2024 Super Bowl: Ranking all 21 Super Bowls on CBS, with Chiefs vs. 49ers ready to make list

This one, however, came at the end of a thrilling fourth quarter that included 37 points, five scores and the longest pass completion in Super Bowl history. 

The Panthers trailed 21-10 early in the fourth quarter, but a 33-yard run by DeShaun Foster followed by an 85-yard completion from Jake Delhomme to Muhsin Muhammad gave the Panthers a 22-21 lead. The teams then…
