The Ten WORST Defending Super Bowl Champions

The reigning Super Bowl champions always have a target on their backs, and sometimes that has a negative effect on their success. We count down the ten teams who had the worst seasons following their triumph in the Super Bowl.

In this video, I refer to Super Bowl 21 as Super Bowl 20, and I neglected to mention that the 1975 Dallas Cowboys were the first wild card team to advance to the Super Bowl. The former was simply misspoken. The latter was a mistake on my part. Thank you to those in the comments who pointed this out.

Explanation of C-Score:

C-Score is a metric created by this channel to assign an overall value to a football team. It takes a team's:

-Results, including standard and Pythagorean W-L record
-Performance, including game control and play-by-play production
-Quality of opponents, specifically performance level against opponents

and distills all of that into one cumulative and comparative score reflecting the context of the season in question. When applicable, a team's playoff performance is also included.

A C-Score of 0 represents an average football team, whereas anything above 0 represents an above average team and anything below 0 represents a below average team.

A team's record is important, but not always indicative of C-Score. An 11-5 team can rate higher than a 13-3 team or lower than a 9-7 team. Not all records are created equally.
