IIRC, Russell fumbled (a la Mike Glennon's infamous fumble trying to pass) trying to escape a pass rush on the 1st play from scrimmage. Very similar plays, except Russell never got his arm in motion... In recent history, offense has actually won a lot of Super Bowls. Defense usually GETS a teamto the Super Bowl tho'. Can't hurt to have BOTH... ;D
#1 offense and #1 defense have played each other in the Superbowl only 3 times. Defense is 3-0
As an aside, I wish that botched fumble call had been the difference in the game. The reffing this year has been awful and that would have been the cherry on the fecal sundae of this season.
Totally agree. Kaepernick's mistakes bailed out the refs.

And how recently were those 3 games?That was his point, all those old games are meaningless stats with the rule changes that have been put in place.
Pretty cool coincidence.
