We've got our Superbowl.

Go basketball!

[O Really]

in the last 50 years, only 10 wild card teams have made it to the Super Bowl. Of those, 6 have won their games, including the last 4 wild card teams to play. No NFL team has played a Super Bowl in its home stadium before. Seven teams have won two Super Bowls in a row, but nobody since 2003-2004. That would be with Brady at QB. But still, those Chiefs are a good team, fershure.

Can anyone name those six team? (No cheating!)

I can think of three.
Raiders over Iggles.
Steelers over Seahawks.
Packers over Steelers.

Oh wait, four.
Giants over Pats.

Fanatic . I only remembered the Steelers with Jerome Bettis in his final NFL game, not even that they beat the Seahawks . Then, I cheated:

You missed:
Denver Broncos over Green Bay Packers in 1997. Shame on you for forgetting a Packers disappointment.
Baltimore Ravens over New York Giants in 2000.

... Wild card teams that made it to the Super Bowl but lost in the title game include the Dallas Cowboys in 1975, New England Patriots in 1985, Buffalo Bills in 1992 and Tennessee Titans in 1999. Of the 10 wild card teams to make the Super Bowl, the Giants, Packers, Patriots and Steelers all had to win three road games in order to make the title game.

The 2005 Steelers were the first to win three road games and then the Super Bowl. Maybe that's why I remember them.

Ironic that the Buccs won three road games and then get a home game.

[GoCubsGo]

I remembered the Steelers win because it was such a miserable game.

I wouldn't have gotten the other two.

Course I remember the 85 Pat's!

You mean the refs or something else?

I'll tepidly root for TB. It will be a real "TB test".

Oh God, please no.



Rumored that the Bears want to unlock Nick Foles potential.

Say that Watson is not available, what then?

Da Bears have a storied history of whiffing on QBs by draft, trade or free agency. It's almost a perfect record.

The list of mediocrity for this year is long. It'll be a placeholder year while searching for a long term solution they won't find.

Not surprising: Brady > Gronk, #13 = best SB tandem ever, beating a tie with Montana > Rice.
Surprising: Brady's first 1st quarter SB TD.

Buccs 7-3.

Edit, 2nd quarter: #14

Wow, the sound mixing really sucks for The Weeknd. I wonder if it's as poor in the stadium. Changing channels.

Good halftime show. Different.

Still wanted a good game though I'm ok with the outcome.

I'm gonna miss football. Long ways til opening day.

Love him or hate him, he is the GOAT.

Stumbled on this from over 1 year ago:

... Time for Brady's last stand?

Got no love for the Pack....

Okay, now I officially hate Green Bay, too.

It's a little ironic since he was with world famous fossil fuel consumer Danica Patrick before her. Talk about a rebound!

BTW, in case you haven't noticed. Aaron Rodgers is bit of a head case.

I hadn't quite buried him.

Seal the Deal!

Does this negate Brady's theoretical retirement?

Mostly.
