Personally I think the NFL dodged a bullet (or made a desired outcome happen).
Only certain NFL teams have much of a fanbase outside their own geography. If we had had a Jacksonville-Philadelphia Super Bowl it wouldn't have been very interesting for most of the oountry, and probably would have had very low ratings - after last season with all the controversy and what appears to me to be a long term decline in the public's interest in the NFL (all football actually).
I think the NFL would have been fine with Dallas, Green Bay, maybe Denver, Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl if the Patriots had somehow fallen. But those teams either lost in the playoffs or never made it in the first place.
My two cents.
