Nah man. The Patriots and Niners that year were both all time great teams in their own ways as well. Both actually were better than the Broncos.

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

I have tons of respect and credit for Eli. I'm an Eagles fan and even though he only beat The Eagles under 7 or 8 times in his career; he won a lot of games no one thought he should and had a quick, accurate release and never got rattled. He was better than his brother in playoffs but not many care to admit it.

[@Guy_Incognito1]

Excellent point. As a Giants fan, Eli could drive me crazy with some of his decision making. But he seemed to play his best in the biggest moments, while Peyton was the opposite: flawless in the regular season, only to lay a dud in the playoffs. Interesting that the Giants and Eagles are the only 2 teams to win a SuperBowl (and all of their playoff games) without their starting QB.

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

@@Guy_Incognito1 Yep. They're the only two teams.

[@34BlackJack]

iirc, it's the 1990 giants & 2017 eagles that won it all w/o their original starting quarterbacks.

[@johnchedsey1306]

I lived in Colorado in 1998 and Seattle in 2013 so I saw pretty much all their games in both those seasons. Despite the fact I have always hated the Broncos and especially John Elway, I will, without hesitation, call that 1998 team one of the best I've ever seen. They were a freaking juggernaut and often had games won by the end of the 1st quarter. Hell, Bubby Brister started a few games and they still were unstoppable. We were cheated of potentially the greatest super bowl ever by the Vikings forgetting to finish the NFC championship game. Seattle's 2013 team was also damned good. People talk about the Legion of Boom, but this was the point where Wilson, who was once a great quarterback, had found his NFL game and was kick-ass all year long. The offense clicked. Golden Tate had to take on a #1 receiver role and balled out. Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse were integral pieces in making plays happen when needed. That bomb in the NFC game to Kearse was the moment we all knew Wilson had arrived. I would also argue that the 2013 Seahawks were one of the all time best teams.

[@Doakey]

I think the 2012 Ravens deserve a shout for this as their Super Bowl run was marked by tough matchups against prime Andrew Luck, playing against Manning and Brady away, and defeating a tough 49ers squad with Flacco scoring 11 TDs and no interceptions throughout the run. The mile high miracle against the Broncos and the AFC championship rematch against the Patriots showed their great perseverance through those tough opponents

Andrew Luck was actually a rookie during that season, but your points about winning over Manning and Brady on the road are valid.

[@darrenroberts9622]

I'd like this updated to see how the '23-'24 Chiefs Super Bowl ranks. They beat Miami in the frigid cold, then had to go on the road to beat the 2-seeded Bills, then on the road to beat the 1-seeded Ravens, then beat the 1-seeded 49ers, who were said to have arguably the best roster in the NFL.

[@bigchungus1848]

The 07 Giants beat a Stout Bucs team, a 13-3 Tony Romo led Cowboys team, and a 13-3 Aaron Rodgers (Future HOFer) led Packers team all in enemy territory. Then they beat the greatest football team of all time in the Super Bowl. The 2023 Chiefs run pales in comparison.

[@CRMdrifter]

But when your doing an average you're also leaving out the fact that some teams had to play more games on their playoff run which I think also contributes to the difficulty.

[@tubfrog]

No because if a team plays 4 teams then you divide the teams srs scores by 4, but if they play 3 teams then you divide it by 3 so there’s no advantage. Obviously an SRS score doesn’t measure how good a team is, but I thought it would be fun to use statistics to see at who had to play the hardest teams

[@CRMdrifter]

@@tubfrog No I understand that. I'm just saying that the average SRS score (or an average of anything for that matter) doesn't show the fact that 4 games is simply harder to win than 3 most of the time. Say a team had to win 4 games all against teams with an SRS score of 4, and another team had to win 3 games against teams all with an SRS score of 5, the average SRS score would say that the second team would have it harder (even though the total would be lower making it debatable) simply because an average reflects 100% quality and 0% quantity.

[@tubfrog]

@@CRMdrifter true and that’s why it’s nowhere near perfect but I think it’s worth looking at anyway

[@CRMdrifter]

@@tubfrog I'm not even saying that using an average rather than a total is necessarily wrong, it's just unfavorable to teams such as the 2012 Ravens, last years Rams. or any team that won a super bowl without a first round bye. Definitely still worth looking at nonetheless.

@@tubfrog Not saying a total is great either considering it punishes teams for doing well in the regular season.

Don't forget the 1990 Giants. After defeating the Bears at home, they had to beat the back to back Champion 49ers in SF, then they had to beat the Bills in SuperBowl 25. And they won all 3 playoff games without their starting QB, former SuperBowl MVP Phil Simms.

[@whitemamba24xe98]

The 2005 Steelers should’ve been a top 3. Considering they were 7-5 through 12 games, they NEEDED to win out+get help just in order to clinch the 6 seed. Once there, they beat the 3 seed Bengals In Cincinnati. Then they beat a heavily favored 14-2 Colts in Indy ( most analysts had them winning the Super Bowl, especially after New England got knocked out) Then the Steelers beat the 2 seed Broncos in Denver in the AFC Championship game. They proceeded to the Super Bowl and beat the number 1 seed Seattle Seahawks with the leagues best offense, and the league MVP Shaun Alexander. I think is one of the most impressive runs considering how the Steelers had virtually no shot to make the postseason during the last month of 2005. Once they got in, they were underdogs every game, and they became the first team in postseason history to beat the 1, 2, and 3 seeds in the playoff bracket , all in one go. First team to win 3 road playoff games in one go. And they were the first team to be a 6 seed team and win the Super Bowl. Plus that Steelers team had a pretty meh offense and a good, but not great defense. I think it was a damn impressive run and certainly a very tough run considering the factors and variables that came into the picture. 2005 Steelers should be top 3 atleast

[@Mooniastar_13]

Further, they had to play every game on the road which means playing at Lambeau in 30 below freezing for the NFC title game. The other three teams got to play their pre-SB games at home.

I find interesting that only 3 of the top 10 teams on the list of hardest superbowl winners are NFC teams. This implies that the path to the superbowl through the playoff is harder for AFC teams because there are more diificult teams on the AFC side to face in the playoffs with higher average SRS. This is even more supported when you consider that two of the NFC teams in the top 10 are the giants teams who faced the patriots in the superbowl and the patriots extremely high SRS both times probably significantly weighted the giants final average opponent SRS.

[@tuckerderrick8741]

I think this stems from the fact that historically the NFC is usually more balanced out and the AFC has been top heavy, meaning the AFC teams usually have higher SRS's from the regular season. Also there are 4 NFC teams in the top 10, the '92 Cowboys are at 7.

The AFC is a much easier conference than the NFC. for literally 2 decades every year they sent either tom brady, peyton or rothlisberger to the super bowl. the worst teams are in the AFC the worst division is in the AFC. the all time win loss of AFC teams playing against NFC is below 500. In the 80s the AFC lost the super bowl 13 times in a row.

The hardest Super Bowl I could design would be a 7 seed beating the 4 best teams in the league in close games. 2nd seed in the wild card, 1st seed in the divisional, 3rd seed/5th seed (depending on division locations) in the CC, 1st seed in the Super Bowl. So in our year, it would be the Lions beating the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, then the Chiefs for a ring. Winning all close games where they’d probably be big underdogs. Bonus points if the 4 teams were extremely talented relative to other years. So you’d be the regular season runt in a top heavy conference, then face down the undisputed best team in the other conference in the Super Bowl. Ironically close games are more difficult than blowouts, since in blowouts you are supposed to take the foot off the gas and play conservative to finish. If the game is a brawl from kickoff to 0:00, you have to play extremely aggressive the whole time, which is more difficult.

I’ve always felt that the 2008 Steelers were one of the biggest SB winner question marks. First off, as Barry McCockiner has repeatedly brought up, Pittsburgh never beat Brady’s Pats in the playoffs and they didn’t have to play him that year. But beside that, they actually didn’t beat a single first-round bye team that entire year, not even in the playoffs. It’s taking nothing away from the Cardinals for getting to the Super Bowl that year, but they only had a 9-7 record. To me, that’s not enough of a challenge to prove yourself as the undoubted best team of the year.

The Cardinals’ defense was among the worst in the league that year, and a much better one may have prevented that game-winning drive. Think about the AFC Championship game: the Ravens had a great defense too and only allowed Pittsburgh’s offense to score one touchdown. The game was close the entire time, and it was Polamalu who had to step up and make the play to shift the tide.

You should add all the numbers up to make a total. Teams that didn’t have a first round bye should be ranked as harder as they had to play one more game.

[@chicagodude8888]

The 2004 Pats mean playoff opponent SRS, subtracting the Eagles week 16:17 losses and the Colts week 17 loss where they rested their starters was roughly 10.57 defeating the *12-3 Colts, *13-1 Eagles and 15-1 Steelers.

[@JonnyBoi12]

Coming back being down 28-3 midway through the 3rd Quarter is the most improbable Superbowl victory of all time.

[@HeadCannon19]

I don't think the average SRS is a good determiner of how hard their schedule was, because a team with a first round bye who plays 3 really good teams will have a higher AVERAGE than a team who plays a decent team in the wild card round and then 3 really good teams, but the wild card team who had to play 4 games, including beating a playoff team just to get to where the first team started, obviously had a harder playoff run

[@samblackett]

Easily the 2017 eagles. Backup QB, 2nd year coach against a tough falcons team, elite Vikings defense (embarrassed them 38-7) then won probably the most epic shootout of all time against the Patriots dynasty in the Super Bowl. World was against them and they still came out on top

[@dantesinfernopurgatory7826]

Umm, no. 2017 Eagles were the NFC's top seed with a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. And held that great aging Patriots team to 33 points. The wildcard 2007 Giants played every game on the road and beat the #4-seed (at Tampa), #1-seed (at Dallas) and #2-seed (at Green Bay in -23 degree weather). Then they beat the 18-0 Patriot juggernaut - holding them to 14 points. The wildcard road warrior Giants (10-1 on the road that year) had an infinitely tougher road to their Super Bowl than the #1-seed 2017 Eagles.

[@BudgetBreakdown74]

VERY surprised 2012 Ravens weren't higher, played tom brady and peyton manning on the road, and played a pretty good 49ers team I dont know too much about

[@lrkcm373]

I’d give it to teams that barely even made the playoffs yet won it all.

[@treymagathan847]

I refuse to believe that the 2019 Chiefs is ranked so low when they came back from multi-score deficits in every single postseason game and finished with a 12-4 record in a tough ass AFC.

[@geordiejones5618]

Bro playing bad against mid teams and then having to claw yourself out of holes doesnt mean those mid teams are better than they are. They just played down to competiton and then the 49ers were legit.

[@B3Band]

When the Skins win a championship, everybody sees it coming. When the broncos win one, it's a gauntlet (though the 2nd one back to back I seen to remember being a pretty easy run)

[@MrInterVention149]

We lost out on way could have been the most action oriented super bowl of our lives in the '98 season. Minnesota fell to Atlanta and we got blowout. What could have been...

[@WillKnapp18]

My top 4 would be #4: '98 Broncos #3: '05 Steelers #2: '76 Raiders #1: '17 Eagles The Eagles lost there potential MVP QB mid season, secured the #1 seed with a backup QB. They barely beat the Falcons, and beat a pretty dominant Vikings squad with an emerging Stephon Diggs. They played a very strong Patriots offense in SB 52, in which Tom Brady lit it up with over 500 passing yards and 3 TDs. The Eagles were underdogs in every playoff game they played, despite being the #1 seed in the NFC. Very few expected them to beat the Patriots, let alone execute one of the best trick plays in Super Bowl history.

[@erickennedy3322]

80 Raiders , 97 Broncos, 01 Patroits, 07 Giants, and 05 Steelers top 5 hardest ways to when the Super Bowl.

[@JoshB42069]

Has to be the 07 Giants for me. Beat probably the best Cowboys team since mid 90s, beat Favre in GB in -20F weather, then beat the undefeated Pats, all narrow victories.

[@crittoneida958]

16:15 steeler fan here.....in all fairness Franco and rocky blier were out due to injuries from the Baltimore divisional round the week before....not saying steelers win with their starting RBs in but let's not ignore that they were out & and would have made some difference.....

[@Channel-23s]

As for the 2016 Pats coming into the SB the Atlanta Falcons were a top 10 All time Offense and the New England Patriots were missing Gronk aka there great TE Weapon

[@goldenstatewarriors9418]

2004 Patriots and 2012 Ravens deserve have a case also. 2004 Patriots beat MVP Peyton Manning’s Colts with the best offense in the league, beat the 15-1 Steelers on the road, and then a 13-3 Eagles team in the Super Bowl. 2012 Ravens dominated the Colts in Andrew Luck’s first year, then went on the road to Denver and beat the 13-3 Broncos led by Peyton Manning, then outscored the Patriots 21-0 in the second half of the AFC Championship, giving Brady his only home AFC Championship loss, and then beat a very talented 49ers team in the Super Bowl.

[@MonnyYell]

Defeating 18-0 🤔 as a wild card team

A Raiders fan praising the Raiders. What a surprise.🙄

[@jameshallas3910]

I love data and statistics based lists like this. While obviously, objectively, we know there are more factors into what makes a playoff run harder or easier than others, stats aren't objective. They are concrete. So whether you take this list as a standalone gospel and quote it, or use it as a basis to put perspective on your own analysis, it is a very useful compiling of data that makes for a very well put together video. Thank you for making it.

[@timfortune9]

So Gary Anderson and the last time the Vikes even made it to a Super Bowl. A proud purple wearer and I just think "Pain, pain, pain..."

[@EmmaBonn96]

The 76 Raiders don’t get enough respect.

[@broyd]

Hardest Super Bowl game to win was the eagles they had to beat Tom Brady in his beat Super Bowl performance

[@Bullboy_Adventures]

8:57 as a texans fan, it pains me to see that
