9. Super Bowl XV-Oakland Raiders 27, Philadelphia Eagles 10

Ron Jaworski is now best known as an ESPN analyst who watches film religiously, apparently (and tongue-in-cheekly) without enough hours in the day to do so. So younger fans may not even realize he played in the NFL as a quarterback for a long time, let alone played in a Super Bowl with the Eagles in the middle of his career. The Raiders were clearly the better team in New Orleans on Jan. 25, 1981 though, jumping out a 14-0 lead by the end of the first quarter and never looking back.

Raiders linebacker Rod Martin intercepted Jaworski a single-game Super Bowl record (for an individual) three times in the game, and quarterback Jim Plunkett threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns on his way to earning MVP honors.

Plunkett holds the unique distinction of being the only currently eligible quarterback to start and win multiple Super Bowls but not have a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Super Bowl XV win over the Eagles was the first of those two wins on the NFL’s biggest stage, but other than that the second of what have been many Super Bowls in the Superdome stands out as a real downer.
