a bit to make it respectable.
2000: Everybody remembers the classic final play of this game but the Rams had a 16-0 lead before falling behind 16-17 and then got a 73 yard pass to Isaac Bruce to win it. So they gave up 17 unanswered and won.
2001: Ravens 17-0, then the Giants score and the Ravens get another 17 in a row. 34-7.
2002: Again everybody remembers the ending but they don’t remember what led up to it. The Rams kicked a field goal, then the Pats scored 17 unanswered. The Rams scored two fourth quarter TDs before the final drive and the first of those Vinateri field goals. We still haven’t had an overtime Super Bowl.
2003: Again, the eventual losers opened with a field goal. Then the Bucs scored 34 straight to make it 34-3. The Raiders came back with three unanswered touchdowns but tried for two and failed after each one. The Bucs won and became the second team to give up 17 points in a row and win a Super Bowl.
2010: The Saints got the last 18 in beating the Colts 31-17.
2012: The Giants jump to a 9-0 lead, fall behind 9-17 but win 21-17. The third team to give up 17 in a row and still win the Super Bowl.
