If you want to be seen in that tier, you're gonna have a year or two in a 10 year run where you manage a title that folks didn't really expect you to win. Maybe this is that year.

On the AHPKC podcast they looked at the Pats total DVOA over the Brady years. Turns out most of their best years they didn't win the SB, and on some of their worst, including worst overall, they did with the SB.
