Seeing Flozell Adams Lose Super Bowl 45 Crushed Kevin Colbert: ‘You Don’t Forget That’

In the NFL, there are few things worse than losing the Super Bowl. Not only is it the biggest game in the world, but it’s also one that’s incredibly difficult to make it back to. Since 2000, only the Patriots, Chiefs, and Seahawks have participated in back-to-back Super Bowls, with the Patriots and Chiefs being the only ones to win both games, in part because they had two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. In that time span, no team has lost the Super Bowl and returned the following year. Knowing you’re probably not gonna make it back hurts, but as former Steelers’ general manager Kevin Colbert explains, it might not be the worst part.
