Super Bowl XXXVI - Records

Records

• Kurt Warner's 365 passing yards were the second highest total in Super Bowl history behind his own record of 414 yards set in Super Bowl XXXIV.
• This is the only Super Bowl to date in which the lead changed on the last play of the game.
• Tom Brady had the third lowest passing yards total for a Super Bowl MVP quarterback with 145. Brady's was the first such award to include a contribution from fan voting. The following year's "Lindy's Pro Football Annual" reported had fan voting not been a contribution in the game, Patriots' cornerback Ty Law would have won the award.
• This was the commonwealth of Massachusetts' first major professional championship since the Boston Celtics' NBA title in 1986.
• The Rams' 4th-quarter comeback of 14 points is the largest in Super Bowl history for a team to tie or take the lead in the 4th quarter. Also just the second time a team down 10 or more points in the 4th quarter had tied the game, the other being the Titans against the Rams two years earlier in Super Bowl XXXIV.
• This is the last Super Bowl to be played on AstroTurf, after this game all NFL stadiums switched to FieldTurf.
• The Patriots are the only team to have worn three different color jerseys in the Super Bowl: red in Super Bowl XX, white in Super Bowl XXXI, and blue in Super Bowl XXXVI.
• This was the first Super Bowl to be played in the month of February.
• The New England Patriots were the first team in Super Bowl history to come out on the field as a team, rather than introducing individual players. This started the trend of teams being introduced a whole.
