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.
For a regular season, the 2007 New England Patriots with 16 regular season wins (16-0) and 18 total wins, losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. The 1984 San Franciscâ¦o 49ers won 15 games in the regular season and went on to win the Super Bowl. That gave them 18 wins for the season.
