With the NFL being the most popular sport in North America, we believe that you probably know almost all (if not all) NFL teams. However, there are some unique hits or marks that you probably are not even aware of.
The Best Teams In NFL History
#1: 1962 Green Bay Packers: 13-1, NFL Champions:
As one of the greatest NFL teams of all time, the Green Bay Packers definitely had an amazing season back in 1962.
The Green Bay Packers started by winning the first 4 games in the 1962 season. But their success was only beginning. They won by 49-0 final scores twice, rushed for 175.7 yards per game, and forced 50 turnovers in 14 regular-season games.
Some of the best NFL players were in this team. It included names like Vince Lombardi, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Jim Ringo, Willie Davis, Ray Nitschke, and Herb Adderly.
#2: 2007 Patriots: 16-0, AFC Champions
While the Patriots had two bad seasons in 2005 and 2006, they surely made a comeback in 2007. One of the reasons for their unsuccess was the fact that Tom Brady lacked playmakers. However, they were able to recover when they reloaded their offense with Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Donte Stallworth.
#3: 1989 San Francisco 49ers: 14-2, Super Bowl Champions
The 1989 49ers is the team that brought Steve Young off the bench in relief of Joe Montana not to mention John Taylor, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, and Brent Jones.
This was the team that made every franchise in the NFL want to copy the West Coast offense. The truth is that this team was able to make an average of 27.5 points per game and only allowed 15.8 points.
Ultimately, they were one of the most balanced teams in NFL history, as well as one of the deepest.

#4: 1978 Steelers: 14-2, Super Bowl Champions
Between 1975 and 1978, the NFL had a lot of changes in its rules. And a lot of people believe that these changes were made to put a stop to Steelers. However, and no matter if this was the goal or not, the team even got better. The new contact rules wound up helping John Stallworth and small, speedy Lynn Swann more than they hampered Blount. Swann and Stallworth combined for 20 touchdown receptions.

#5: 1991 Washington Redskins: 14-2, Super Bowl Champions
In the 1991 Washington Redskins team, you could no longer find some great players such as Joe Theismann or John Riggins. However, somehow, they manage to do even better.
The truth is that by simply looking at this 1991 Washington Redskins team on paper, you couldn’t even tell. Nevertheless, they shut out three opponents in their first five games by a combined 102-0 score. They cruised through the playoffs and Super Bowl, outscoring opponents 101-41 in three games.
