How the NFL Kept COVID from Shutting Down Super Bowl LV | The Biggest Game

Through rigorous testing, tracking, and adjustments to the calendar, the 2020 NFL season reached its conclusion without cancelling a single game. And at the end of that road lay Super Bowl LV. The premier event on the American sports calendar every year. Today on The Biggest Game: former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David, Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL's Chief Medical Officer, and longtime NFL executive Jeff Miller explain how the season and the biggest game took place in the midst of a global pandemic.

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo on how Super Bowl III Took the NFL Mainstream | The Biggest Game

Fresh off First Take, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo tells us that back in 1969 the NFL and AFL were two separate leagues. They didn't even call the championship game the "Super Bowl" yet. But when Joe Namath guaranteed victory and led the New York Jets to a shocking upset victory over Don Shula's Baltimore Colts, all that began to change. The impending merger between the two leagues suddenly seemed less like the junior varsity joining the big time, and more like a marriage between equals.
