Summary
Super Bowl Championships are often won at the top of the roster. But how many blue-chip players does a team need to win it all? How many very good players can stand in for one elite player? Robert Mays and Nate Tice dig into those 10 Super Bowl Champions and two runners-up over the last 12 years to draw some lessons from them, and apply them to this season, on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
