When Was the Last Time BOTH #1 Seeds Made the Super Bowl?

That was a question I was very much curious to find out about ... and from the research I've done, it hasn't happened a lot. In fact, if I'm right it's only happened TWICE before that the #1 Seeds from both conferences made the Super Bowl ...

1991 - Super Bowl XXV -- New York Giants/Buffalo Bills ... Giants won 20-19

1993 - Super Bowl XXVII -- Dallas Cowboys/Buffalo Bills ... Cowboys won 52-17.

THAT'S IT -- just twice before in NFL History. Just an interesting little tidbit that I thought people would be curious to know about.

it happened in 2009/10

Colts/Saints as well.

What I want to know is the last time the highest scoring team met the lowest scoring defense.

Bucs versus Raiders was the last time Number 1 in yards faced Number 1 in yards allowed (Bucs were also 1st in points allowed, but Raiders 2nd in points scored).

And the NFC, #1 defense dominated that day (in perfect weather conditions nonetheless).

IIRC, this is the first time the #1 passing offense will play the #1 passing defense in the Owl.

Ahhh ... thanks for the correction there. So it's happened THREE other times in NFL History -- this now being the 4th. Still, that's not a whole lot.
