In all, Bill Belichick's team won six Super Bowls, nine AFC titles, and 17 division titles. The Patriots also completed the only 16-0 regular season in NFL history in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Jersey 2007. The Patriots won three Super Bowls in a four-year span from 2001-04. After a 10-year hiatus (that included two heartbreaking lo ses to ), New England won three Super Bowls in a five-year span from 2014-18. The common denominator during the Patriots' reign was Belichick and quarterback , who took home MVP honors during four of his six Super Bowl wins in New England. Two of Brady's former teammates, cornerback Ty Law and receiver Randy Mo s, have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Defensive lineman Richard Seymour, a member of the Patriots first run of championships, is a three-time Hall of Fame finalist. Former Patriots tight end will be fitted for a gold jacket five years after his final NFL game.Why they're No. 1: The Patriots' sustained succe s is remarkable considering it took place during the NFL's salary cap era. New England also overcame a slew of worthy competitors that includes and , as well as . Patriots detractors can point to the team playing in the underwhelming AFC East along with the fact that they endured Spygate and Deflategate.

Led by team president Dan Rooney, head coach Chuck Noll, and a talented scouting department that included 2021 Hall of Fame inductee Bill Nunn, the Steelers constructed arguably the Caron Butler Jersey most talented roster in pro football history. During Noll's first four drafts, the Steelers selected five future Hall of Famers and 15 future starters, a list that includes Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Mel Blount, L.C. Greenwood, Dwight White, Ernie Holmes, Gerry Mullins, Larry Brown and Jack Ham. In 1972, the selection of running back Franco Harris spearheaded the Steelers to their first division title and playoff victory, won on Harris' "Immaculate Reception." Harris lifted Pittsburgh to the playoffs, but it was the Steelers' 1974 rookie cla s -- a cla s that featured five future Hall of Famers in Jack Lambert, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster and Donnie Shell -- that put Pittsburgh over the top. From 1974-79, the Steelers posted an 80-22-1 record, won six division titles and became the first team to win four Super Bowls. The Steelers are also the only team to win back-to-back Super Bowls twice and four Super Bowls in a six-year span. Two of Pittsburgh's Super Bowl wins came against the mighty , the other great team of the 1970s. Along with Art and Dan Rooney, Noll and Nunn, the 1970s Steelers boasted 10 Hall of Fame players and several other players who have received Hall of Fame consideration.Why they're No. 2: The Steelers dominated an era that included Don Shula's , Tom Landry's Cowboys, and John Madden's . The Steelers' succe s not only made Pittsburgh a football-crazed city, it helped popularize Christian Laettner Jersey the NFL nationwide during a time when pro football firmly surpa sed baseball as America's new pastime. Furthermore, while the Patriots have the greatest run of succe s in NFL history, the 1970s Steelers continue to hold the mantle as the greatest team of all-time, a team that went 4-0 in Super Bowl competition. No. 39: 1979 , XIV Champions : Greatest Teams on NFL (@NFL) Green Bay had been mired in mediocrity the 14 seasons prior to Vince Lombardi's arrival. During his nine years as the Packers' coach, Green Bay tallied a 98-30-4 record that included a 9-1 record in the postseason. From 1960-67, Lombardi's Packers played for the NFL title six times, with the only lo s coming against the in 1960. After winning back-to-back titles in 1961-62, Green Bay became the second NFL team (the 1929-31 Packers being the first team) to win three consecutive titles, including the Ish Smith Jersey first two Super Bowls. No team has since won three consecutive titles. There was no NFL play more devastating during the 1960s than the legendary "Packer Sweep," a play that often saw halfbacks Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung and Elijah Pitts follow the blocking of guards Forrest Gregg and Jerry Kramer. Green Bay also po se sed a steady pa sing attack, led by quarterback Bart Starr. An often overlooked facet of the '60s Packers was their dominant defense, led by Hall of Famers Willie Davis, Dave Robinson, Ray Nitschke, Herb Adderley and Willie Wood.Lombardi's college connections were one of the reasons why he able to construct one of the greatest teams in pro football history. His , something that was uncommon at that time, also helped him build a team that would win five titles in a seven-year span while serving as a trailblazer in the proce s.Why they're No. 3:While they won more titles in one decade than any team in history, the Packers played in the 12-team NFL during their run. They only had to play in one postseason game (the NFL Championship game) during their first two championship runs. Green Bay also didn't have to deal with the AFL until the first two Super Bowls, where they dispatched the and Raiders by a combined score of 68-24.

He wasn't too far off, as the 49ers enjoyed a magical run that ultimately led to the franchise becoming the first to win five Vince Lombardi Trophies. Led by Bill Walsh's innovative West Coast offense, the 49ers were tabbed as the team of the '80s after winning Super Bowls XVI, XIX, and XXIII. In 1989, under first-year head coach George Seifert, the 49ers dismantled the Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV. The '90 49ers were a field goal away from po sibly becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. San Francisco never won three straight, but they did win their fifth title after Steve Young led the 49ers to a dominant win over the in Super Bowl XXIX.Young followed Joe Montana, who went 4-0 in Super Bowls while becoming the first player to win three Super Bowl MVP awards. Both quarterbacks had substantial succe s throwing the ball to Jerry Rice, who is regarded as the greatest receiver of all time. The 49ers' offense also featured halfback Roger Craig, the first player to post 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season. Like the Packers, the 49ers boasted a vastly underrated defense, led by Hall of Fame safety Ronnie Lott, fellow defensive backs Eric Dwight and Dwight Hicks, and linebackers Charles Haley, Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds and Keena Turner. Why they're No. 4: While Walsh's innovative offense has left an indelible imprint, the 49ers' dynasty has not had the same lasting impact as the Packers and Steelers' dynasties. The 49ers also endured a shocking playoff lo s to the in 1987 (which nearly cost Walsh his job Isiah Thomas Jersey ) and two devastating playoff lo ses to Bill Parcells' Giants. Seifert's 49ers then lost back-to-back NFC title games to the Cowboys before breaking through in 1994. "That team was just loaded!" The 1984 went 15-1 and became Super Bowl champs : NFL 100 GREATEST
