First off, its offensive points scored and defensive points allowed - and what does it matter what other aspects it involves? - its a stat that spans 37 years regardless of any other stuff - what more do you need and why would it make any difference?
And as far as any teams not in the top 10 getting into the Super Bowl - WHo gives a crap?
Its winning it that matters and no other team has EVER done it in NFL History whether they were in it or not.
Both of your questions are for the most part irrelevant to what was in the OP
My points aren't at all irrelevant just because you think they are. I concede that no team has ever won without a scoring offense or a scoring defense in the top 10, but that doesn't prove anything without looking at the teams closer, I'm sorry.
If a team is playing well at the end of the season (for any number of reasons), they are a more dangerous foe heading into the postseason, even if that success is NOT reflected in their overall season numbers. This is plainly the case with the Giants, who as I said were a very streaky team this season, but is currently on a hot streak (which there is no denying).
Furthermore, offensive and defensive points allowed (particularly over a whole season) are far from the most telling statistics when it comes to team quality.
