* The Blues Brothers halftime show attempted to follow the model of the Indiana Jones stunt show two years prior to disastrous results. A few days before the game, a stuntwoman named Laura Patterson died while practicing for a planned bungee jumping stunt, putting a seemingly permanent end to the trend of stunts in halftime shows before it could even get started. The show was widely criticized as a messy attempt by Dan Aykroyd to promote both his new House of Blues chain of music venues and the upcoming ''Film/BluesBrothers2000'', which didn't come out for a full year after this show and was a BoxOfficeBomb. Even Fox itself got its own share of criticism when it tried to shoehorn in a fake news broadcast to promote the new Creator/FoxNewsChannel. But hey, at least ZZ Top drove onto the field on motorcycles.

* The Raiders' defeat was so devastating that it effectively broke the organization. Long one of the proudest and most successful teams in the NFL, the Raiders entered a death spiral immediately after their loss, failing to put up a winning season/playoff berth for over a decade and continuing to struggle even after that. Callahan was fired after the next season, with many of his players (including Hall of Fame receiver Tim Brown) accusing him of throwing the game, either to help out his friend Gruden or to get back at Al Davis; this gave him the shortest head coaching tenure of any HC to reach the Big Game. Gannon was sidelined with injuries during that season and out of football entirely the following year.

* The Raiders' defeat was so devastating that it effectively broke the organization. Long one of the proudest and most successful teams in the NFL, the Raiders entered a death spiral immediately after their loss, failing to put up a winning season/playoff berth for over 14 years, by far the longest drought for a decade team coming off a Super Bowl appearance, and continuing to struggle even after that. The team posted only four wins in 2003, the worst record for any team coming off a Super Bowl appearance, and Callahan was fired after fired, giving him the next season, with shortest head coaching tenure of any Super Bowl HC. This firing came in the midst of many of his players (including Hall of Fame receiver Tim Brown) accusing him of throwing the game, Big Game, either to help out his friend Gruden or to get back at Al Davis; this gave him Davis. This precipitous decline could also be attributed to the shortest head coaching tenure (relatively) advanced age of any HC to reach much of the Big Game. roster; Gannon was sidelined with injuries during that season and out of football entirely the following year.within two years, and Brown and Rice would soon retire as well.

* The Niners' victory gave them the most Super Bowl wins of any franchise at five; this record was tied by the Cowboys the following year and eventually passed by the Steelers and Patriots, as San Francisco hasn't been able to add another title since (though no other franchise has won five straight appearances). Sanders got out of town right away, signing a huge contract with Dallas. This was not ''quite'' the end of the Niners' '80s-'90s dynasty, as they remained very competitive for another four years until injuries forced Young into retirement. It was, however, an EndOfAnAge for their run as league champions; while they later returned to two more Super Bowls, they still have yet to win another.
