First Score in Super Bowl History
Super Bowl I: The Inaugural Points
In the first-ever Super Bowl, held on January 15, 1967, the Green Bay Packers faced the Kansas City Chiefs. The game's initial points were scored by the Chiefs' kicker, Mike Mercer, who successfully made a field goal in the first quarter, giving Kansas City an early lead.
Notable First Scores in Subsequent Super Bowls
- Super Bowl XXII (1988): Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway connected with wide receiver Ricky Nattiel for a 56-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage, marking one of the quickest opening scores in Super Bowl history.
- Super Bowl XLVIII (2014): The Seattle Seahawks scored a safety against the Denver Broncos just 12 seconds into the game, setting a record for the fastest score in Super Bowl history.
Impact of the First Score
The initial score in a Super Bowl can set the tone for the rest of the game. Teams that capitalize early often gain momentum, but it's not always indicative of the final outcome. Each Super Bowl brings its unique narrative, with the first score being just the beginning of the unfolding drama.
