Deadspin Ranks All SuperBowls According To "Watchability"
What Was The Best Super Bowl Ever? Ranking All 47 Games According To Watchability
Reuben Fischer-Baum http://deadspin.com/5981692/what-was...ium=socialflow To figure this out, we used an updated version of our watchability rankings, which measured games on quality of play (for viewers) regardless of the narratives coming into the contest. Each game was scored on a 0-100 scale. Here's the new methodology:
The chart above raises another question: Are we living in the golden age of the Super Bowl? Below is a graph of the five-year average for Super Bowl watchability, the combined quality of the game for each year, the two years prior, and the two years post: Sure enough, after a rough period from 1993 to 1997, the Super Bowl has gotten more and more watchable (per our metric). However, since our rankings place Super Bowl XLII (2008) just ahead of this year's game, by our measurement the very best five-year stretch of Super Bowls was 2008-2012. The worst period was 1984-1988, when the Raiders, 49ers, Bears, Giants, and Redskins won in five consecutive blowouts. You can check out detailed results here. Full rankings below:

I only remember one play from that one, and it's Riggins busting a 40 some-odd yard TD run on 4th down. I guess it was late in the game.

If you vaporized the '70s Vikings, '80s Broncos, and '90s Bills (which is not a bad idea come to think of it) there would have been a few more watchable SBs.
