Survey reveals the most memorable Super Bowl winners – Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl I ranks #1
Which Super Bowl win has been remembered the most throughout history? The team at Action Network set out to find out.
By analyzing results from Sporcle’s “NFL Super Bowl Winners” quiz (where over 568,000 participants had 10 minutes to name all 58 champions) they uncovered some surprising trends.
The most memorable Super Bowl wins were unsurprisingly Super Bowls I and II, where the Green Bay Packers dominated, with 93.6% and 89.5% of quiz-takers remembering their victories, respectively.
On the flip side, the most forgotten Super Bowl victory belongs to the Raiders‘ Super Bowl XVIII win in 1984, with only 54.6% of participants recalling it.
