SbBracketeer

Super Bowl Bracketeer is a gem that displays the entire playoff bracket for any NFL season from 1990-2017.

Additionally, while viewing a particular bracket, the user can enter a team name from the bracket to view
that team's roster with player numbers in numerical order.

Here's an example of a game from a bracket:

02/01/09 Super Bowl XLIII

Arizona Cardinals 23
