I haven’t seen this discussed, but I wonder if last night’s Super Bowl also set a record for the number of different ways that the two teams scored.  I counted eight:

Point After Touchdown – Seattle (5 times)
Safety – Seattle
Two Point Conversion – Denver
Field Goal – Seattle (2 times)
Touchdown, Rushing – Seattle
Touchdown, Passing – Seattle (2 times), Denver
Touchdown, Kickoff Return – Seattle
Touchdown, Interception Return – Seattle

The only* scoring plays missing from last night’s action were punt return for touchdown,  fumble return for touchdown, blocked punt returned for touchdown, blocked field goal returned for touchdown, missed field goal returned for touchdown, and score by forfeit, which has never happened in the National Football League.  The way Denver played, they should have considered it.

* Hard-core fans may object that there are not one but three ways to score a safety: a ball carrier is tackled in his end zone, a blocked punt bounces out of the kicking team’s end zone, and offensive holding is called in the end zone.  Some fans may also insist that rushing and passing are two different ways of scoring a two-point conversion.  So if you must, add three more scoring plays that were not seen in Super Bowl XLVIII.
