The Vikings lost 4 in 8 years in the 70s but I have no idea if anyone was there for all 4. I thought Tarkenton may have been, but I forgot he went to the Giants for a few years in between Vikings stints and missed the first one.
Fran wasn't there for SB IV but a number of the defenders (Eller, Page, Marshall) were there for all four.
Eleven Vikings were on all four teams according to this aticle.

California. Duh.
Again, how is kanas city allowed to have this many fans?
Out here the 49ers were not only denied having fans, they wouldn't even let opposing teams travel here (so they had to go play "home" games in AZ). Having no league-wide standard for this is silly. Teams shouldn't get an advantage because they happen to play in a state with leadership that ignores health guidelines.

This is probably discussed ad nauseum in other threads, but what's the consensus on what Brady does on the Pats this year?

Brady seems like he is worth 4-5 wins. What were Pats with Bledsoe, what happened when he went out. The 16-0 team went to 11-5.

This year they probably go minimum 10-6, Max 12-4

Brady has been to as many Super Bowls (10) as Montana (4), Peyton (3), Brees (1), Rodgers (1), and Marino (1) combined. And now he's done it with his second team.

It's absolutely insane.

I have to say - kicking a field goal on that last Packer's possession never even crossed my mind until I saw the kicker take the field. Still can't fathom any good case for it. Not only are you handing the ball to the greatest QB of all time - you still need a touchdown but probably from ten times as far away with no timeouts.

I feel like I should be more into this game given the talent level but I like Mahomes and McDermott so I don’t care that much.

“Is the player the face of the league?”

Yes: X No:

“Yeah, he’s good. Send him out there.”
It's far from conclusive evidence given the murkiness of concussions and after-effects, but Mahomes looked very normal jogging into the lockerroom after leaving the game last week.

Bro, I had to go get takeout so I had YouTubeTV set up on my phone but wasn’t looking at it too closely and tv pbp is weird when you aren’t looking at the screen. I was absolutely shocked when Buck said something about kicking.

I guess I’m actually rooting for the Bills because I felt happy when I saw that fumble.

another special teams turnover in the playoffs for the Chiefs deep in their end... it's not the Texans this time.
