Some teams score more often than Tom Brady at a horny housewives’ convention. But it usually takes a truly great team – one with looks and money (i.e., a defense) – to score with both Hollywood starlets and Brazilian supermodels (i.e., win a Super Bowl).

Here's a look at the most prolific offenses that went on to win a Super Bowl. If you want to see a list of all the most productive offenses of the Super Bowl Era, you'll find that here.

GREATEST SUPER BOWL-WINNING OFFENSES

Team	Record	Points Scored	PPG
1999 Rams	13-3	526	32.88
1994 49ers	13-3	505	31.56
1998 Broncos	14-2	501	31.31
1991 Redskins	14-2	485	30.31
1968 Jets	11-3	419	29.93

No surprise here: The 1999 Rams, the Greatest Show on Turf, fielded the most prolific offense ever to win a Super Bowl. They rank as the No. 5 offense of the Super Bowl Era. But all four of the teams ahead of them, including the 2000 Rams, failed to win the Super Bowl.

In fact, that 1999 Rams squad was the most dominant team ever to win a Super Bowl. They outscored their opponents that year by an average of nearly 18 PPG. But, as we noted elsewhere, they faced a ridiculously easy schedule that season.

What is surprising is that just those 1999 Rams are the only one of the 10 most prolific offenses of the past 41 years that went on to win the Super Bowl.
