Since 2009, there have been multiple NFL teams who have lost starters and even stars who missed big chunks or even the whole season and STILL won the SB.

Warren Sharp did a study posted back in Jan, 2023 showing teams that won SBs despite a lot of games missed due to injuries between 2009-2022. Here are a few teams since 2009 that won a SB despite a ton of injuries:

  • New York giants- 2011– won the SB despite losing multiple starters that year.
  • Green Bay packers- 2010– Big Mac has lots of experience managing injuries. His 2010 packer team was a hospital that year.
  • New England pats- won multiple SBs in that period with multiple injuries.
  • New Orleans saints- won a SB in 2009 with more than a few injuries.

I know it’s normal to feel bad about the Travon Diggs injury. He is certainly a loss but this kind of thing happens to even really good teams and they find a way to win anyway. Maybe our fans are still thinking like the Garrett days where missing a single starter for multiple games was known as a losing streak. Doesn’t have to be that way now.
