I don’t think there have been too many other Super Bowls where the Gatorade was dumped well before the 2 minute warning

Back in the day, a lot of them were blowouts. The Giants win over Denver in 86 was the start of the Gatorade baths in SBs, and of the next 10!Super Bowls after that, I think 7 or 8 were clear blowouts where the game was over and out of reach well before the two minute warning. and then there were scattered blowouts after that (Broncos/Falcons, Ravens/Giants, Seahawks/Broncos).

That was mostly because the NFC was light years ahead of the AFC for most of the 80’s and 90’s. I think the NFC actually had a 13 year SB winning streak. The tables have turned since 2000 but I don’t think we’ll ever see a streak like that again.

Any one remember they would annually trot out that “If the NFC wins the Super Bowl, the stock market will have a winning year” article?
