10 Super Stats From @ESPNStatsInfo
One of my favorite Twitter accounts is @ESPNStatsInfo.* Mark Simon and his team share facts and stats about whatever games are going on at the time. As you'd expect, they've been cranking out a lot of Super Bowl stuff. Here are a few highlights.

Seahawks' 1st playoff game was 1983 Wild Card game vs Broncos on Christmas Eve, a Seattle win. Only time these teams have met in playoffs.
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) January 21, 2014
And while not a Super Bowl fact, this one is worth a mention:
Mike Pettine is 5th head coach the Browns have had since 2008. No other team in AFC North has made any coaching changes over that stretch.
