2019 Atlanta Super Bowl Countdown: Super Bowl XI

Super Bowl XI, played on January 9, 1977 at the famed Rose Bowl, was a showdown between the Minnesota Vikings, who were appearing in their fourth-straight Super Bowl, and the Oakland Raiders. The Countdown to Super Bowl LIII rolls on.

Super Bowl XI was a very offensive-minded game, as the Oakland Raiders racked up an NFL-record 288 yards in the first half of the game, leading them to a 32-14 victory over the Vikings.

Willie Brown, cornerback for the Raiders, had a 75 yard interception return for a touchdown in the game. However, Raiders wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff had four catches for 79 yards that would lead to his being named Super Bowl XI MVP. There were a total of 103,438 people who attended Super Bowl XI.

By Super Bowl XI the halftime show was really more of a performance and less of a band show. Disney actually presented “It’s A Small World” with the Los Angeles Unified All-City Band. Another interesting tidbit of Super Bowl XI is that the National Anthem was not sung. Instead, Vikki Carr sang “America the Beautiful.”
