How well do you know your Super Bowl trivia?



How much do you know about the company Roethlisberger and Warner keep as Super Bowl participants?
The Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers passed a series of tests to reach Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, but can you ace our Super Bowl quiz?

With plenty of days between the conference championship games and the showdown in Tampa, we all have more than enough time to soak in the stories involved in this year's Super Bowl. The Cardinals overcame a suspect defense and rallied behind their veteran quarterback. The Steelers came together behind their young coach and employed a stifling defense. You know it all.

But just how long has it been since a team with a defense that allowed 50 points in one game made it to the Super Bowl? And what kind of company would Mike Tomlin join if he won a title so early in his coaching career?

Show how much you know by acing our quiz.
  • 1) Kurt Warner holds the Super Bowl record for most passing yards in a game, with 414 against the Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. Who has the second-most?
  • 2) Against which team did Jerry Rice set a Super Bowl record with 215 receiving yards?
  • 3) The Cardinals allowed 26.6 points per game during the regular season, most by any team to appear in a Super Bowl. Who previously held the mark for most points-per-game allowed among Super Bowl participants?
  • 4) The Steelers finished the regular season having allowed the fewest yards per game in the NFL. Who was the last team to lead the NFL in defense to play in the Super Bowl?
