Interesting stat: The last time there was a matchup in the Super Bowl where neither franchise had won a title, was in 1986 between the New York Giants and Denver Broncos. (alien.top)
 

Just thought it was an interesting stat that we have not had a matchup in almost 40 years where both teams had never won a Super Bowl before. Every game since then has featured at least one team having won the title before. It makes sense as the league has been around for longer, the odds of this happening will happen less frequently, but it does seem like a very long time where teams from each conference have featured at least one previous winner.

Man the afternoon slate is ROUGH. Browns/Broncos being the best of the batch is probably not the best sign lol.

The last time the Minnesota Vikings won a game by more than two scores, was December 15th 2019. They beat the Chargers at StubHub Center 39-10. (alien.top)
 

Just thought it was an interesting stat in almost four full seasons, every win has been closely competitive where a team was within 1-2 scores. Has any other team endured a stretch where they didn't beat a team by 3 scores or more for this long?

Josh McDaniels Was Supposed to Take the Raiders to the Next Level. He Made Them an Embarrassment. in c/nfl@nfl.community

If anyone thought McDaniels was going to take a team to the next-level, they might have just been mistaken thinking it was "McDaniel" and just assumed it was the same person.

With the season-ending injury to Kirk Cousins, the Vikings streak of not having a QB start all games in back to back seasons continues. (alien.top)
 

Last time was 1972-1973 with Fran Tarkenton, prior to the 16-game expansion.

Kirk came the closest since 2018.

2018 - 16 games

2019 - 15 games (rested Week 17)

2020 - 16 games

2021 - 16 games (missed Week 17 due to Covid)

2022 - 17 games

The last time the Vikings started a rookie QB was Teddy Bridgewater in 2014 against the Atlanta Falcons. On Sunday the Vikings will be starting rookie QB Jaren Hall against...the Atlanta Falcons. (alien.top)
 

The Vikings would end up winning 41-28 in that first start. Only player to be a part of both teams is Harrison Smith.
