...Raiders QB Rich Gannon wears No. 12, as have 11 previous winning starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. No winning QB has worn Bucs counterpart Brad Johnson's No. 14... Ticket prices for Super Bowl I could be had for as little as $6. Thirty-three years later, an Illinois man ate a $100 bill as part of a ticket contest. Now that's inflation... Eight of the top 15 rated television shows of all-time are Super Bowls, as are all of the top 20 sporting events. Super Bowl XVI between the 49ers and Bengals drew a 49.1 rating...
...PITTSBURGH (11-5-1) at TENNESSEE (11-5), 4:30 p.m. ET Realignment took these teams out of the same division, but the Steelers and Titans did meet earlier this season, and it was a game Pittsburgh QB Tommy Maddox would like to forget ... and did. During a woeful, three-interception performance in Tennessee's 31-23 victory, Maddox was knocked out by LB Keith Bullock on a clean hit that forced him to miss a couple of games. Hard hitting again will be the theme of the day, as both teams are physical, methodical and disciplined. Perhaps...
...stretch, when the Falcons lost three out of four to end the season. His counterpart, once known for his improvisation as well, though not as dynamically as Vick, is the incomparable Brett Favre, who finished second in the MVP voting this week in a close race with Raiders QB Rich Gannon. But while all the attention is on the quarterback position, don't discount the disruptive nature of both defenses. The Falcons amassed 47 sacks (4th most in NFL) and finished with a +12 takeaway ratio. The Packers led the league with 45 takeaways...
...only the second time they've met in the playoffs (1/7/95: Pitt. 29, Cle. 9, at Pitt.). The Steelers won both regular-season meetings between these AFC North squads by only three points, yet they're the biggest favorites of the first round, at 7 1/2 points. Browns QB Kelly Holcomb fills in for the injured Tim Couch in the franchise's first playoff appearance since returning to the NFL in 1999. He performed admirably (111.0 rating) in splitting the first two games of the season as a starter, but the Browns' offense now focuses on rookie RB William Green...
...from the clutches of victory and just couldn't do it. Now they're the darlings of the media, who are almost universally predicting an upset of the 49ers, a team that's been locked in as the No. 4 seed for a couple of lackluster weeks now. Giants QB Kerry Collins and WR Amani Toomer may not be headed to the Pro Bowl like San Fran's Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens, but it was only two weeks ago that they went on the road to outshine the Colts' Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison...
