I was wondering the other day, would it be possible to end the season

4-10-6 winning the superbowl?

and as a follow up, which was the team with the worst record to win the SB?

I looked it up but I couldn't find any stat about that

Of the SB teams none has won with 8 or less regular season wins except the strike shortened year the Redskins won with an 8-1 record. The 9 win teams who won are:

1967 Green Bay 9-4-1
2011 Giants 9-7

So I'd say Giants

I just remembered the seahawks being the first playoff team with a losing record, I would definitely be strange to see a team win the superbowl with that many losses
 
yeah, 2010 Seahawks went 7-9 and won their division, and beat the Saints in the first round, iirc.

I could see a weak division like the AFC South doing something like that.

If indeed it was possible to end the season 4-10-6 I would love to see that happening :D

:thinking: Didn't the Ravens also have a pretty suck @$$ year a few years back when they barely made the playoffs and won?

Having trouble trying to follow your numbers here...

4 wins?
10 losses?
6 ties??

Please explain that to me.

yes

4 playoff wins (to win the superbowl from a #4 seed)

10 losses (to have the worst season possible)

6 ties (the division games, win the division at the tiebreaker)

of course this is unrealistic, but it would be the same if the record was

7-13 (4 playoff wins + 3 division wins + 3 division losses + 10 other losses)

In my opinion 4-10-6 is worse than 7-13 because you go to the playoffs with zero wins.
 
If we really live in a multiverse where there is a universe for each possible outcome to every possible choice that has ever existed, then somewhere out there there is a universe where an 0-10-6 team goes to the playoffs and wins the Super Bowl every year.

I can't conceive of a scenario - in any universe - where all four teams in a division went 0-10-6....
