Super Bowls matter, possibly more than they should, when we discuss the careers of everyone in the NFL.
Win a Super Bowl ring, especially as a head coach or quarterback, and you're put in a different class. There are some good quarterbacks who are judged as great and are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame because they were on an incredible team that won a championship.
Fair or not, those are the stakes for everyone in the NFL's final four over the rest of the season. Win a championship, your legacy is set. Come up short, you might be forgotten far too soon.
