This is a serious question. I know a lot about the history of the NFL, but I’m not a huge stat guy, especially the advanced metrics. But when I look at 1998, I see that the Falcons went 14-2 had the #4 scoring offense, #4 scoring defense, and also led the league in turnover differential at +20. They also had a talented 12-4 49ers team in their division, and split their games with them.
Were the Vikings really leagues better than the Falcons and could have beaten the Broncos, or are they overly romanticized?
