[p]On Sunday, February 8th, the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/new-england-patriots/G6oNfmi8/"]New England Patriots[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/seattle-seahawks/f5h1oOee/"]Seattle Seahawks[/a] fought out the ultimate battle in the NFL: the Super Bowl. It was the 60th in the competition’s 106-year history, and it crowned the Seattle Seahawks as champions of the NFL World for the second time in the team's history.[/p][h2]What’s the history of the Super Bowl?[/h2][p]The NFL has been around for longer, however. In 1920, the NFL (then known as the APFA) hosted its inaugural season, but did not have playoffs or a championship game. Instead, the champions were determined by the final standings. This made the Akron Pros the inaugural NFL champions.[/p][p]It wasn’t until 1933 that the NFL was split into two divisions, and a playoff system and a championship game were introduced. The [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/chicago-bears/2clovUM8/"]Chicago Bears[/a] – who are still active in today’s NFL – were the first winners of the NFL Championship Game.[/p][image alt="NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle awards the first Super Bowl trophy to Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi" id="452cd0e2-9258-4d01-94f4-66aa32a24f75" credit-line="ČTK / AP / Uncredited" guid="5d3b800d-8b5b-4619-b210-4e160a3354e6" original-width="1400" original-height="933" /][p]However, if you look at the table of modern-day champions, this championship will not appear behind the Bears’ name. After the NFL and AFL, a competitor founded in the early 1960s, started discussing a merger in 1966, the two leagues agreed to crown a common champion for all of American football in the championship game named ‘The Big One’, which would be called the Super Bowl – a name given [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/kansas-city-chiefs/vienoNr7/"]Kansas City Chiefs[/a] founder Lamar Hunt, who saw his kids play with a toy called the ‘Super Ball’ – from 1967 onwards.[/p][p]The Super Bowl era kicked off in January 1967 with a game between the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/green-bay-packers/O6ksuA72/"]Green Bay Packers[/a] and Kansas City Chiefs, which the Packers won 35-10 under the tutelage of Vince Lombardi, who the Super Bowl trophy would later be named after. The win was the Packers’ first of back-to-back title runs – their first two of four Super Bowl titles.[/p][h2]Who has won the most Super Bowls?[/h2][p]The Packers’ four wins are the third-most among all teams, together with the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/new-york-giants/lIrBvlxF/"]New York Giants[/a] and Kansas City Chiefs. Only four teams have won more titles: the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/dallas-cowboys/S8sFw8iL/"]Dallas Cowboys[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/san-francisco-49ers/jBnfYoFr/"]San Francisco 49ers[/a], who’ve both won five titles, and the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/pittsburgh-steelers/AXWJxS6R/"]Pittsburgh Steelers[/a] and New England Patriots, who lead the league al with six championships. Amazingly, quarterback Tom Brady has more Super Bowls than any team in NFL history: 7 (Six with the New England Patriots, one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers).[/p][image alt="New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hoists the Vince Lombardi Trophy after beating the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI" id="75ed7cec-e914-4051-a2c3-51a26e62f27b" credit-line="Timothy A.
