Remember Me! They finished with a record and then completely demolished P eyton Manning and the Broncos in the Super Bowl. However, they did whatever it took to finish on top of their rivals, both metaphorically and literally speaking.
Led by Lawrence Taylor and Leonard Marshall , the Giants had one of the strongest, toughest, most physical defenses to ever be seen in football.
However, with these kinds of assassins in their defensive unit, he barely even needed to do anything at all. Most young football fans may not remember but there was a time when the Cleveland Browns were actually the best team in the league.
As a matter of fact, they were almost unbeatable in the AAFC during the 40s, but perhaps their greatest team came in the season when they made their debut in the NFL. Otto Graham was always a step ahead of the defense. The Browns had elite coaching and an almost flawless system that just had never been seen in the league before. They managed to win 10 games and lost just 2. Then, head coach Paul Brown led them to their 5th straight championship the prior 4 from the AAFC era by beating the Rams and they set the bar for the rest of the league in terms of tactics.
Back in the day, the Packers were led by the best tactician in the world. He, paired with Bart Starr , put together the most unstoppable offense in the NFL during the season. The Packers put together blowout after blowout en route to a record. Led by their two-headed offensive monster, the Broncos were finally able to get past their postseason recent struggles the prior campaign, but they truly took a step forward in , hanging on to a record by destroying the Dolphins , beating the Jets , and finishing the job in Super Bowl XXXIII by defeating the Atlanta Falcons to give John Elway his second ring in as many seasons.
The Oakland Raiders are - literally - one of the most unbeatable teams of all time. I mean, they got off to a record, lost to the Patriots, and then never looked back by finishing the season with 13 wins and 1 loss, taking that streak to the playoffs by getting back at New England, crushing the Steelers, and then humiliating the Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Cliff Branch, Dave Casper, and Fred Biletnikoff were tailor-made for their vertical offense and made Ken Stebler look quite good for most of the season.
However, their defense was what made them stand out from the rest of the pack. They were trying to hurt you and you better believe they would never stop until they finished the job. They say second parts are never as good as the original. They must have never heard about the Pittsburgh Steelers then. With a team full of savvy veterans coming off a Super Bowl championship, they finished 12 straight games from the previous campaign by jumping to an early record.
Opposing players had nightmares about their dominating, tough defense, which only got stronger with time. The Steelers ended up the season with a record , beat the Dolphins in the Divisional Round, got the AFC Championship by beating the Oilers , and then finished the job with a triumph vs. Bill Belichick is perhaps the greatest head coach in the history of the game. That and the fact that they had some guy named Tom Brady under center were two of the biggest reasons why you could never count the New England Patriots out, not even if they were trailing by 25 points late in the third quarter.
These guys were just too mentally tough. Finished up the season with a record, crushed the Texans, demolished the Steelers, and then put together the most epic comeback in Super Bowl history. The Dallas Cowboys really took a step forward during the season. They already had an elite defense which surrounded just points, by the way and a great quarterback on Roger Staubach , but everything changed when they took Tony Dorsett with the 2nd overall pick, as he brought a fresh pair of legs that could break through tackles like a knife through butter.
They crushed the Bears , Vikings , and Broncos en route to their second Super Bowl ring. With an impressive regular-season record, the Eagles were just too tough to be stopped. That Packers team was lead by two of the best players in their respective positions at the time: Brett Favre and Reggie White.
Favre led the offense and would win three consecutive MVP titles between and On defense, White was a nightmare for opposing teams and is considered by many as the greatest defensive end in NFL history. That season, the team finished with a record, scored an average of The team nicknamed "The Greatest Show On Turf" for its explosive offense was seen as one of the favorites to reach the Super Bowl that season. However, all hope looked to go out the window when starting quarterback, Trent Green, went down with a season-ending injury and was replaced by relatively unknown Kurt Warner.
Warner would prove the doubters wrong and with the help of Pro Bowl running back, Marshall Faulk , lead the Rams to a record and the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance since After taking a lead, the Titans fought back to tie the game with less than three minutes remaining only for Kurt Warner to respond on the next drive with a yard touchdown throw to Isaac Bruce to take back the lead at With seconds remaining, Rams defender, Mike Jones , came up with a game-ending tackle to stop Titans receiver, Kevin Dyson, on the one-yard line to help the Rams win their first championship in franchise history.
The Dallas Cowboys were just unfair. They were just too good. As we've seen thus far, the Steelers had the best defensive line in the league in the 70s.
