The best team doesn't always win the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/super-bowl\/\">Super Bowl<\/a>. Look no further than the No. 1 entry on our list for proof of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But such is the beauty of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/nfl\/\">NFL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the NBA, NHL, or Major League Baseball, where a team can lose a game as part of a series and still win a title, the Super Bowl is one game for all the marbles. And it doesn't matter if you've been the better overall team throughout the season. If you're not the best team <em>that day<\/em>, you don't take home a trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the five best teams to lose the Super Bowl.

The Pats, of course, made their way to the Big Game behind a dream season from a young backup quarterback named Tom Brady, who stepped in when <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/drew-bledsoe-legit-almost-died-from-the-hit-that-allowed-tom-brady-to-become-a-legend\/\">Drew Bledsoe legit almost died<\/a> after taking a massive hit early in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone expected St. Louis to take an easy win over New England at the Superdome in New Orleans, but Bill Belichick &amp; Co. didn't get the memo as the Patriots took a 20-17 upset victory on a 48-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri as time expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-1983-washington-commanders-super-bowl-18\">4. 1983 Washington Commanders, Super Bowl 18<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Black Sunday&quot; at the Big Sombrero<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Raiders?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Raiders<\/a> 38, Washington 9<br><br>The Silver-&amp;-Black&#39;s third Super Bowl victory<br><br>Super Bowl XVIII, this date in 1984 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/txk9Hn4odO\">pic.twitter.com\/txk9Hn4odO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Kevin Gallagher (@KevG163) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevG163\/status\/1617188105907277825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 22, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming off a Super Bowl victory following the strike-shortened 1982 season, the team now known as the Washington Commanders was out to prove its championship wasn't a fluke in 1983. And Joe Gibbs' group certainly accomplished that, at least for most of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind an MVP season from quarterback Joe Theismann and an All-Pro campaign from running back John Riggins, who were part of an offense that averaged a league-leading 33.8 points per game, Washington went 14-2 in the regular season. And those two losses were only by one point each. So they were legit only a few points away from a perfect year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After decimating the Rams, 51-7, in the Divisional Round and defeating <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/joe-montana-wouldnt-rank-as-high-as-you-might-think-among-todays-nfl-quarterbacks\/\">Joe Montana<\/a> and the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game, Washington entered Super Bowl 18 against the Los Angeles Raiders as three-point favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Washington certainly didn't look like the better team that day in Tampa as the Raiders, behind a 191-yard, two-touchdown performance from game MVP Marcus Allen, took an easy 38-9 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-1968-baltimore-colts-super-bowl-3\">3. 1968 Baltimore Colts, Super Bowl 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">54 years ago today, the Jets beat the Colts in Super Bowl III - they were 19.5 point underdogs.      <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperBowl?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperBowl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/F5bZ9wXzth\">pic.twitter.com\/F5bZ9wXzth<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TodayInSports (@TodayInSportsCo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TodayInSportsCo\/status\/1613521787156926464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite losing reigning MVP Johnny Unitas to an injury in the preseason, the Baltimore Colts still went 13-1 during the 1968 NFL regular season behind a solid season from backup quarterback Earl Morrall, who won an MVP of his own that year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it certainly helped to have a defense that allowed just 10.3 points per game. And that defense was on display in the NFL Championship Game as the Colts avenged their only loss of the season as they blanked the Cleveland Browns, 34-0, to earn a trip to Super Bowl 3, which was then still called the AFL-NFL Championship Game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing the AFL champion New York Jets, the Colts were <em>heavy<\/em> favorites that day in Miami.
