PFL Superbowl History

I figured while we are making our way through the offseason, it might be fun to do an article about PFL superbowls. The PFL is currently entering its 49th season, therefore this article will chronicle the 48 seasons of superbowl champions throughout the history of the PFL. Since we are a group of gamers that love statistics, what would be more fun than to know how many different coaches have actually won the coveted Russo trophy. I tallied up the amount of times each individual franchise made it to the big game and what their win/loss record was in PFL superbowls. I went superbowl by superbowl and figured out the winning and losing record of each franchise that has reached the PFL superbowl. I also listed what coaches have won the big game and indicated what coaches have more than one trophy to their name. The only thing that I could not do which would have been fun is list every coach’s win/loss record in the superbowl. Unfortunately, Lenny didn't keep track of who the superbowl losers were each season, he only listed the superbowl champions.

I think it is a true testament to what a realistic, competitive, and top tier madden league Lenny has always run when you look at the numbers. The level of competition in the PFL is unmatched anywhere else in the madden community. When you see that through 48 seasons a whopping 33 different coaches have won the superbowl, only 8 coaches have won the superbowl more than once and that no coach has won a championship more than 5 times through 48 seasons I think that you will agree.
