History of the Super Bowl Completion Record

Over the next week and a half I'll be charting out the progressions of some of the Super Bowl Records. Why? Because we all want to learn.


Hey look it's Bart Starr again setting the initial standard with 16 completions. Unlike his passing record though it was shared with Len Dawson in Super Bowl I and didn't last twelve years. Joe Willy knocked off the record by 1 completion in the Super Bowl III upset.

The next four QBs got the record but not the big W. Fran Tarkenton surpassed the record by 1 completion in his Super Bowl VIII loss. Good ole Jaws tied the record when the Eagles lost in XV. Ken Anderson pushed the record to 25 completions the next year in his Super Bowl XVI loss. Danny Marino threw 29 completions in his Super Bowl XIX loss to Montana. Jim Kelly than took the record in one of his four Super Bowl losses, completing 31 passes in Super Bowl XXVIII.

Finally good Ole Tom Brady got himself a record ten years later when he completed his 32 pass in Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
