All American Literature

Millions of Superbowl fans tuned in yesterday to see one of the most prolific American sporting spectacles of the year. It was the second time in 3 years that the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs made it to the final, with the Eagles triumphant, beating the Chiefs 40 to 22 to become the NFL champions.
“So far, 20 different teams have won the Super Bowl. However, four teams- the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans – have never played in one. The 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team to win the Super Bowl with a perfect season.”
