There's one set of data I want to share briefly now that we are talking about the NFC's streak of consecutive Super Bowl titles. The StatMuse search I did a number of posts ago for the records of the NFC vs the AFC since the merger found the following records for the NFC vs the AFC in the years of ...

I remember reading an article that claimed Pierce Holt and Kevin Fagan were actually the same person.

After the Rams won the Super Bowl in 1999, they changed their uniforms and had more of a muted gold than their previous yellow color. I didn't like the new uniforms, in part because I loved their traditional uniforms, but the person who probably hated them the most was Pat Summerall. Isaac Bruce was...

Good thread with SB teams that could, or should have three-peated. What about SB Champions that could, or should have went back-to-back as champions? A look back ... 1969 Chiefs -- In hindsight, I felt this team should have repeated as champions for 1970, following GB before the Dolphins. They dest...

For what it's worth, the team I had in mind was the 1969 Broncos. Weird that is was the same year and the same league. Here's another team: *had two WRs that led the NFL in receiving yards earlier in their careers *had another WR that would go on to win SB titles with two different teams *had two p...

I was thinking of a different team but the 1969 Bengals would also qualify! Now I wonder how many other teams would qualify other than the one I was thinking of. There is actually sort of an interesting link between the 1969 Bengals and the team I was thinking of. :) I guess the thread should be re...

I would have traded Thermal, and he wouldn't have been the only guy I got rid of. Ah yes, the start of 'hot take' reporting with guys dropping in to ESPN to de...

This team had exactly one future HOFer on its roster.
It's head coach won a league championship with a previous team.
A rookie cornerback went on to an over decade long career with 35+ interceptions.

1969 Bengals (?)

1974 Dolphins The Dolphins had beaten the Steelers every year from 1971-1973. Could they have defeated Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship? It would have been a great game. 1976 Steelers Even at full strength, the Raiders had defeated the Steelers in 76 and early in the 77 regular season. I'm not sur...

Where does Elway rank for you CS ? I'm guessing above Steve Fuller? As for Denver always beating Cleveland/Houston, I have three thoughts: 1) You had two of the worst postseason coaches in Schottenheimer & Glanville, three if you include Pardee. But... 2) In a few of the games, two against Clev...
