This season they had more scoring drives aided by a penalty that any other team...and more first downs by penalty than other team.
So even when they made mistakes they got more chances to correct them.
That alone gives a team a better chance of winning. Especially when they are a really good team that makes few mistakes anyway.
Just three extra chances a game to try again when you failed can be huge in a single NFL game.
Yep. The point is that no championship team depends solely on being lucky or on being good. Championship teams usually need to be both.
