I like stats and I was wondering what seeds usually get to the SB. I found this infographic that goes from 1975 to 2014 :
The most recent years have been :
2014 - 1 (DEN) - 1 (SEA)*
2015 - 1 (NE)* - 1 (SEA)
2016 - 1 (DEN)* - 1 (CAR)
2017 - 1 (NE)* - 2 (ATL)
Needless to say, it is statistically rare to see teams that are not in the #1 or #2 seeds get to the SB and has not happened since 2012 when the AFC #4 seed, the Ravens, won it all. Since then, only 1 team that was not a #1 seed got there and it was last years Falcons.
Those Rams have defied all expectations though, so we can hope they keep going !
