Season Summary
So there you have it, after a successful season at 14-3, the Rams repeat as Super Bowl Champions. The Buffalo Bills have finally made it to the Super Bowl but came up just short in a great showing. Russell Wilson made a statement in his first season in Denver with over 5000 total yards and 40 touchdowns. The Texans hold the distinction of having the #1 pick in next year's draft, and the Raiders were the most surprising team of the season, earning a coach of the year award for first year HC Josh McDaniels.
