Super Bowl 48 is only 2 days away. While surfing the internet I found 48 trivia questions that the NY Daily News published regarding Super Bowl trivia. I though, in honor of the occasion that I would share it with all of the BLD fans and readers.
Also a interesting fact that I came across on Buffalobills.com was that the Buffalo Bills and NY Giants were the last fist place teams to play against each other in the Super Bowl. Since then, there have not been another number 1 ranked AFC team facing a number 1 ranked NFC team. Thanks Chris Brown.
