This was an amazing time to be a sports fan. The whole city cheered together and celebrated long before the Lombardi Trophy was in hand. No other city (or team) has been so arrogant as to record the Superbowl Shuffle before the playoffs began.  They went on to be the only team not to give up a single playoff score.
