Fun with numbers: Colts chances to repeat as SB champs
Credit to our forum member pizzatyme for throwing out this little nugget today:
The Colts became the fourth team to win more games in a season following their Super Bowl victory. The other three all repeated as Super Bowl Champs:
- 1974 & 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers
- 1988 & 1989 San Francisco 49ers
- 1997 & 1998 Denver Broncos
Now for as interesting a statistical nugget as that may be, credit to forum member redman who quickly threw out the obvious monkey wrench (aka the Patriots):
In each of the three other instances, the repeating SB champ had either the best record in their conference, or the best in the league. The Colts obviously don’t this year, which is no surprise given how much of an outlier the Pats’ season has been anyway.
