Their have been many notable moments in the super bowl and they are:
The former record for the largest comeback in Super Bowl LI was when New England was down in the first half trailing 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons and forced the game into overtime and the Patriots ran the game winning touchdown by James White for 2 yards even though it looked from an angle it was short, the ball was past the end zone line.
The greatest show on turf was the nickname of the St.Louis Rams in them winning their first title in the Super Bowl Era.
