Denver Broncos (3 Super Bowls)
The above 12 teams represent some of the most successful NFL organizations of all time. The likes of New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Pittsburgh Steelers, have been dominant forces in the last decade. They have a total of 18 Lombardis between themselves.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are teams on the rise. The latter battled against all odds to win the Super Bowl LV title against the Chiefs at the Raymond James Stadium in February.
It’s no secret that Tom Brady is the driving force behind the Patriots and the Buccaneers. But one team who is finding it hard to maintain its relevance in recent years is Jerry Jones-owned Dallas Cowboys.
The NFC East franchise last won the Super Bowl in 1996. Fondly known as America’s Team, the Cowboys will be in the mix to make the playoffs in 2021. But whether they manage to achieve that remains to be seen.
Other teams on the list include Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders (due to their history as the Oakland Raiders), Baltimore Ravens, and the Indianapolis Colts. Who do you think should make the cut in a league such as this? Tell us in the comments section below.
