Everyone worries about ending the season on a losing streak and carrying that into the playoffs. In this case that week off allowed them to get back to themselves and they played well afterwords.
I think this is the first year both #1 seeds made it to the SB in about 10 years or so.
Try
sixteen years. Prior to this season, Dallas and Buffalo met as number one seeds in Super Bowl XXVIII. In retrospect, the top two seeds met during the 23 seasons between Super Bowl IX and that Super Bowl
eight times:
Super Bowl XXVIII Dallas Cowboys vs. Buffalo Bills
Super Bowl XXVI Washington Commanders vs. Buffalo Bills
Super Bowl XXIV San Francisco 49ers vs. Denver Broncos
Super Bowl XIX San Francisco 49ers vs. Miami Dolphins
Super Bowl XVIII Los Angeles Raiders vs. Washington Commanders
Super Bowl XVI San Francisco 49ers vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Super Bowl XII Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos
Super Bowl XI Oakland Raiders vs. Minnesota Vikings
