Super Bowl XXXIII. The day before the big game, Robinson received the Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award, given annually to a player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community. That evening, Robinson was arrested by an undercover female police officer posing as a prostitute as he offered her $40 for oral sex.
The next day, without much sleep the night before due to the prostitution incident, Robinson gave up an 80-yard touchdown reception to Broncos receiver Rod Smith, giving the Broncos a 17–3 lead over the Falcons. Later, in the fourth quarter, he missed a tackle on Denver running back Terrell Davis that enabled Davis to break a long run to the Atlanta 10-yard line. The Atlanta Falcons ended up losing the game, 34–19, and Robinson was widely denounced by the press and fans for the previous night's incident. Robinson agreed to return the award.
Super Bowl XXIII. Instead of going to the final team meeting, Wilson went on a cocaine bender and was found high by his position coach, Jim Anderson. It was his third relapse, which banned him from the NFL for life. The Bengals went on to lose 20-16 to the 49ers.
Super Bowl XXXVII. Instead of getting ready to face the vaunted Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, Robbins disappeared from the team hotel on Saturday and went on a drinking binge in Tijuana, Mexico. The Oakland offensive lineman was so incoherent that he actually thought his Raiders had already won the game.Upon being found, Robbins was sent home and Oakland got crushed by Tampa, 48-21.

In the end, football players are like the rest of humanity which is filled with people who are plagued by their own demons. On the edge of potential greatness under enormous pressure to perform, some snap and do dumb things.
Forrest Gump's Mom said something along those lines:“Mama said that the Forrest part (of his name) was to remind him that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don’t make no sense."

"you forgot to post how ray lewis stabbed and killed 2 men before their superbowl. He went on to become sb mvp and baltimore crushed the giants 34-7"
Yeah, um, so wrong on so many fronts. The incident happened at 3 am after a Super Bowl Lewis' team didn't even play in. The morning after Super Bowl 34, during which the Rams beat the Titans on Jan. 30, 2000.
The two guys that died were involved in a fight and Lewis was with 8 an entrourage in a limo with other people. Lewis tesified to a misdemeaner, and ratted out his two buddies, describing how they both stabbed the two guys that died. Both of his buddies were acquitted, as the jury found it was in self defense. Lewis got probation.
He won MVP on the Super Bowl a year later. Nice try. If you would like to read about it, there are plenty of links, as well as video of his testimony showing the stabbing motions he testified his buddies did.
