2017 Super Bowl Coin Toss Results
Did you miss it? The most dramatic moment in sports this week? You mean to tell me you missed the coin toss at the NFL Combine that would determine if the Philadelphia Eagles or the Indianapolis Colts would own the 14th pick in the upcoming draft?
- The last team to win the coin toss and lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy was the Seattle Seahawks in 2014 at Super Bowl 48, when they defeated the Denver Broncos 43-8. Below is a list of the past 10 Super Bowl coin toss results: 2020 Tails 2019 Tails 2018 Heads 2017 Tails 2016 Tails 2015 Tails 2014 Tails 2013 Heads 2012 Heads 2011 Heads.
- As we all know, Super Bowl coin toss history is completely random as there is virtually a 50/50 chance of the coin landing on heads or tails. However, according to Vince Bohbot (executive vice president at The Highland Mint in Florida, where the Super Bowl coin is made), the weight of each side of the coin can vary ever so slightly depending on the coin’s design.

Let’s catch you up: Because both teams finished last season with 8-8 records and the same strength of schedule (.492), a coin toss would be necessary to determine the order of the 14th and 15th overall selections in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Seriously, this was all the rage on Friday morning. There were photos of the coin, which had the Minnesota Vikings logo on it because they traded their first rounder to the Eagles for Sam Bradford:
There was this funny tweet from the Eagles about the advice they were getting on calling heads or tails:
Fans — yes, fans! — even showed up to watch the event:
One intrepid reporter even livestreamed the toss, and so did the Eagles:
And here’s the huge nail-biting moment. Eagles VP Howie Roseman was so excited after the coin came up Vikings. The crowd? Not so much:
The reaction was so beautiful. Try not to get too emotional:
And then … it was over.
Fin.

What we have to remember about the coin toss is that this is really a 50/50 proposition. This is why legal online sportsbooks offer -105, -104, or even -101 odds on the prop. Every person believes that they have the “know” about which player is going to be calling the coin toss and what he is going to say when he gets to the 50 yard line on Sunday, but the truth of the matter is that this really is a random call, and it’s a random result that occurs. Although, there was been nothing random about the NFC winning 13 straight Super Bowl coin tosses through 2011.
