Cool, Super Bowls started before that and the answer is still the same. It would further prove your point. 

I'm perhaps the only one here who remembers the late '60s Bears. They were always a brutally physical nightmare team to play but only mediocre overall. Sayers' knee injury was so sad it felt like a jolt throughout the football community. 

Then in 1969 everything fell apart. Bobby Douglass was a big strong bull rookie quarterback but very little accuracy and no touch. All he could throw were lefthanded howitzers. It looked like that team had a real shot to go winless until they caught a weak team at home and brutalized the Steelers. Everything went right for Chicago in the first half. I remember Summerall and the other famous announcers making a big deal out if it. Nobody wanted to see a legendary franchise like that go winless. One of the major programs even used that Bears victory as the game of the week. That's what they did in that era, pick out one game and show a full half hour's worth of highlights the following weekend. Brookshier was the narrator. You never knew which game it would be but always hoped it was one you hadn't watched live.
