Think about how close some of these teams have come to not being on this list:
The Arizona Cardinals lose in the last few seconds of the Super Bowl
The Indians take a lead into the bottom of the 9th of the 7th game of the WS
The SF Giants take a recent WS to the 7th game
The Tennessee Titans/Oilers are stopped "one yard short" in the last play of a SB
The Buffalo Bills lose 4 SBs in a row, especially the one that Scott Norwood misses the FG on the last play
The Bengals are defeated on a last minute drive by Joe Montana in a SB
There may be other stories like the above.

The last "Super Bowl" in which there has been a shutout was in 1964 when the Browns shut out the Colts 27-0.
What? Some people want to say that wasn't a "Super Bowl"? Well, it is if I want to say it is. The term "Super Bowl" is just a made up name for the NFL Championship game after all. I only extrapolated the fallacy a little.
Average winning score of title games since 1966?
Just a guess: 27-13.
