See every Super Bowl score by quarter. HISTORY IN CONTEXT Across all 60 games, the average combined score is 46.8 and the median is 46.5. The average winning margin is 13.6, while the median margin is 11.5. Super Bowl XXIX produced the highest combined score at 75 when the San Francisco 49ers beat the San Diego Chargers 49–26. Super Bowl LIII is the lowest at 16 total points after a 13–3 final. The closest margin is one point in Super Bowl XXV. The largest is 45, set when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 55–10 in Super Bowl XXIV. That result leads the biggest Super Bowl blowouts rankings. 23 games finished within one score, or 38.3%. 13 were decided by at least 20 points. Total scoring and competitiveness are separate: a game can produce plenty of points and still finish with a large gap, or stay low-scoring and close. Era averages moved without following a straight line. The 1970s averaged 34.7 combined points and a 11.7-point margin; the 1990s rose to 56.0 points with a 18.0-point margin. The 2020s stand at 51.1 points and 10.9 through 7 games, so the current decade is still a smaller sample. Super Bowl LIII finished 13–3, with 16 combined points. Super Bowl XXV finished 20–19, with a 1-point winning margin. Super Bowl XXIV finished 55–10, with a 45-point winning margin.

How the totals work
Years refer to the calendar year when the Super Bowl was played. Franchise totals follow the current franchise across relocations and team-name changes. Co-MVPs count as two awards in one game. Current franchises with no appearance are included with zero trips rather than omitted.
