American football game played onJanuary 26 ,1992 at theHubert H. Humphrey Metrodome inMinneapolis, Minnesota to decide theNational Football League (NFL) champion following the 1991 regular season. TheNational Football Conference (NFC) championWashington Redskins (17-2) defeated theAmerican Football Conference (AFC) championBuffalo Bills (15-4), 37–24. Washington became the fourth team to win threeSuper Bowl s, joining thePittsburgh Steelers , theOakland Raiders , and theSan Francisco 49ers . The Bills also became the third team to lose back-to-back Super Bowls, joining Minnesota (Super Bowls VIII and IX) and Denver (Super Bowls XXI and XXII). They would go on to lose 4 straight.The Redskins jumped to a 24–0 lead early in the third quarter, which the Bills could never recover from. Washington quarterback
Mark Rypien , who completed 18 of 33 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns, with 1 interception, was named the first Canadian born player to win theSuper Bowl MVP (born in Calgary, raised in Spokane, Washington). Redskins head coachJoe Gibbs became only the third head coach to win three Super Bowls. Washington became the first and still only team to win three Super Bowls with three different starting quarterbacks, following wins byJoe Theismann (Super Bowl XVII) and Doug Williams (Super Bowl XXII).Background
NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl XXVI to Minneapolis during their
May 24 ,1989 meeting. It became the second Super Bowl to be played in a cold, winter climate city. The first one wasSuper Bowl XVI onJanuary 24 ,1982 in Pontiac, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.Indianapolis, Indiana lost in its bid to host the game at the Hoosier Dome.The Metrodome also hosted the 1992 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, making it the only stadium to host both events in the same calendar year. It also hosted the
1991 World Series as theMinnesota Twins defeated theAtlanta Braves . Minneapolis is the only city and the Metrodome is the only arena to host all three events in a 12-month span. The attendance mark of 63,130 was second lowest only to the first Super Bowl's attendance of 61,946, and the Metrodome was the smallest stadium to ever host the Super Bowl. To date, this is the northernmost Super Bowl ever played.Washington Redskins
Washington entered Super Bowl XXVI leading the league during the regular season with 485 points while allowing just 224. The team was led by
Mark Rypien , head coachJoe Gibbs ' third different starting Super Bowl quarterback (afterJoe Theismann in Super Bowls XVII and XVIII, and Doug Williams inSuper Bowl XXII ). Rypien led the NFC during the regular season in passing yards (3,564) and touchdown passes (28). With 249 out of 421 completions and only 11 interceptions, he earned the second highestpasser rating in the league (97.9).Rypien had several great targets to whom he could throw. Wide receiver
Gary Clark was the main deep threat on the team, catching 70 passes for 1,340 yards and 10 touchdowns. On the other side of the field, wide receiverArt Monk , playing in his 12th NFL season, was just as reliable, catching 71 passes for 1,049 yards and 8 touchdowns. Monk's 71 receptions in 1991 gave him a career total of 801, just 18 behind the all-time record held bySteve Largent . Wide receiverRicky Sanders was also big element of the passing game, catching 45 passes for 580 yards and 5 touchdowns.The Redskins primary weapon in the backfield was running back
Earnest Byner , who ranked 5th in the NFL with 1,048 rushing yards, while also catching 34 passes for 308 yards and scoring 5 touchdowns. Rookie running backRicky Ervins was also a major asset to the running attack, rushing 145 times for 680 yards to earn an average of 4.7 yards per carry, while also catching 16 passes for 181 yards. And when Washington was near the goal line, they usually relied on fullbackGerald Riggs , who rushed for 248 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. The Redskins offensive line, known as "The Hogs", was led byPro Bowl tackleJim Lachey and guardMark Schlereth . "The Hogs" allowed the fewest sacks in the league with just 9, 10 sacks less than the team that allowed the second fewest. Even Washington'sspecial teams unit was a big threat. Running back Brian Mitchell gained 1,183 yards and scored 2 touchdowns returning punts and kickoffs.Washington's defense, which ranked third in the NFL in fewest yards allowed (4,638), was led by all-pro defensive back
Darrell Green , who was one of the fastest players in the NFL, and Pro Bowl linebackerWilber Marshall . Both recorded 5 interceptions each, with Marshall recording 75 return yards and a touchdown, while also compiling 5.5 sacks. Up front, their line was anchored by defensive end Charles Mann, who recorded 11 of Washington's 50 sacks, and recovered a fumble.The Redskins stormed to a league best 14-2 regular season record. After crushing the
Detroit Lions on opening day 45-0, they recorded 11 consecutive wins before suffering their first loss to theDallas Cowboys 24-21. Their only other defeat was a meaningless loss to thePhiladelphia Eagles in the final game of the regular season in which they rested most of their starters because they had already clinched the #1 NFC playoff seed.Buffalo Bills
The Bills No Huddle "K-Gun" offense once again dominated the league by gaining an NFL leading 6,525 yards and scoring 458 points, second only to Washington. The leaders of the offense, quarterback
Jim Kelly and running backThurman Thomas , both had the best seasons of their careers. Kelly completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 3,844 yards and a league leading 33 touchdowns, with only 17 interceptions, to give him a 97.6 passer rating. Thomas rushed for 1,407 yards, caught 62 passes for 620 yards, and scored 12 touchdowns to earn him both theNFL Offensive Player of the Year Award and theNFL Most Valuable Player Award . Just like Washington, Buffalo had more than one threat in their backfield. Running backKenneth Davis emerged as a big threat, rushing for 624 yards, catching 20 passes for 118 yards, and scoring 5 touchdowns.The Bills also had several major weapons in their passing game. Wide receiver
Andre Reed led the team with 81 receptions for 1,113 yards and 10 touchdowns, and also rushed 12 times for 136 yards. On the other side of the field, veteran wide receiverJames Lofton recorded 57 receptions for 1,072 yards and 8 touchdowns to earn his 8th Pro Bowl appearance and finish the year just 55 yards short of the all time receiving record held by Largent (13,089 yards). Pro Bowl tight endKeith McKeller was also a big contributor with 44 receptions for 434 yards, while receiverDon Beebe had 32 catches, 414 yards, and 6 touchdowns. Once again, the Bills offensive line was led by centerKent Hull along with Pro Bowl guardJim Ritcher .But the Bills had big problems on their defense. Buffalo ranked just 27th (At the time there were 28 NFL teams) in yards allowed, 19th in points allowed, and recorded only 31 sacks. A reason for this was that defensive linemen
Bruce Smith andJeff Wright had missed most of the season with injuries. One of the few bright spots on the Bills defense was Pro Bowl linebackerCornelius Bennett , who recorded 78 tackles, 9 sacks, and 2 fumble recoveries. Pro Bowl linebackerDarryl Talley led the team with 90 tackles and 5 interceptions, while also recovering 2 fumbles. Defensive backNate Odomes was the leader of the secondary with 5 interceptions, which he returned for 120 yards and a touchdown, along with 66 tackles and a fumble recovery.Despite their defensive problems, the Bills finished the season with an AFC best 13-3 regular season record.
Playoffs
The Redskins first defeated the
Atlanta Falcons , 24-7, in a rain-soaked playoff game that was closer than their 56-17 regular season win over Atlanta. Rypien had 442 passing yards and 6 touchdowns in the earlier game, but could only complete 14 out of 28 passes for 170 yards and 0 touchdowns in the rematch. Still, Washington dominated the Falcons again by forcing 6 turnovers and rushing for 162 yards. The Redskins held the ball for over 36 minutes while running backRicky Ervins recorded 104 rushing yards and a touchdown.Then Washington crushed the
Detroit Lions , 41-10, in the NFC Championship Game. The Lions posted a 12-4 regular season record and were coming off a 38-6 playoff blowout over the Cowboys. Many sports writers predicted that the NFC Championship Game would be much closer than the Redskins' win over the Lions in the season opening game because Detroit's future hall of fame running backBarry Sanders did not play in it due to injury. He had recorded 1,548 yards and 16 touchdowns in the remaining 15 games of the season, and 99 combined rushing and receiving yards against Dallas in the playoffs. However, the Redskins crushed Detroit in this game as well, quickly forcing 2 Lions turnovers and building up a 10-0 lead before the game was five minutes old. The Redskins scored 41 points of off 2 touchdown runs by Riggs, two field goals from kickerChip Lohmiller , a pair of touchdown passes from Rypien to Monk and Clark, and Green's 32-yard fourth quarter interception return for a touchdown. Sanders was held to just 59 total yards, and linebackerWilber Marshall sacked Lions quarterbackErik Kramer three times.Meanwhile, the Bills first defeated the
Kansas City Chiefs , 37-14, avenging a 33-6 Monday night loss during the regular season in which the Chiefs gained over 247 rushing yards, with running backs Harvey Williams andChristian Okoye recording over 100 rushing yards each. During this playoff game, the Bills jumped to a 24-0 lead in the third quarter with Kelly throwing three touchdown passes, the first two to Reed and the third to Lofton. The Bills also got a big performance out of Thomas, who rushed for over 100 yards, and kickerScott Norwood , who made 3 field goals. Meanwhile, unconcerned with Kansas City's weak passing game, Buffalo played Bennett and Talley close to the line of scrimmage on nearly every play to stuff the run. Both players combined for 13 tackles, while the Bills defense held running backBarry Word , who became the Chiefs' primary rusher since the Monday Night game and rushed over 100 yards in each of Kansas City's previous 3 games, to just 50 yards. In addition, Buffalo's defense knocked Chiefs quarterbackSteve DeBerg out of the game and intercepted backup quarterback Mark Vlasic four timesBuffalo then narrowly defeated the
Denver Broncos , 10-7, in the AFC Championship Game in what was a tough defensive struggle. The Broncos, who had the AFC's top rated defense, were coming off a 26-24 win over theHouston Oilers in which quarterbackJohn Elway led them on an 87-yard drive to set up kickerDavid Treadwell 's game-winning field goal with only 16 seconds left. It was predicted that this AFC Championship Game would be a shootout between the Bills' powerful offense and the superb postseason play of Elway. But neither Elway nor the Bills offense had much success, as the game was totally dominated by defense. Bennett had another great game, constantly pressuring Elway and tackling Denver rushers behind theline of scrimmage three times. Bills linebackerCarlton Bailey also made a big impact, intercepting ascreen pass from Elway and returning it 11 yards for Buffalo's only touchdown of the game. After backup quarterbackGary Kubiak scored Denver's only touchdown with less than two minutes to go, the Bills then clinched the victory when defensive backKirby Jackson forced and recovered a fumble from running backSteve Sewell on Denver's final drive of the game.uper Bowl pregame news
During the week leading to Super Bowl XXVI, it seemed most of the pressure was on the Bills. The AFC Championship Game appeared to be the best defensive effort by Buffalo all season, as they held the Broncos to only a touchdown, while also limiting Elway to just 11 of 21 completions for 121 yards and no touchdowns, with 1 interception. But the Bills's high powered offense was completely shut down, limited to just a single field goal in the entire game. In addition, the Bills could have easily been eliminated by the Broncos if Treadwell had not missed 3 field goal attempts, 2 of which hit the uprights. The performance also gave an opportunity for Gibbs and the Redskins' coaches to devise a strong game plan to exploit their Super Bowl opponent's weaknesses.
"Denver was successful being aggressive. That may have aided us a little bit in our thinking," said Redskins' defensive coach Richie Petitibon. "Looking at them before they had played Denver, we kind of thought you had to put pressure on this guy (Jim Kelly). We attacked the line of scrimmage more than usual. We wanted to blitz to stop the run early in the game. It's sometimes tough to pick up blitzes against the running game." [http://www.billsbackers.com/SB26REDSKINS.htm]
Redskins linebacker
Matt Millen was bidding to become the first player to play in a Super Bowl victory for three different franchises (he played inSuper Bowl XV andSuper Bowl XVIII with the Raiders, andSuper Bowl XXIV with the 49ers). However, Millen was deactivated for the game and watched from the Redskins sideline.Television and entertainment
The game was broadcast in the
United States byCBS and featured the broadcast team of play-by-play announcerPat Summerall andcolor commentator John Madden (their fifth and final Super Bowl broadcast for CBS).Greg Gumbel hosted all the events with help from his fellow cast member from "The NFL Today "Terry Bradshaw as well asDan Fouts . Also, history was made when CBS'Lesley Visser became the first female sportscaster to preside over the postgameVince Lombardi Trophy presentation. This would be the last Super Bowl to air on CBS untilSuper Bowl XXXV at the end of the 2000 season, as CBS lost the NFC package to FOX following the 1993 season; leaving them without the NFL until they acquired the AFC package from NBC for the 1998 season.The 1990 television contract (which was in effect) gave CBS Super Bowl XXVI instead of Super Bowl XXVII, which was in their rotation. The NFL swapped the CBS and NBC years in an effort to give CBS enough lead-in programming for the upcoming
1992 Winter Olympics two weeks later.Following the game was a "
60 Minutes " interview with future President Bill andHillary Rodham Clinton and an episode of "48 Hours". Super Bowl XXVI was featured in the episode of "The Simpsons " entitled "Lisa the Greek ," which aired three days prior to the game and correctly predicted that Washington would win.With the Redskins win, they became the second team to win Super Bowls on three different networks (NBC-XVII, ABC-XXII, and CBS).
Pregame ceremonies
The pregame show featured local Minnesota youth including the Metropolitan Boys Choir, the
Minnesota Youth Symphonies , and local marching bands.Singer
Harry Connick, Jr. later sang the national anthem. The coin toss ceremony featuredPro Football Hall of Fame head coachChuck Noll . Noll, former Steelers Hall of Fame head coach who had retired a month earlier after 23 seasons, conducted the coin toss. Noll's Steelers had lost to both of these teams earlier in the season by large margins (52-34 to Buffalo and 41-14 to Washington).STS-42 , aspace shuttle mission, was in orbit during the game. A live downlink between the Metrodome and "Discovery" happened during the pregame show. Three of the mission's seven crew members demonstrated a 'human coin toss' in space.Halftime show
The halftime show was titled "Winter Magic" and featured a celebration to the winter season and the Winter Olympics. In addition to dancers and performers, former Olympic champions
Brian Boitano andDorothy Hamill skated on sheets of ice that were embedded on the tops of large platforms that were place on the field for the show. SingerGloria Estefan performed during the show's finale.To counter with the halftime show, FOX decided to broadcast a special live episode of "
In Living Color ". As a result of that ratings success,Michael Jackson would be tapped to perform at halftime duringSuper Bowl XXVII , and more big-name talent would come in the following years since.During the CBS telecast, it is mentioned that
Leonard Smith (the Bills' regular starting strong safety) did not play as a result of an infection in his knee.Game summary
Both teams entered the game as the two highest scoring teams in the league, but after the end of an extremely sloppy first quarter, both of them would be scoreless.
The miscues began right from the start. First, the opening kickoff had to be redone because Bills kicker
Brad Daluiso kicked the ball before refereeJerry Markbreit signaled to begin play. Then after Washington was forced to punt, Bills running backThurman Thomas missed the first two plays of Buffalo's first drive because he misplaced his helmet.Later in the period, Washington drove 89 yards and appeared to score a touchdown on a third down pass from
Mark Rypien to wide receiverArt Monk . But it was overruled byinstant replay : the officials ruled that Monk's foot was out of bounds when he caught the ball (the first time a touchdown was overruled byinstant replay in a Super Bowl). The Redskins tried to salvage the drive with a field goal attempt, but their holderJeff Rutledge fumbled the snap.On Buffalo's first play after the botched field goal attempt, Bills quarterback
Jim Kelly gave Washington another chance to score by throwing an interception to Redskins safetyBrad Edwards , who returned it 21 yards to the Bills 12-yard line. But Rypien propmptly gave it back with an interception to Bills defensive backKirby Jackson on the third play of the Redskins' ensuing drive.But in the second quarter, the Redskins began to take over the game. First, a 41-yard completion from Rypien to wide receiver
Ricky Sanders and a 19-yard run byErnest Byner set up kickerChip Lohmiller 's 34-yard field goal to give Washington a 3-0 lead. The Redskins defense then forced Buffalo to athree-and-out on their ensuing possession, and punterChris Mohr 's 23-yard punt sailed out of bounds at the Washington 49-yard line. The Redskins then drove 51 yards in 5 plays to score with Byner's 10-yard touchdown reception. Then on the Bills next drive, Washington defensive backDarrell Green intercepted a pass from Kelly at the Redskins 45-yard line. Three plays after the turnover, Rypien completed a 34-yard pass to wide receiverGary Clark to reach the Buffalo 15-yard line. A 14-yard run byRicky Ervins then set up fullbackGerald Riggs ' 1-yard touchdown run to expand the Redskins' lead, 17-0.The Bills had a chance to drive for a score late in the second quarter. With 1:46 left in the half, Bills special teams expert
Steve Tasker downed Mohr's 48-yard punt at the Redskins 1-yard line. Washington gained zero net yards during that possession, and Buffalo got the ball back afterCliff Hicks returnedKelly Goodburn 's 42-yard punt 2 yards to the Redskins 41-yard line. From there, Kelly completed 21-yard pass to tight endKeith McKeller to get to the 20-yard line. But after an incomplete pass and an 8-yard sack by linebackerWilber Marshall , Edwards broke up a third down pass intended forAndre Reed . It was borderline pass interference, but none of the officials made the call. In disgust, Reed threw his helmet to the ground, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that took his team out of field goal range and forced them to punt.The Bills became the 8th team to go scoreless in the 1st half, after the Baltimore Colts in
Super Bowl III ; theMinnesota Vikings in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI; the Redskins inSuper Bowl VII ; and theDenver Broncos inSuper Bowl XII .The Redskins then increased their lead 24-0 just 16 seconds into the second half after linebacker
Kurt Gouveia intercepted Kelly's pass on the first play of the third quarter and returned it 23 yards to the Bills' 2-yard line. One play later, Riggs scored his second touchdown of the game. The Redskins' 24-0 lead midway through the 3rd quarter is the largest shutout lead in Super Bowl history. TheSan Francisco 49ers had led theCincinnati Bengals 20-0 at halftime inSuper Bowl XVI .The Bills finally got some momentum going with their next few drives. First, they drove 77 yards to the Redskins 3 yard-line, aided by a 43-yard completion from Kelly to receiver
Don Beebe . Washington kept Buffalo out of the end zone, but kickerScott Norwood kicked a 21-yard field goal to cut their deficit to 24-3. Then aided by a 29-yard pass interference penalty on Redskins cornerbackMartin Mayhew in the end zone, the Bills finally scored a touchdown on their next drive with a 1-yard run by Thomas to make the score 24-10.The two teams combined for the most points in a 3rd quarter in a Super Bowl history (24 total points: 14 for Washington and 10 for Buffalo) and the most combined in a second half (44 total points: 24 for Buffalo and 20 for Washington).
But Buffalo's hopes of a comeback faded when Washington advanced 79 yards in 11 plays on their ensuing drive, scoring on Clark's 30-yard touchdown reception to give the Redskins a 31-10 lead with 1:24 left in the third period. Then 3 plays after receiving the ensuing kickoff, Kelly fumbled the ball while being sacked by defensive back
Alvoid Mays , and it was recovered by defensive endFred Stokes . After the turnover, Washington drove to the Bills 7-yard line and increased their lead to 34-10 with Lohmiller's 25-yard field goal on the second play of the fourth quarter.Then on the Bills ensuing drive, Kelly was sacked for a 9-yard loss by Stokes, threw an incomplete pass, and then threw his second interception of the game to Edwards, who returned it 35 yards to Buffalo's 33-yard line. Five plays later, Lohmiller kicked his second field goal with 11:36 left in the game to increase Washington's lead to 37-10. With the game almost completely out of reach, the Bills managed to respond with a 15 play, 79-yard drive to cut the score to 37-17 on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Kelly to Metzelaars. Then, after recovering an onside kick, the Bills drove 50 yards and scored another touchdown with Beebe's 4-yard reception to make the score 37-24. But the Bills' second onside kick attempt was unsuccessful and the Redskins were able to run out the clock. From there, the Bills attempted one final pass play before time expired.
Kelly, completed 28 of a Super Bowl-record 58 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns, but was sacked 4 times, intercepted four times, and lost a fumble. Thomas ran for only 13 yards on 10 carries and was limited to 27 yards on four receptions.
James Lofton was the top receiver for the Bills with 7 catches for 92 yards. But Reed was limited to just 5 catches for 31 yards. Clark had seven catches for 114 yards and a touchdown and Monk added seven for 113 yards. (Clark and Monk became the third pair of teammates to each have 100 yards receiving in a Super Bowl; they joined the Steelers'John Stallworth andLynn Swann who did it inSuper Bowl XIII and the Bengals'Cris Collinsworth and Dan Ross who did it inSuper Bowl XVI ).Ervins was the top rusher of the game with 79 yards. Byner recorded 49 rushing yards, and 3 receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown. On defense, Edwards recorded four tackles, broke up five passes, and returned two interceptions for 56 yards. The Redskins amassed 417 yards of total offense while limiting the explosive Bills to 283, with just 43 rushing yards.
