The Miami Dolphins were going into Super Bowl VII as the only undefeated team in the NFL; the New England Patriots were trying to accomplish that same feat in Super Bowl XLII just a few days ago but thanks to the New York Giants, it wasn't the case. The Dolphins and the Redskins would meet again ten years later in Super Bowl XVII; this time, it was advantage: Washington.
And Super Bowl XVI between the 49ers and Bengals was the most-watched Super Bowl game of all-time; now it's second behind -- you guessed it -- Super Bowl XLII, which is now the #2 most-watched television program of all-time in between the "M*A*S*H" finale and the "Who Shot J.R.?" episode of "Dallas"!!!
