Super Bowl: Little history notes

Some interesting facts on the Super Bowl…

Bill Belichick coached in his 11th Super Bowl, the most of all-time among coaches while his quarterback Tom Brady set a record for most appearances in The Big Game with eight.

Coming into Super Bowl LII, the Saints held a couple of spot in all time Super Bowl record books. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning squared off in Super Bowl XLIV, each completing 75 percent of their pass attempts. Each were only sacked once, completing 63 total passes for the game.

In that game, Garrett Hartley is the only kicker to convert three field goals from 40 yards or more.

Saints receiver Lance Moore was one of 10 players to have converted on a two-point conversion play.

How much more money did each player make this season to get to this point in the NFL season? Both teams had a first round bye in the playoffs, which would have given each player an additional $28,000 for winning and advancing past the wild card round. Each player did pocket an additional $28,000 for winning their first round playoff and then took home another $51,000 for a conference championship game victory.

The Super Bowl champions are $112,000 richer per player while the losers have to settle for $56,000.
