Only one time did a Super Bowl MVP came from a LOSING team....who was it and what SB was it in? (honor system here, if you Google it, it really isn't that challenging now, is it)

Chuck Howley doesn't get the press that other retired NFL players get regarding deserving a spot in the NFL Hall Of Fame. Something I didn't have to google is his personal portfolio--a six time pro bowler and a five time first team all-pro.
Something I WOULD have to google would be the total amount of turnovers in that game, SB-V. I remember it well. Duane Thomas came oh so close to a touchdown. In a role reversal from SB-III Earl Morrall took over from John Unitas.
And then there's Howley who played the game of his career.

Difference being that in SBIII Morrall just wasn't moving the team so Unitas was put in to try to get something together, while in SBV Unitas got hammered in the ribs on a pass and had to come out of the game.

Agreed, turnovers were the problem in SB-III as well as SB-V. It was good to see Morrall get vindicated, if you will. He spent over a dozen years in the NFL with teams with average talent. Shula picked him up for insurance as Unitas missed much of that '68 season with that arm injury. So what did Morrall do? He was the NFL MVP in that 1968 season. It was good to see both of them get that victory. And quite honestly, that was a big victory for the Colt defense, both defenses actually played one hell of a game.
I remember Unitas going out in the second quarter with that cracked rib. The Cowboys at that time had a hell of a front four and IIRC it was George Andrie who got to Unitas. Unitas was the gutsiest player in the league at that time (or any other time) regarding playing with pain.
And then when O'Brian kicked the game winning field goal there was the helmet toss, courtesy of Bob Lilly, I swear he tossed his helmet 20 yards down the field.
What was the coldest Super Bowl? No, it's not the one in New York/New Jersey a couple of years ago. The coldest Super Bowl was in New Orleans in Super Bowl VI. It was 39 degrees at kickoff.
Here is a link of the coldest Super Bowls ever played:
Heard this trivia question, thought it was a good one (may have read it on CD, can't remember where)
Only 1 team is a multiple SB winning team without losing a SB, what team is it?
The Baltimore Ravens. They beat the Giants and 49ers.
