1971:

Super Bowl: New Orleans over Cincinnati (20-12) (RL: Dallas over Miami)

Super Bowl MVP: Archie Manning (10/20, 249 yards, 2 TD, 4 rushes, 35 yards)

Playoffs
AFC: Cincinnati, Oakland, Kansas City, Miami (RL: Baltimore instead of Oakland, Cleveland instead of Cincinatti)
NFC: New Orleans, Minnesota, Washington, Dallas (RL: San Francisco instead of New Orleans)

Passing Yards: John Hadl (SD) (3,256)
Rushing Yards: John Brockinton (GB) (1,121)
Receiving Yards: Otis Taylor (993)

Note: Miami went undefeated in the regular season (14-0), with their closest win being a one point escape where they scored 14 points in the final 6:45 to beat Baltimore 17-1m , but in the playoffs Miami's 0 had to go, and it did in the AFC championship game, as their offense never got going, losing to Cincinnati 23-6.

I won't say there's a problem with the season stats here, but it's highly suspicious that a real ife 4-8-2 (New Orleans) team played a real life 4-10 team (Cincinnati). Looking at the #'s for cincinatti, they're at least within the same ball park (within 200 yards passing, 60 yards less in rushing)..for New Orleans, it's the same thing, except with a defense that gave up 400 yards less receiving... so I guess it's how the ball bounces!
