I don't have any official rankings....but
Top 2 is definitely Falcons/Patriots and Chiefs/49ers Round 2. Those games I often rewatch.
Then I might argue the Broncos/Panthers, not so much the game's values - but it was nice seeing that complete Broncos team win the Super Bowl on a dominant defense....... and the narrative around Peyton the goat while Von Miller clearly stole the show and rightfully deserved MVP.
Patriots/Seahawks, Patriots/Eagles, Rams/Bengals, Chiefs/Eagles, Chiefs/49ers Round 1 are all good Super Bowls but none would rank among my favorites.
Chiefs/Bucs and Patriots/Rams are throw in the garbage games.

It's like a Kick Kyle Shanahan in the ass contest really He's really the groomsmaid but never the groom. Tho, hard to blame the most recent Super Bowl on him. 49ers defense gave up 4 field goals in regulation to the top QB in the league. The only TD was a special teams mistake. If you told him give him 4 Mahomes field goals at the start of the game, and they still lose.... I'd find that kinda funny. Then they fired Steve Wilks.... like it's his fault. Come on now. Seriously. It's no mystery what side of the ball deserves the blame. I guess you can blame him for having McCloud in the game tho, but then... that ball bounced off of his players' foot. It's quite an unfortunate play. |

Top of the pile is easily Patriots and Eagles for me. Nick Foles has his Forrest Gump when the leg braces come off moment. The happiest of happy endings. Bottom of the pile is easily that Patriots-Rams game. Holy shit, what a farce. I remember when the Rams and Chiefs had that MNF game in November and the whole world lost their fucking mind over it and how THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE NFL and I knew right there that the Patriots were going to beat those two teams to end the season, and there you go. Didn't think it'd be THAT damp a squib though.  I have Broncos and Panthers second because I'm a Peyton guy, and though he had very little to do with it I was happy for him I think Pats and Hawks was a better game than Pats and Falcons, so I'd put that at three, then this one just now would probably be 4, then Pats and Falcons would be 5. I probably put the first Niners-Chiefs game at 6, because I did not see that comeback coming. 7, 8, and 9 are pretty nondescript. I don't really remember much of anything about any of them. I'd put the Rams one at 7 because I was very happy for Stafford, put last years one at 9 because that ending was embarrassing. What a refbowl. TLDR: 01. Eagles v. Patriots, 2017 02. Broncos v. Panthers, 2015 03. Patriots v. Seahawks, 2014 04. Chiefs v. Niners, 2023 05. Patriots v. Falcons, 2016 06. Chiefs v. Niners, 2019 07. Rams v. Bengals, 2021 08. Bucs v. Chiefs, 2020 09. Chiefs v. Eagles, 2022 10. Patriots v. Rams, 2018 |

Interesting lots of people put Patriots vs Seahawks.
I have seen this game ranked pretty high on all-time Super Bowl rankings list.
I was working so I didn't actually see the game. Just got in on time to see the Malcolm Butler interception.
What stood out about that game besides that play? Seems like an average game to me.
Seems consensus that 2014-2017 were more glorious years than now to most people. 14 out of 17 votes were attributed to those years. Well, ya know..... with the KC Tay-tay Chiefs, maybe the current state of the NFL is making a huge comeback.

Honestly 15 is probably my "favorite" just because it felt so good seeing Peyton get his happy ending and go out on top. Was just an ok game though.
As for ranking how good of games they were-
1. 2016
2. 2014
3. 2023
4. 2021
5. 2022 (great game but holding call and a chip shot field goal at the end wasn't very dramatic)
6. 2017 (great shootout but again no big ending)
7. 2019 (underrated game, feels like it should be higher, people forget the Chiefs were down two scores going into the 4th. But the outcome wasn't it doubt by the end)
8. 2015 (despite what I said above the game itself wasn't that exciting
9. 2018
10. 2020 (boring blowout)

1. Eagles vs. Patriots - Bold and incredible plays all throughout the game, throwing the whole kitchen sink at one another, and a great surprise in Nick Foles.
2. Patriots vs. Seahawks - Great back-and-forth affair with a lot of big plays on both offense and defense, including an all-timer in Kearse's catch on that final Seahawks drive before one of the most boneheaded playcalls in NFL history.
3. Patriots vs. Falcons - God fucking damn it.
4. Chiefs vs. Eagles - Another great back-and-forth of both teams laying it all out. Shame about the ending.
5. Rams vs. Bengals - Officiating throughout the game was suspect but it was a good, close game and those last two drives were just great football.
6. Chiefs vs. 49ers I - Not the most compelling game but the comeback at the end was incredible, especially that ridiculous 3rd and 15 conversion by Mahomes and Hill. Jimmy G's pass sailing at the end was the moment it was clear he was never going to be that guy.
7. Chiefs vs. 49ers II - Close game, but there wasn't much in terms of actual exciting football. There were hardly any splash plays (except the record-long FGs I guess) and the whole overtime period felt like a formality the moment the 49ers made the baffling choice to get the ball first.
8. Broncos vs. Panthers - Yeah, yeah, we all like Peyton but neither offense was able to do much of anything and it was a clear Broncos advantage all throughout.
9. Buccaneers vs. Chiefs - The Chiefs o-line being Swiss cheese prevented this from being a game at all. Mahomes tried to make it interesting with some of the most incredible incompletions of all-time as his WRs also decided to take the day off.
10. Patriots vs. Rams - Just an unbelievably boring game. Belichick with an insanely good gameplan and McVay had absolutely no answers for it.
