There were 37 individual or team Super Bowl records either set or tied Sunday.

We’re sure you know about the record for the longest field goal: Buffalo’s Steve Christie kicked a 54-yarder.

Tying the record for most Super Bowls won: the Cowboys, with four.

But bet you didn’t know that the teams also tied a record for fewest punt returns with two. They also tied a record for fewest touchdown passes from both teams, with zero.

But our favorite is the tying of the individual record for the most Super Bowls played on a losing team--four. Twenty-two individuals, in fact, tied that record:

Of course, they all play for the Bills.
