Best answer yet! Using the definition of "Super Bowl" to exclude the first of the Packers' 3 in a row.
I agree, point-for-point, but I reject it coming from anybody on the Planet. Everybody here wailed and gnashed their teeth when I made statistical comparisons excluding AFL games.
And it's not an "
alleged 3-Peat." The Packers were World Champions three years in a row - the only 3-Peat ever. Never happened before or since, under any name.
And, heaven forbid I remind you, Chiefs haven't done it yet either.
