Dynasties in Super Bowls and How They Haven’t Collected Lombardis with Blowouts

Looked at the top four franchises by Super Bowl wins and found an interesting trend. They tend to win and lose close games, rarely blowouts.

Patriots Margin of victory in wins 3, 3, 3, 4, 6, and 10

Margin of victory in losses 36, 14, 3, 4, 8

Steelers Margin of victory in wins 10, 4, 4, 12, 11 and 4

Margin of victory in losses 10, 6

49ers Margin of victory in wins 5, 22, 4, 45, 23

Margin of victory in losses 3, 11, 3

Cowboys Margin of victory in wins 21, 17, 35, 17, 10 Margin of victory in losses 3, 4, 4

What I find really interesting is the dynasties make the most of their chances in the Super Bowl and tend to play close games, rarely getting blown out in losses and find a way to win the close games. As much as we have had lopsided Super Bowls, these franchises are rarely involved on the losing side.

So while we remember the big wins and larger than life teams, looking at you Bears, the teams that are collecting trophies in the Super Bowl era are the ones that can eke out wins, bounce back from the big game losses and evolve.
