The top five Super Bowl performances of all time

Of course these will be up for debate, but looking at stats, and remembering how these performances played out I think we can build a pretty good list of the Top Five Super Bowl Performances of all time. Now I am talking about game performances, later in teh week we will do moments, so David Tyree does not make this list, but he will make the moment’s list. With that being said let us take a look at teh five best Super Bowl Performances of all time:

1. Steve Young, Super Bowl 29- Young finally got the monkey off his back with a Super Bowl win. Sure he was there for two of Joe Montana’s Super Bowl wins, but this one was his and it proved he was a Hall of Fame QB in his own right. He went 24-36 for 325 yards, Six TD’s, and no INT’s. In a word, AWESOME!

2. Marcus Allen, Super Bowl 18- Against the number one run defense of the Washington Redskins Allen ran for 191 yards on just 20 carriers. The play everyone remembers is the 74 yard run at the end of teh Third Quarter that is still the longest play from scrimmage in Super Bowl History.

3. Joe Montana, Super Bowl 2- He threw for 297 yards and five TD’s as teh Niners destroyed the Denver Broncos. On top of that he went 22-29. Without doubt the finest game within the finest Super Bowl career.

4. Jerry Rice, Super Bowl 23-Had he been the one to catch the TD pass to complete the miracle comeback this would be number one on the list. Since teammate John Taylor caught that pass, some tend to forget the numbers Rice put up that day. He gained 215 yards (a Super Bowl Record) on just 11 catches.

5. Phil Simms, Super Bowl 21- In the biggest game of his career Simms has his best game. In yet another drubbing of the Broncos Simms goes 22-25 for 269 yards and three TD’s.
