MIA in their glory years 1972 was the 17-0 year and the 71 or 73 was the other SB year, I think it was 72 & 73.

NO.  (SD was a powerhouse, but they only won 1 title...and lost like  4 other AFL titles).   1-4 in AFL title game.  Does that constitute a "dynasty"?

I was a die hard NFL (BROWNS) fan back then hey just 1 year older than you -but- had a friend who was a bit "different" sports wise was an AFL fan plus the pirates, etc.  I do remember some just merged in with the NFL like Buffalo, Oakland and the Boston Patriots but I can't place another repeating champion.

I do remember that they did have some high flying football which did attract fans......and Pete Rozelle.

Guess Buffalo and ???? Oakland.

Not Buffalo AND Oakland.    You have to choose one of the other.

Here is today's Trivia Question.    This is kind of a two parter, but not really.    And this applies ONLY to the Super Bowl era.

A. In the Super Bowl era,  there have been  Four (4)  teams that went from having a losing record the previous season.....to winning the Super Bowl the next year.

B. There have also been 4 other teams  who had a  .500 record  (8-8)  the previous season, to winning the Super Bowl the next year.

Name as many of these sub .500 or  .500 teams as you can.

Two more  sub .500 teams  left  who went on to become SB Champs the next year.

Hint:  both in 21st century

Three other .500 teams

Hint:  These 3 also all won their SB in the 2000s 

To put it this way:   Prior to 1999  only two previous SB winners went from  .500 or worse to win a Super Bowl.  Since 1999 (Rams)    6 teams went from  .500 or below to win SB the next year. 

Free agency a factor?
