Detroit shone in the NFL spotlight when it hosted Super Bowl XL 15 years ago, on Feb. 5, 2006. Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the 15th Super Bowl since that ’06 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks. Here’s a look at the 14 Super Bowls in between.

XLI: Colts 29, Bears 17

Fast facts: Feb. 4, 2007; Dolphin Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida.

MVP: Colts QB Peyton Manning.

The game: Manning passed for 247 yards, a touchdown and an interception, but the run game was the backbone of the attack, with a combined 190 yards rushing from Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai.
