Tampa will play host to Super Bowl LV in a week, marking the fifth time the Buccaneers' home city has hosted the big game. It's the fourth-highest total of hosting a Super Bowl of any city, behind only Miami (11 times), New Orleans (10) and Los Angeles (seven). And there were some very memorable moments among Tampa's first four Super Bowls. In the first one to be played there, the Los Angeles Raiders upset defending champion Washington, 38-9, in Super Bowl XVIII. Marcus Allen rushed for a then-Super Bowl record 191 yards and took home MVP honors. Allen's game-clinching touchdown run -- 74 yards -- served as the longest run in Super Bowl history for 22 years. Seven years later, the Giants edged the Bills in the only Super Bowl that has been decided by a single point.
In Super Bowl XXXV, in 2001, the Ravens' defense capped off a dominant season by shutting out the Giants' offense. Then in 2009, James Harrison's 100-yard interception return and Ben Roethlisberger's last-minute touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes lifted the Steelers to a thrilling win over the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.
Of course, this year's Tampa Super Bowl is even more special for those who call the host city home, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will become the first team to ever host the Super Bowl at their own stadium. This will be the third Super Bowl played inside Raymond James Stadium. While that seemingly would provide them with an advantage in the big game, on the other sideline awaits the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. This should be one of the most exciting Super Bowl matchups in recent memory when Patrick Mahomes takes on Tom Brady. If Mahomes continues on his current trajectory, he may be the only quarterback who can give Brady a run for his money when it comes to the greatest of all time debate.
