NO. (SD was a powerhouse, but they only won 1 title...and lost like 4 other AFL titles). 1-4 in AFL title game. Does that constitute a "dynasty"?

I was a die hard NFL (BROWNS) fan back then hey just 1 year older than you -but- had a friend who was a bit "different" sports wise was an AFL fan plus the pirates, etc. I do remember some just merged in with the NFL like Buffalo, Oakland and the Boston Patriots but I can't place another repeating champion.

I do remember that they did have some high flying football which did attract fans......and Pete Rozelle.

Guess Buffalo and ???? Oakland.

Here is today's Trivia Question. This is kind of a two parter, but not really. And this applies ONLY to the Super Bowl era.

A. In the Super Bowl era, there have been Four (4) teams that went from having a losing record the previous season.....to winning the Super Bowl the next year.

B. There have also been 4 other teams who had a .500 record (8-8) the previous season, to winning the Super Bowl the next year.

Name as many of these sub .500 or .500 teams as you can.
