Thanks for posting this. I remember it like it was yesterday. They still had an outside shot at the 1 seed if the Steelers wouldve lost. AFC was so loaded that year!! A 12-4 Chargers team was a 4 seed.
yeah, I forgot the Steelers went 15-1 on a 14-game win streak.

57. 1970 Baltimore Colts (14-2-1, 6.8%)​



“This was the first season after the merger, and the NFC was still far superior to the AFC. According to Pro Football Reference, the Colts had the second-easiest schedule of the 1970 season. Despite that schedule, they outscored opponents by just 6.2 points per game and finished the regular season 14th in PFR's Simple Rating System. Johnny Unitas, in his final season as the starter, threw more interceptions (18) than touchdown passes (10).

In the playoffs, the Colts shut out the Bengals 17-0 and beat the Raiders 27-17 but then needed a last-minute field goal to beat the NFC champion Dallas Cowboys 16-13 in Super Bowl V.”

If you ever watch the nfl films episode of this team it’s hilarious because the majority of the episode it’s the team still salty over superbowl 3 :dead: . They never got over that loss that even when they won this superbowl it was like ehh:heh:

The Super Bowl win in V is arguably the worst Super Bowl ever. It's a game with no highlights and lots of fukked up play so I get it.

:gucci:91 REDSKINS OVER THE 85 BEARS?

DAWG.....I was like WTFF? The Slurs had a way better OL, but how they figure that Bears defense was inferior to that Slurs defense?

And the 79 Steelers >>>>>> the 75 Steelers, by a WIDE margin...like, what in the Samuel L Jackson is these fools thinkin?

And leaving out the 86 Giants is flat-out negligence.

The DVOA rating doesn’t say this, btw

You should read the article

Washington had a better offense/special teams, played a tougher schedule and don’t have a loss where they were straight up dominated like the bears did against Miami.

In regards to the Steelers, the 79 Steelers scratched and clawed to put away arguably the worst Super Bowl team ever in the 1979 rams. The fact that this was a game for 90% of it was embarrassing

Fun list. Can't really argue with statistics.
The 1994 49ers was the team I thought would be #1 before I checked it out.

They got hurt for getting blown out by an eagles team that didn’t make the playoffs and facing one of the worst Super Bowl teams ever in the 1994 chargers(to their credit they did destroy them unlike let’s say the 1979 Steelers)

In less than two weeks, either the Kansas City Chiefs or the San Francisco 49ers will win Super Bowl LVIII. There have been 57 Super Bowls since the NFL champion first took on the AFL champion after the 1966 season, which means we have 57 teams in this exclusive club. One more is coming soon.

Some of these teams were dominant from start to finish. Other teams slipped into the playoffs after a mediocre regular season and then went on a shocking postseason run to a title. We've done our best to rank all 57 Super Bowl champions here from worst to best, looking at both the regular season and the playoffs to find the most powerful teams in NFL history.

To rank these teams, I used my proprietary DVOA ratings (explained further here) which look at efficiency on a play-by-play basis adjusted for situation and opponent. For teams prior to the start of DVOA in 1981, I estimated DVOA ratings based on Pro Football Reference's Simple Rating System plus the average margin of victory during the postseason. There's also an adjustment for the first four Super Bowl champions to reflect that the NFL was stronger than the AFL before the merger.



Here are the top 10

10. 1998 Broncos
9. 1995 Cowboys
8. 1975 Steelers
7. 2004 Patriots
6. 1973 Dolphins
5. 1992 Cowboys
4. 1996 Packers
3. 1989 49ers
2. 1985 Bears
1. 1991 Redskins
1978 Steelers should be no lower then #3

Yes sir..and despite, was a missed fg away from going one and done. Big Ben may be a scumbag, but for him to talk the Bus out of retirement and promise him a championship, and then deliver...should go down in NFL folklore.
