To this date, a safety has been scored in the Super Bowl nine times, or one every 5.67 Super Bowls.
Interestingly enough, and something that gave oddsmakers fits, the saftety has occurred on three difference occasions in more recent Super Bowls in three consecutive years.
In Super Bowl XLVI, a safety was the first score of the game with equally crippling payout odds.
That was a game between the Giants and the New England Patriots whereby New England quarterback Tom Brady was called for intentional grounding in his own end zone after he threw the ball toward the center of the field while under pressure and where no receivers were on his team's first offensive play of the game.
A safety was scored in the two subsequent Super Bowl games.
