The broncos are the first team to record less than 200 yards of offense in a super bowl and win. The other seven teams to do that all lost. Gonna have to go through the stats, because holy hell has a super bowl winning defense ever had to overcome such a horrible offense?

???

The Broncos have 231 yards of offense, no?

Nope, after taking sacks and tackles for a loss into consideration the broncos only netted 194 yards of total offense.

Possibly Ravens/Giants.

From the stats the broncos offense is around the same level as the 2000 ravens and 2002 bucs, maybe actually a tiny bit better overall in yardage, but their offense gave up way more turnovers, and that's a big difference.  I'm still mulling over a lot of stats, trying to aggregate scoring defenses with defensive scores removed but it's a bit more difficult to find that information than I had anticipated.  That and I'm watching and listening to about a dozen different things at once.
