Fun Facts:

Tom Brady holds the NFL record for career playoff wins by a quarterback with 35. Patrick Mahomes is second with 17 playoff wins. Joe Montana has 16, while Terry Bradshaw, John Elway and Peyton Manning each finished with 14.

In Cody High School’s first year of football in 1921, the team played four games. They lost to Basin 87-0, then again to Basin 117-0. Their most competitive game came against Powell, a 38-7 loss. In the final game, they fell to Powell 74-0. Season totals: 7 points scored, 316 points allowed.

The average American makes roughly enough money in six years to pay for one second of a Super Bowl commercial.

The 2026 Super Bowl is a rematch of the 2015 championship game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. In that Super Bowl, Tom Brady and Russell Wilson combined for 554 passing yards, and the Patriots escaped with a 28–24 victory.

The NFL does not award Super Bowls to cold-weather cities unless they have a domed stadium. Upcoming Super Bowl sites reflect that approach: San Francisco (Santa Clara) in 2026, Los Angeles in 2027 and Atlanta in 2028. Whether San Francisco truly counts as a warm-weather city is still open for debate. Anyone who has been there in July understands why.
