SAN FRANCISCO — Every Super Bowl kicks off with the hopes of a thrilling game, capped by a dramatic drive in which the champion seizes control to capture the Lombardi Trophy.
Often, quarterbacks earn their moment in history, from Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana to Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning. Russell Wilson had the Seattle Seahawks in position to do just that last year until that fateful decision to pass instead of hand off to Marshawn Lynch.
Of the first 49 Super Bowls, only 10 featured game-winning points in the final three minutes, though a few others have kept fans watching for more than just the commercials.
