two SB titles (won with ridiculously inferior teams, btw) can't wipe that taste from out of your mouth?  how about the Eagles Miracle at the Meadowlands pt 2 in 2010?

2. Objectively, Super Bowl 42 from Feb. 3, 2008 deserves mention, even if you are no Pats fan. They had a chance to go 19-0 and win a championship, but lost to the inconsistent NY Giants, 17-14 in the S.B.

That's not "worst defeat", that's "greatest victory."  Let's get our words right here.
