Top 10 Best Super Bowl teams
http://tinyurl.com/agu64m
1. Super Bowl XX - Chicago Bears
The 1985 Bears encompassed all you could want in a Super Bowl champion -- a
dominant team that finished the regular season 15-1, smashing defensive
records in the process. Plus they had plenty of flavor, as judged by their
classic "Super Bowl Shuffle" rap video that became a trend-setter among 1980s
sports teams. Throw in wild personalities like Jim McMahon, William
"Refrigerator" Perry plus head coach "Iron" Mike Ditka and even defensive
coordinator Buddy Ryan (pictured), and it's no wonder Chicago couldn't
sustain its invincibility. But for one 1985 season and 46-10 blowout of New
England on Super Sunday, no team was ever better.
2. Super Bowl XXIV - San Francisco 49ers
For all the genius of legendary 49ers head coach Bill Walsh, it's somewhat
bizarre that San Francisco's most dominant Super Bowl team came the year
after Walsh retired following his third Super Bowl title in 1988. Replacement
head coach George Seifert was the beneficiary of an incredible postseason run
as the 49ers blew out their three playoff opponents by a combined 126-26.
Wow. That's what we all said after witnessing the best offensive show in
Super Sunday history, with Jerry Rice and Joe Montana (both pictured) leading
a 55-10 win over the Broncos.
3. Super Bowl VII - Miami Dolphins
Only one team pops champagne each year to celebrate the last unbeaten team
losing its first game -- the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Whether or not it bugs you,
it's still an impressive feat to go undefeated and untied for the entire
regular season and playoffs. Some critics have tried to "poo-poo" the
accomplishment, using today's "strength of schedule" standards since those
Dolphins played only two regular season games against teams with winning
records (Chiefs and Giants, both 8-6). What they failed to mention: Miami
beat the 10-4 Browns and 11-3 Steelers in the playoffs, then came a Football
Follies blocked FG-turned touchdown off the foot of kicker Garo Yepremian
from shutting out the 11-3 Redskins in the Super Bowl, winning 14-7.
4. Super Bowl XIX - San Francisco 49ers
For a 15-1 team (only loss by a field goal) that obliterated nearly every
team in their path in 1984, these Niners seem to get overshadowed at times
when looking back through Super Bowl history. All the hype entering Super
Bowl XIX centered around the QB matchup of Joe Montana and Miami's young gun
Dan Marino, who had shattered passing records throughout the '84 season. But
the Niners had the league's 2nd-ranked offense in the league, and the No.
1-ranked scoring defense in football. Great defense (and Montana) beat great
offense, as the 49ers won easily, 38-16.
5. Super Bowl XXVII - Dallas Cowboys
The first of the three Super Bowls won in the 1990s by the Cowboys was the
most impressive and imposing. After losing an early-season Monday night
showdown at Philly, the Cowboys immediately took control of the league and
finished an NFL-best 13-3. Then Dallas cruised past the Eagles and 49ers
before embarrassing the Buffalo Bills, 52-17, forcing an unthinkable nine
Buffalo turnovers. Dallas went on to repeat in 1993, then won again in 1995
after head coach Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones "divorced" in 1994.
6. Super Bowl XXIX - San Francisco 49ers
First, Steve Young (pictured) had to overcome the USFL. Then it was being
drafted by the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, back when they were horrible in
bright orange uniforms. He also had to sit for years behind arguably the
greatest QB ever to play, San Francisco's Joe Montana. Finally Young won the
starting QB gig by the Bay for good in 1992, but his team couldn't surpass
the Dallas Cowboys ... until 1994, when Young's 49ers rocked the NFL's best
offense with 505 points, culminating in a 49-26 Super Bowl rout over the
Chargers with Young FINALLY relieved to win his own championship.
7. Super Bowl XIII - Pittsburgh Steelers
Picking from among the best of Pittsburgh's four Super Bowl champions during
the 1970s takes splitting hairs to a whole new level. But in winning Super
Bowl XIII, the Steelers cemented the decade as their own. Behind the famed
"Steel Curtain" defense and the Terry Bradshaw-Franco Harris (pictured) QB-RB
combo on offense, the 14-2 Steelers won their third of four titles in beating
a very game Dallas Cowboys team in a thriller, 35-31, that proved once and
for all that Terry Bradshaw could dominate a Super Bowl like his storied
defense.
8. Super Bowl I - Green Bay Packers
The class of the 1960s was clearly the Green Bay Packers. Bart Starr, Ray
Nitschke, Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung, Jerry Kramer ... legends of the game who
won five NFL championships during their decade of dominance. Their first
Super Bowl title team -- played back before the term "Super Bowl" had been
coined -- capped another tremendous season as the packers beat the AFL's
Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. Green Bay repeated as champion the following year
in 1967, putting its stamp on football history. The Super Bowl trophy today
is named the Vince Lombardi Trophy, after all.
9. Super Bowl XI - Oakland Raiders
There were a few transcendent NFL teams from the 1970s, and most of them in
the AFC. The Steelers, Dolphins, Raiders and Chiefs highlighted what was
often a round-robin in the playoffs, and each year Oakland came close to
breaking through. If not for the "Immaculate Reception" years before, maybe
the Raiders would have won multiple Super Bowls like the Steelers. But the
1976 team was coach John Madden's best, a team that won its final 10 regular
season games to finish 13-1, then blew out Minnesota in Super Bowl XI behind
QB Ken Stabler (pictured, right) and WR Fred Biletnikoff (pictured, left),
32-14.
10. Super Bowl XLII - New England Patriots
This pick will generate some (ahem) feedback. On one hand, these Patriots
lost the friggin' Super Bowl ... how could they be on this list? On the flip
side, they were one wildly shocking, improbable, stunning, stupefying,
(insert further adjectives here) David Tyree catch with his helmet on a
desperate heave from QB Eli Manning from likely finishing what would have
been a 14-10 Super Bowl win. The Giants deserved to win the game, of course,
but in the modern day game with parity built into the product, the Patriots
were THATCLOSE to a 19-0 season.
