Want to know exactly how much the Super Bowl has changed over the course of the last 48 years? Just take a look at this photo of former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson (and yes, we know it's not a new photo, but it's making waves on the Internet again this week thanks to Reddit). A photographer captured this photo of him at halftime of Super Bowl I. His team was losing 14-10 to the Green Bay Packers at the time—and was en route to a 35-10 loss to Bart Starr & Co.—but does it look like Dawson gave a you-know-what? No.
Something tells us we won't get a shot of Peyton Manning doing this on Sunday night. Just a hunch.
