In otherwords, does the 4th, and subsequent, titles mean more because of the previous heartbreak? There's more elation of a shocking interception because it happened where the helmet catch took place. In a weird way, maybe it was meant to be that Seattle made that crazy catch. Followed by the Butler pick. As a way to make up for the injustice of 7 years prior. Which occurred in that same exact stadium. Like karma of sorts. Note: I'm not suggesting the Patriots were lucky to win that game. Seattle was lucky to even be in position.
Or, maybe winning the 6th kind of lessens the pain of losing the year previous.
As a Chiefs fan, the 2018 loss doesn't hurt as much because we won a year later. But I still think about the pure elation after the pick to seal a SB berth. Followed by anger when the flag was thrown out. And sadness after the ending. That loss hurts more than the SB to TB. Because in the SB we were never really in it. But I thought destiny was on our side when we came back to take the lead in the championship game.
It's hard to articulate my words. I suppose in a way adversity makes success even that much sweeter. If that makes sense?
