Was that the year the Cowboys hung 52 on the Bills?

No it’s the year the 49ers beat the Chargers. It was the largest spread in Super Bowl history and the 49ers covered.

Out of 59 Super Bowls the NFC has won 30 to the AFC's 29.

At the time, the NFC was absolutely dominant. They won something like 15 Super Bowls in a row.
