The Super Bowl is almost upon us. The road to kickoff at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco on February 8 is underway, and the battle between the Seahawks and Patriots will be the nonstop talk of the sports world until then. The Patriots took care of the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game before the Seahawks edged the Rams in the NFC Championship to set up this battle. But what is the most common final score in Super Bowl history? And will we see a repeat of it in Super Bowl LX? Pickswise’s extensive Super Bowl coverage continues with a breakdown of historical Super Bowl scores. Let’s dive in!
Most common final score in Super Bowl history
Both 27-10 and 27-17 are final scores that have occurred twice in the Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys beat the Denver Broncos 27-10 at the end of the 1977 season. Three years later, the Oakland Raiders defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by the exact same margin. In Super Bowl XVII, the Washington Redskins picked up a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Super Bowl XXX saw Dallas knock off the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17.
Most common team scores in Super Bowl history
The most common team score in Super Bowl history is 17. That has happened on 9 occasions, most recently by the New England Patriots in a loss to the New York Giants on February 5, 2012. The Giants’ 17-14 victory over the Patriots 4 years earlier is the only time that 17 has been a winning score.
Right behind are 31 and 10, both of which have been posted 8 times. Twice has 31 been the losing score – first when Dallas lost to Pittsburgh 35-31 in Super Bowl 13 and again when the San Francisco 49ers fell to the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 in Super Bowl 47. Unsurprisingly, 10 has always been a losing score – including in Super Bowl 1, when Kansas City succumbed to the Green Bay Packers 35-10.
