CORRECTION:

I have to issue a correction to my previous post. When counting "Wild Card teams" winning the Super Bowl from 1993 to 2002, I forgot to account for the difference in league alignment. From that period, there were only three divisions in each conference with three wild card teams in each conference. I had mistakenly accounted the 1997 Denver Broncos and the 2001 Baltimore Ravens - both 4 seeds - as division winners instead of as wild card teams. Thus, there were two occasions in which a wild card team won the Super Bowl in that ten year span, ultimately not that big of a difference from the three that have won this past decade.

Still, the point about the Bye Week remains the same. Teams with the bye week have been noticeably less successful this past decade than the previous decade of NFL seasons.
