Through Wednesdayâs play, 2015 games have averaged about two hours and 56 minutes, according to Baseball Prospectus. If that holds, it will be the first season since 2011 with an average game length under three hours. Last seasonâs games averaged three hours and eight minutes, an all-time high. The 12-minute difference may not seem like much on a game-to-game basis, but over the course of a 162-game season, it means more than 32 fewer hours of gameplay per team â and 32 fewer hours in front of the TV for dedicated fans.
Since 2001, New England had made the playoffs twelve times, reaching the Super Bowl, incredibly, in half of those seasons. The Patriots have won the Super bowl four times over this fourteen-year span, which made me wonder: how many Super Bowls *should* the Patriots have won? This could be measured in a few ways.
Through Super Bowl XLVIII, the Pittsburgh Steelers have won 6 of 8  Super Bowls, as follows:     Won SB IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, and XLIII (9, 10, 13, 14 40 and 43)  â¦defeating in order, the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Dallas  Cowboys again, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona  Cardinals.
