It was a smash mouth performance by Billick's Ravens in all three phases of the game, 34-7. No other team in the NFL could have beaten Billick's team on that day.
BTW, Fassel and Billick were close friends. Billick hired him as his offensive coach a few years later.

I'm with Jerz on this one. That was one hell of a Super Bowl.
Blowout doesn't mean bad game.
You came to see the best team in the league and the best team proved themselves that day. Crushing the opposition with brutal efficiency.
Close Super Bowls aren't all good ones either. 53 between the Patriots and the Shouldn't Be Heres (Fuck You NFL) was boring as all shit. No it wasn't a "great defensive game" neither team knew how to play offense until the 4th and even then it wasn't good offense either.
It's why 43-8 and the Bucs holding Mahomes of all people to 0 Touchdowns are some of the best displays of football around. Whereas Super Bowls 9, 40, and 47 are pretty lacking.

Except 47 was in fact pretty crazy good. Joe Flacco was perfect in the first half and so was the Raven D. In the second half it was lights out and that wasn't on the game but rather the failed fucks at Entergy NO Inc.. Boo on them.
Maybe you meant 33. But 40 was was one lame game and the zebras were horrid just as they were in 53. Both teams' QBs just sucked.
I thought 9 was a helluva defensive game, Tarkenton was a chaotic offensive force but the Steelers muzzled him all day. I think SB 1 & 2 were terrible games. I thought it back in the day i saw them live, and no film of them has ever changed that opinion. The AFL wasn't quite ready yet.

At the time I hated it. But as the years and decades past and the Jets remained grounded and the Colts limped off to Indy my perspective on SB 3 changed. It's exhibit #1 in a case study of "on any given Sunday".
*many years and decades pass*
Last year or two, the gimpy decrepit std ravaged Joe Namath started pitching Medicare part C during every other commercial break on cable TV, promising this and that and whatever - just call this number. Ethel, he's finally become the annoying washed up laughing stock he should have become on January 12, 1969 had the Colts brought their A game or even their B game. Had the Colts done so we wouldn't have to watch "Broadway Joe" do these pathetic ass redundant insurance commercials. After all, he only bought one guarantee with his soul, courtesy of the devil, and it's not on Medicare part C. Please be advised.

You didn't know that the Wizards' original name was the Bullets? I feel old. It was done because they didn't want to be seen as glorifying violence. I remember at the time the joke going around was that the Washington Bullets wanted to change their name to something less offensive, so they were removing "Washington" from their name.
That is absolutely hilarious though.by Ethel mermania » Wed Jun 16, 2021 10:52 am

Much like the Colts there were the Original Baltimore Bullets from 1944 to 1954 and hold the distinction of being the only team in the NBA to have an invalidated title as when the new Bullets came around in 63 they were not given the legacy so there is 1 trophy that has no place anywhere in the NBA.
The Baltimore Bullets we all remember were originally the Chicago Packers (Heresy intensifies) in 61-62 before changing to the Chicago Zephyrs for 62-63, in 63-64 they came to Baltimore and and became the Baltimore Bullets. The Bullets were a pretty fun team with Earl The Pearl Monroe and Wes Unselfish Unsel but their era was too strong for them to have a shot at the title (the fact that the 71 Bucks, 72 Lakers, and 73 Knicks are considered among the greatest teams of all time really puts into perspective how impossibly tough the era was). Then in 1973 they became the Capital Bullets but changed it to Washington Bullets in 1974 and the name has stayed that way until 1997 when they became The becamea top 7 Black Sabbath songthe Washington Wizards we know today.
Not only did the team win their championship as the Washington Bullets they spent the majority of their existence in Washington. I suppose alliteration (and that awesome early 70s roster) are to blame for the Baltimore Bullets being a more famous name.

Wow. Where did you come up with this additional info, this is great!
I'd heard about the invalidated title once while listening to a game radio broadcast by Bullet announcer, the late Jim Karvelas. I listened to a lot of the games on AM radio in the 1960s. I haven't heard of that thing in years!

I'm a bit of a Sports Historian and thankfully basketball is easy as the teams were smaller, the key players were much more important, and the players and coaches that were good typically stayed for A LONG time.
I remember the NBA having an invalid title because a defunct team won it and no one was able to claim it afterwards. I thought maybe it was the Original Bullets but I wanted to make sure so I googled it. Yup it was them and then I listed the history of the New Bullets name and location. I also dropped fun facts about their roster and the era as a whole to show how tough the era was.
And so forth.
