Kneel to Win! Fallacy of the Day

The team that has led the NFL in passing yards has never won the Super Bowl.

Well golly gee, I wonder why. (Hint: It has nothing to do with the effect of high passing yardage, but rather the main cause.)

What Other People Say

I dont think you are quite accurate; I think it is more of a fluke than anything else. Almost none of these guys played for a bad team that was constantly playing catchup. They just haven't managed to get over the hump.

Note that the opposite (rushing champions often win Super Bowls) isn't true; it has only happened four times, and three of those were by the same man.
