Weakest combined top-seeds within same season since the merger?

Seeing both the Pats & Bears respectively ahead of each conference thus far, and many likely not seeing either of them as 'best' in their conference, inspires this thread. From Colts/Vikings in '70 to all the way thru last year's Chiefs/Eagles, and all in-between, who do you consider the weakest such two-some?
Me? I admittedly think '92. San Fran was SB-caliber to me, but not too much so; I thought Dallas was better going in (winning at Candlestick by 10 did not surprise me). It's my 11-5 Steelers in Cowher's first year who may be weak enough to bring both of them down.
2021...considering that I felt defending-Champs, Tampa Bay, were the best team all along and not Green Bay, and thinking Titans not being all that special, makes that two-some a candidate as well.
If you like, you can also mention a late-season two-some such as aforementioned current Pats/Bears.
