Here is a useless stat: when the two teams are not the same seed in the playoffs, the SB team with the higher seed has a record of 17-23 over the history of the game. But, since 2000, the higher-seeded team has been 4-14. ---

With the game in the bag, the Eagles just stopped trying. ---

The Eagles have a couple high quality Superbowl wins, against arguably the top two greatest dynasties in the history of the league. Those are some nice bragging rights. NFC East pulling further ahead of the pack with all four teams now having _multiple_ Lombardi trophies. ---

With 14 Lombardis in total, I’m curious which division has the second-most Super Bowl wins; I’m too tired to research. The Eagles also have prevented two three-peats. They stopped the Patriots and Chiefs from each winning three in a row. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > They stopped the Patriots and Chiefs from each winning three in a row. I thought the Patriots never even made it to three in a row? At least I’m pretty sure that’s what was said during the game, and I’m sure Brady would have corrected it if that were wrong. ETA: OK, I see. The Pats lost in 2017 but they weren’t going for a threepeat. But they did win again in 2018. So, hypothetically, that would have been three in a row. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > I’m curious which division has the second-most Super Bowl wins; I’m too tired to research. Per a reddit thread, it’s AFC West with 10 (Chiefs 4, Raiders and Broncos 3 each, Chargers _cough_ _cough_). ---

I’m not doing all the math, but I’m surprised it’s not the NFC West. 49ers (5), Rams (2), Seahawks (1). But looking at it those teams actually have a lot of losses so maybe they’d be at the top for appearances. The Cardinals not pulling their weight. ---

This site claims to have been last updated in 2021, but I think it’s actually up-to-date as of today (it has Philly at 2 SB wins). [https://mcubed.net/nfl/sbdiv.shtml](https://mcubed.net/nfl/sbdiv.shtml) It has appearances as NFC East with 23, AFC East and AFC West with 21 East, and then NFC West with 17. Poor AFC South only has 5 appearances with 2 wins (both the Colts , one back when they were in Baltimore). ---

But, since 2000, the higher-seeded team has been 4-14. When you say “higher”, do you mean better, or literally higher? For example, a 1 is a better seed than a 2, but a 2 is a literally higher seed than a 1. ---

I’m STILL processing. Watching replay to make sure this actually happened, listening to Eagles Radio WYSP and remembering we destroyed them. So glad for Jalen Hurts. All doubt, all the time online, not today. I apologize if I ever had doubt in this young man winning a SB.
