Worst Super Bowls in history according to ChatGPT

The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event of the year, and because it features the two best teams in the NFL, the entertainment value is usually at an all-time high, and the game’s competitiveness is often unmatched. There have been tons of iconic Super Bowl moments and great Super Bowl games throughout the 58 iterations of the NFL’s championship game (during the Super Bowl era). However, when it comes to football, not every game is a thriller. We asked ChatGPT to rank the worst Super Bowls in history, so check out the gallery to see what artificial intelligence had to say.

1. Super Bowl XXIV (1990) – San Francisco 49ers vs. Denver Broncos

ChatGPT reasoning:

• Why It Was Bad: This was one of the most lopsided Super Bowls ever. The 49ers completely dominated from the start, with Joe Montana throwing for five touchdowns and leading the 49ers to an embarrassing 45-point win. The Broncos were overmatched in nearly every phase of the game. The Broncos’ defense couldn’t stop the 49ers’ offensive attack, and quarterback John Elway was sacked five times.
• Why It’s Remembered as Bad: The game wasn’t competitive at all, leaving fans bored and disappointed. It was over almost immediately, and there was no drama or suspense, which is what you expect in a Super Bowl.

ClutchPoints analysis: It should come as little surprise that the biggest Super Bowl blowout ever ranks as the worst game in Super Bowl history. The Denver Broncos lost their fourth Super Bowl out of four attempts during Super Bowl XXIV. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers won their fourth championship, which was tied for the most in the NFL at the time. This game was completely one-sided, and it was never very entertaining.

The 49ers won 55-10, which gave them records that still stand for Super Bowl touchdowns (eight), Super Bowl margin of victory (45 points), and Super Bowl points scored by a team (55). San Francisco dominated throughout. They nearly doubled Denver’s time of possession (38:31 to 20:29), and they had almost triple the amount of total yardage (461 to 167).

This game is a big reason why Joe Montana and Jerry Rice rank among the best players in Super Bowl history, but this game was far from a nail-biter.

2. Super Bowl XLVIII (2014) – Seattle Seahawks vs. Denver Broncos

ChatGPT reasoning:

• Why It Was Bad: This one was over before it even started. The Seahawks’ defense, known as the “Legion of Boom,” completely shut down the Broncos’ high-powered offense. Peyton Manning, the greatest regular-season QB of all time, looked completely out of sync, throwing two interceptions and getting pressured relentlessly. The Broncos’ first snap of the game went over Manning’s head, resulting in a safety, setting the tone for the entire game.
• Why It’s Remembered as Bad: While the Seahawks’ defense played one of the best Super Bowl performances ever, the Broncos were awful. A Peyton Manning-led team scoring just 8 points is almost...
