Let’s face it: as time passes, not every Super Bowl champion is remembered the same way. In the moment, becoming champion feels incredible, but when the memory of that Super Bowl victory is placed alongside all the others, its enduring legacy may not be as strongly remembered by the general NFL fan.
I know Super Bowl III might be a more important game, but for me, the strongest legacy seems to be the 1985 Bears. When they’re talked about, even to this day, they seem almost mythical. For them to achieve such a grand status, even over the perfect 1972 Dolphins, says a lot.
As for least remembered, the 1970 Colts are at or near the top of that list, primarily due to how sloppy Super Bowl V was and how the Colts players themselves still claim that not even winning it was enough to erase the disappointment of Super Bowl III. Another strong candidate might be the 1991 Redacteds; they were a dominant team, but they’re often forgotten because they had no “legacy” moment and just seemed so “boring.”
