The Super Bowl is the final game of the postseason and the big game to win a ring, but it is usually a highly defensive game with few points. Teams use their best defensive strategy to win but at the same time they must score points to win and the bigger the advantage the better for them. Some Super Bowls were more entertaining than others because of the number of points scored during the game.
The defensive game during a Super Bowl is key, the defensive line must prevent the rival from scoring at all costs to take a considerable advantage during the game. But when the game is highly defensive the game becomes boring.
In the 21st century one of the Super Bowl games was titled as the Super Bowl with the fewest points in history. In that Super Bowl, less than 20 points were scored in what was a game between a big favorite and another team with a high offensive level.
