Super Bowl News
In professional American football, the Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. The game and its ancillary festivities constitute Super Bowl Sunday, which over the years has become likened to an unofficial U.S. national holiday.
From 1999 through 2006, only two (Tennessee, 2000 and Seattle, 2006) of the eight teams that lost the previous Super Bowl qualified for the playoffs (and on average the seven teams won 5½ games fewer in the season following a Super Bowl defeat), a collapse known commonly as the "Super Bowl Hangover
This trend, however, is a recent one. Prior to the 2000 season, teams that lost the Super Bowl had qualified for the postseason 26 times in the following season, compared to 24 times for defending champions, a mark that now stands even at 28-28. Overall, defending champions have seen their winning percentage drop further than losers have, albeit by a slight margin.
