Super Bowl XV (1981)
First thing the video shows is Vince Lombardi's wife, Marie, come out onto the field for the coin toss. This is a similarity to what they do today. Last year if I recall, they brought out a celebrity, Joe Namath to flip the coin. The other similarity that I noticed was that the game was played in the Superdome. I had no idea that it was that old, but even recently it has held a Super Bowl.
Some differences that I noticed were quite evident. One, the style of play was much slower. The plays were almost always slow progressing. The other thing was some of the lingo. Bryan Gumbel was the only commentator I know that still works today and he still sounded the same. The lingo they used wasn't much different but it was sort of dumbed down. Like, if you have ever watched a game where John Gruden is the commentator, he goes way in depth, like a coach. In reality only football or madden players would get some of the stuff he is saying. Another difference was the halftime show was not a single singer, but instead a group preforming some Mardi-Gras parade thingy.
Oakland whoops the Philly Eagles and the game itself was kind of like the most recent Super Bowl. Where the Seahawks defense just obliterates the Broncos offense.
