Since the Buffalo Bills lost Super Bowl 28 to Dallas, only one team has managed to return to the Super Bowl after losing it. There have been 10 straight different SB losers, and only New England managed to return to the big game.
And this includes a few pretty good franchises. The Pittsburgh Steelers have not returned since losing SB-20 even with 4 AFC championship chances. Green Bay has not even sniffed the Super Bowl since losing to Denver. And Tennessee looked like a long-term contender when they lost to the Rams.
Does losing a Super Bowl take that much out of a team these days, or is parity just serving up some one-hit wonders? I say it is parity. In the same amount of time only 2 teams, Denver and New England, have returned after winning. We have had 8 different Champions in the last 10 years. Philly could make it 9 of 11.
