How Super Bowl Winners Fared the Following Season
|
|
I have just been flabbergasted all season long that the Rams have fallen so far, so fast following their Super Bowl win. So that got me to wondering how other Super Bowl teams have fared the following season? I found the article below which answers that question. I highlighted in red those Super Bowl winning teams that had a .500 or below record the following season.
I take solace in the fact that we are NOT the first Super Bowl team to do poorly the next year. I had no idea there were others .
