When it comes to Super Bowls and getting blown out, no one goes down in flames quite like the Denver Broncos. Denver's loss to Seattle on Sunday was team's fifth Super Bowl loss, an NFL record.
The Broncos had been tied with the Patriots (3-4), Vikings (0-4) and Bills (0-4) for most Super Bowl losses.
Having the most Super Bowl losses is bad enough, but it gets worse: thanks to the 43-8 final score, the Broncos have now been on the losing end of three of the five biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history.
Here are the five biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history:
1. Super Bowl XXIV: San Francisco 55-10 over Denver
2. Super Bowl XX: Chicago 46-10 over New England
T-3. Super Bowl XLIV: Seattle 43-8 over Denver
T-3. Super Bowl XXVII: Dallas 52-17 over Buffalo
5. Super Bowl XXII: Washington 42-10 over Denver
Here's a brief look at the Broncos' four Super Bowl losses. You can read the game story from the Broncos fifth Super Bowl loss by clicking here.
Super Bowl XII: Dallas 27, Denver 10 -- This is the only Super Bowl in NFL history that had a split MVP and one of only seven times in 48 years that a defensive player won the MVP award. Cowboys defensive tackle Randy White shared the award with teammate Harvey Martin. Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith became the eighth defensive player to win the Super Bowl MVP when he won the award Sunday.
Super Bowl XXI: NY Giants 39, Denver 20 -- The Broncos were beat down by Phil Simms. Simms completed a Super Bowl record 88 percent of his passes (22 of 25) for 268 yards and three touchdowns as New York won its first Super Bowl title in franchise history. Simms also became the first Super Bowl MVP to utter the most famous postgame words that have ever been uttered, "I'm going to Disney World."
Super Bowl XXII: Washington 42, Denver 10 -- Of the Broncos' first four Super Bowl losses, this one might have been the most painful. For one quarter against Washington, the Broncos looked like they were going to dominate the game. Denver jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but then the wheels fell off the wagon and the wagon caught on fire. Redskins quarterback Doug Williams threw four touchdown passes in the second quarter and Washington scored 35 total points as the Redskins turned the game into a rout. Williams threw for 340 yards and four touchdowns and took home the Super Bowl MVP award.
Super Bowl XXIV: San Francisco 55, Denver 10 -- The 49ers' 55-10 win is still the largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history and San Francisco's 55 points are the most ever scored in a Super Bowl. This game was never close as the 49ers jumped out to a 41-3 lead.
It's also worth noting that although the Broncos do lose often in the Super Bowl, they also have won before. With John Elway under center, the Broncos won back-to-back titles in Super Bowl XXXII and XXXIII.
[There sure were a lot of things like missed tackles]
The Broncos should stop hiring girl’s beach volleyball coaches and coreographers as their defensive coaches. To think that these self proclaimed coaches and players came through the ranks of peewee football, high school football, college football and now pro football earning outrageous wages and still consider falling down in front of a runner as a tackle is the epitome of idiocy.
On the kickoff did you happen to notice that 11 broncos running at breakneck speed toward the seahawk endzone were able to get behind the seahawk kick returner going in the opposite direction and then merrily turn around and chase him into the bronco endzone for an “in your face 6 points”?
Better that these defensive coaches be replaced by the next in line after the beach coaches, coreographers and get down to the nitty-gritty cosmetologists......they could not have coached worse than the above wussies.

Old enough to be the best, and he ain’t afraid to say it, and now there’s no doubt about it, and everyone knows it.
Even you.
Yep, me too.
It’s just too bad he didn’t go down as the only quarterback to be shut out in a Super Bowl.
That would have been a record he earned, unlike the one that was swiped form Brees and given to Manning.
But ah well, he got what he deserved.
Three of the best teams in the NFL were in the NFC West. Seattle, San Fran and Arizona. If it wasn’t for Arizona’s slow start learning a new system they would have been a tough team to play against in the playoffs.
We are #1...Woohoo!!!
You betcha!! THe Seahawks silenced all doubters Sure was a close game though!! Manning had a great 1st half.. Threw for oh 2 to three yards.. What a trouncing!!!
And the Rams are on the verge as well.
No, I meant “we” as in the Broncos are #1. #1 in losses!
That was a poor offensive line more than anything. Throw in a crap day for defense and special teams (crappy way to early to say they were tired,) and its clear.. the jury is still out.
Here is one at the SB: Click
Barbra Streisand! My wife, who seldom watches football, was hooting and hollering for the entire game! I have never seen her so excited watching a football game. I was nervous knowing all the bruhaha about how good QB Manning is and that he passed for the most yards ever in one season this year. But by half time it was 22:0 and I knew we had won the game.
Barbra Streisand! Seahawks humiliated the BEST OFFENSE team of 2013. None of the other superbowl winners did that.
Well, the ‘83 Raiders destroyed the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. And Washington was the defending Super Bowl Champion with the league’s number ranked offense; - and had set the record for most points scored in a season.
The Broncos lost the coin toss too. The Seahawks came to play and the Broncos laid an egg.
Congrats to Seattle but I’m bummed out the Broncos got their orange horsed butts kicked badly.
8 to 0!!
Redskins were the SB champs in the previous year? Did they have the best offensive record in the following year when they lost the SB?
Regardless, Seahawks were branded having no players with SB experience, Payton Manning was praised incessantly by football pundits on pre-game TV, citing he was MVP for 2013, had the most passing yards ever in THIS season and 55 TD’s in THIS season, blah, blah, blah.
We have a young team here in Seattle, and we are celebrating!
Good thing they got rid of Tebow, or it might have been a blowout. :)
That Leon Lett muffed play in the snow do you know the Cowboys never lost another game that season and the Dolphins never one another game then either.
Yes I noticed that too the look on Manning’s face early in the game. Same defeated look he wore against the Colts earlier in the season where they lost one. Peyton was in a head funk mode prior to the game___he wasn’t feeling it and he wasn’t his usual commanding self out there either. Sometimes the game is won or lost between the ears.
and he got to do it twice in the same game....Another record for Joe!!
