Has any team that gave up 55 points in a game ever go on to make or win the SB? Or make the playoffs for that matter??
Super Bowl winning teams highest points given up in 1 game:
49 by the 2011 Giants who beat the Patsies in the Super Bowl.
2nd highest was 48 allowed by the Raiders in 1976 who beat the Vikes in the SB.
So no 50 burgers allowed by the winning SB team.
Several Super Bowl winning teams got smashed at least once in the regular seaon.
Worst loss was the Patsies losing to the Bills 31-0 in Buffalo in 2003. So those teams do get wrecked.
The fact that the Rams came back to "almost" pull this one out says a lot about them. Those other SB teams that got blasted were not in it at the end.
But again, it's how you finish at the end of the year.
