Given that we're closing in on the Super Bowl, I thought I'd pose a Super Bowl question.
The 49ers lost to the Baltimore Ravens 33-19 a few weeks back. It wasn't close to the worst regular season loss by a Super Bowl champion (cart waaaaaaay before the horse, I know). Five Super Bowl champions lost a game during the regular season by at least 30 points. Can you name the five? Here's the set up:
_________ lost 38-3 to the Saints (35)
_________ lost 40-8 to the Eagles (32)
_________ lost 48-17 to the Patriots (31)
_________ lost 31-0 to the Bills (31)
_________ lost 43-13 to the Texans (30)
The really interesting part is that three of the losing teams ended up beating the above winners in the playoffs. For extra credit, name the three winning teams.
The 40-8 game featured SF and Philadelphia. The lasting memory of that beauty was Young stomping around saying evil things about Seifert after he was pulled from the game. That was a classic “laid an egg” game.
