The 5 Worst Teams to Win a Super Bowl

January 19, 2015

Because first things must come first, it’s important to note that truly awful NFL teams never win the Super Bowl. It never happens. If you’re looking for even a .500 team to go all the way once the postseason rolls around, you’re in for a bit of a reality check — or at least, history is not going to be on your side.

That said, not every NFL team is created equal. That holds true for NFL champions as well as perennial basement dwellers, which means that we can put together at least some sort of a ranking system in an order to determine which teams are better than others among those who reigned triumphant at the end of any given season.

To do so, we took a look at Pro-Football-Reference and examined every team that had ever won a Super Bowl, and proceeded to compare them to each other in terms of winning percentage.

Some caveats: In the other direction, if you were looking at the best teams to ever win a Super Bowl, an undefeated team that won eight games out of eight during the regular season would have the same percentage as a team that won 14 games out of 14, when in fact the 14-win team would’ve had a harder time. So for these teams, it’s important to note that many of them are from the modern day and have played more games, and subsequently had more opportunities to lose games.

The Giants should definitely be very high on the list. It seems like more often then not a team steps forward and wins a SB then the following year fades back into mediocrity. The Bucs win and to a lesser degree the Seahawks won with great D and a very simplistic boring offense.

The 1988 49ers? Didn't they repeat the next year?

What a crock. Montana and his teams belonged in every one.


The 2000 ravens vs giants.

Only a defense for the ravens. No offense. Bogey SB.
The giants were so bad. IMO one of the worst NFC reps of all time.

I agree, and remember that year well - it was the first year Dan Snyder tried to buy a championship and we beat both the Ravens and Giants that year, the Giants nearly 2 times. Started 6-2 and wound up 8-8 with an interim head coach the last 3 games of the season.

If only Snyder had learned his lesson after that debacle.

That 2000 Superbowl was the worst ever.

The fricken worst!!!


Offense was shut out. Zero points.

Embarrassing.

Good thing they lost or they would be tied with us at s Lombards.
I would have to move out of ny. Lol

have to diagree on both the pats and 49rs. Both of those teams went on to win SBs in years afterwards and were basically the same team. The pats cratered in 2002 but thee were a lot of factors in that; and then they won back to back SBs.
