Since 1975, 11% of 4th seeds have made it to the Super Bowl (3rd most by seed) and 5 have won it, with 4 being from the AFC. This is the 3rd time the Bengals have had the 4th seed (1975/2009). Here are the percentages by seed:
#1 Seed - 54.4%
#2 Seed - 21.7%
#3 Seed - 4.4%
#4 Seed - 10.9%
#5 Seed - 4.4%
#6 Seed - 4.4%
Like CJ said - 'why not us?'
Good stuff, Holic.
I would bet a lot of money that the #1 seed will not make the Super Bowl this year (in the AFC). Even if they have Henry back, and I love Vrabel as a coach.
Right now, they are playing as well as any team in the NFL and if they can stay healthy, they have a great chance of making a real run here.
First up, they must face the dark side and the ghost of John Madden. I think they get it done.
