Super Bowl kickoff betting history
Here is a look at the history of kickoff return betting on the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 58: 49ers vs. Chiefs: Harrison Butker hits touchback
Super Bowl 57 Chiefs vs. Eagles: Harrison Butker kicks a touchback
Super Bowl 56 Rams vs. Bengals: Evan McPherson kicks touchback
Super Bowl 55 Chiefs vs. Buccaneers: Harrison Butker returns Tampa Bay's Jaydon Mickens' kick 26 yards for a touchback.
Forty-nine of 58 kickoffs in the Super Bowl have been returned, including 26 of the last 31.
However, there have been three consecutive kickoff returns for Tampa Bay, undoubtedly influenced by NFL rule changes. Five of the fumble returns in the past three decades have occurred in indoor stadiums, and this year's Super Bowl will also be played indoors.
