why do I need to consider all the data? why do I need to consider any data?

maybe we have a philosophical difference on the point of the playoffs.

the 01 Rams dominated the 01 Pats in various stats that year. if they played that Super Bowl 10 times, the Rams probably win 7. but none of that really matters to me. did the Rams have a better season? Yep. Were they more talented? yep.

but could they step up, make key adjustments in the heat of the moment, and play their best when they needed to, on the one day of the year that really mattered?

No. so they were not deserving champions.
