Contents
Every NFL team has its pros and cons, but which team is really the best? We break down the best NFL teams and let you decide for yourself.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most successful teams in the NFL. They have won six Super Bowls, more than any other team. They have also had more players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame than any other team. Pittsburgh is known for having a strong defense and a good running game.

The Steelers compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) North division. Founded in 1933, the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC.
In contrast with their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were winners of only two league championships, the Steelers of the post-merger (modern) era are one of the most successful NFL franchises. They have won 8 AFC championships, tied with the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots for second most all-time (behind only the Oakland Raiders’ 11), and have played in more conference championship games than any other team in NFL history with 15 appearances. The Steelers have won 6 Super Bowl titles (tied for 2nd all-time with New England), which is tied with Dallas and San Francisco for second behind only Green Bay’s 5 titles. They currently hold the record for most Super Bowl appearances with 8, winning two more than their archrival Dallas Cowboys.

The Steelers are known for their “Steel Curtain” defense, which was one of the best in the NFL during the 1970s. The team’s offensive stars have included quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger, running back Franco Harris, and wide receiver Antonio Brown. The Steelers have a large and loyal fan base, which is one of the reasons why the team is often considered one of the best in the NFL.

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) North division. It is the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919, and is the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. Home games have been played at Lambeau Field since 1957.
The Packers are the last of the “small town teams” which were common in the NFL during the league’s early days of existence. Founded in 1919 by Earl “Curly” Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, the franchise traces its lineage to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating back to 1896. Between 1919 and 1920, the Packers competed against other semi-pro clubs from around Wisconsin and the Midwest, before joining the American Professional Football Association (now the NFL) in 1921. Although Green Bay is by far the smallest major league professional sports market in North America, Forbes ranked the Packers as being worth US$1.02 billion in 2019 making them also one of then most valuable franchises among all major professional sports leagues there.
The Packers have won 13 league championships (nineNFL Championships and four Super Bowls), more than any other team in NFL history, with nine pre–Super Bowl NFL titles and four Super Bowl victories. They have played in more conference championship games than any team but five and appear 32 times (second only to Pittsburgh’s 33) on Thanksgiving Day, more than any other team in NFL history. The Packers have won 34 of those appearances (second behind Detroit’s 35), including a streak of eight consecutive wins from 2006 to 2013.
The most successful team in NFL history
The Green Bay Packers are the most successful team in NFL history. With 13 championships and four Super Bowl wins, they are the envy of every other team in the league. The Packers have a rich history dating back to their founding in 1919, and they have been led by some of the most esteemed coaches and players in the game. Today, the Packers are one of the most popular teams in the league, and they continue to be a powerhouse on the gridiron.
