Which Super Bowl runner-up had the best record the next season?

The only undefeated team in NFL history had its perfect season following a Super Bowl loss.
The Miami Dolphins went 10-3-1 in 1971 before falling to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI. Don Shula’s team rebounded with the only undefeated season in NFL history, going 14-0 in the 1972 regular season before beating Washington 14-7 in Super Bowl VII.
As if the perfect season and franchise’s first Super Bowl victory weren’t enough, the Dolphins went back-to-back by beating the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII the next season.
The 1970 Cowboys and 2017 New England Patriots are the only other teams to lose the Super Bowl and bounce back to win the title the next season. Five additional teams reached the Super Bowl in consecutive seasons but lost both times.

First team that came to mind is the Patriots with Tom Brady.. That's all I got at a quick glace into this thread.

The cabinet was empty. He found a bottle he stashed behind his shed out back. But, LOL on that one.

So, Uncle Billy....3 teams ever have done it. That's not a high % but enough to where it could still happen so Philly has a chance still.
