My vote goes for Super Bowl V.  Though it was definitely not one of the
best played games, any game ending on a field goal surely breeds some
excitement. (As a where are they now, does anybody remember Jim O'Brien?)

Also, if my memory is correct, wasn't this the game in which Mel Renfro
of the Cowboys did/didn't tip the ball and John Mackey continue on for
a TD?  This controversy bred some excitement and caused a rule
change later.
