Contents
We take a look at which NFL teams have the best record so far in 2021.
The NFL’s Winningest Teams
The 2021 NFL season is now underway, and there are a few teams that have already made a name for themselves as the winningest teams in the league. The Kansas City Chiefs are currently sitting at the top of the standings with a record of 9-1. The New Orleans Saints are right behind them with a record of 8-2. The Green Bay Packers and the Buffalo Bills are also off to hot starts with records of 8-3 and 7-3 respectively.
The New England Patriots
The New England Patriots have the best record in the NFL as of 2021. They have won six Super Bowl titles and have been to ten Super Bowls overall. They have also won seventeen divisional titles and have made the playoffs thirty-three times. The Patriots have been one of the most successful teams in NFL history, and their success has continued into the 21st century.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the winningest team in the NFL with a record of 6-0. The Steelers have won five Super Bowls, eight AFC Championships, and have an overall record of 31-5. The Steelers have been to the playoffs in 26 of their last 27 seasons and have only had two losing seasons in that time.
The Green Bay Packers
The Packers hold the NFL’s all-time winningest record, with a total of 1073 wins and only 530 losses, for a winning percentage of .669. The Packers have played in more NFL title games (22) than any other team in the league, winning 13 of them. Green Bay also has the most conference championships (13), with nine won in the NFC and four won in the pre–Super Bowl era NFL Championship Game.
The NFL’s Most Improved Teams
The Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns are an American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The Browns play their home games at FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999, with administrative offices and training facilities in Berea, Ohio. The Browns’ official colors are brown, orange, and white. They are unique among the 32 member franchises of the NFL in that they do not have a logo on their helmets.
The franchise was founded in 1945 by businessman Arthur B. McBride and coach Paul Brown as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). The Browns dominated the AAFC, compiling a 47–4–3 record in its four seasons and winning its championship in each. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, the Browns joined the NFL along with three other AAFC teams: the San Francisco 49ers, the original Baltimore Colts, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made some serious improvements this offseason. They have brought in several new players, including wide receiver Antonio Brown, and they have made some changes to their coaching staff. These changes have led to a lot of excitement and expectations for the Buccaneers in 2021.
The Buccaneers finished the 2020 season with a 7-9 record, but they are expected to be much better in 2021. Many experts believe that the Buccaneers could be one of the best teams in the NFC this season.
The Buccaneers will have a tough task ahead of them if they want to make the playoffs this season. They will be competing against some of the best teams in the NFC, including the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, and Los Angeles Rams. If the Buccaneers can live up to their potential, they could be a dangerous team in 2021.
The Los Angeles Rams
There is no question that the Los Angeles Rams were one of the best teams in the NFL last season. They finished with a 13-3 record and were one win away from making it to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
This off-season, the Rams made some key additions to their team. They added wide receiver Brandin Cooks, defensive end Dante Fowler, and cornerback Aqib Talib. They also brought in offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell, who is widely considered to be one of the best offensive minds in football.
With all of these additions, it is no surprise that the Rams are once again one of the best teams in the NFL. They have a real chance to make it back to the Super Bowl and this time, they may be able to win it all.
The NFL’s Biggest Surprises
The 2021 NFL season has been full of surprises. The Cleveland Browns, who were widely expected to be one of the worst teams in the league, are off to a 5-3 start. The San Francisco 49ers, who were expected to be one of the best teams in the league, are just 4-4. And the Buffalo Bills, who were expected to be good but not great, are 6-2 and in first place in the AFC East. Who else has surprised us so far this season?
The Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2021 NFL season. After a lackluster 2020 campaign, many experts predicted that the Dolphins would be one of the worst teams in the league. However, Miami has been one of the most impressive teams this season, with a 4-2 record and wins over some of the best teams in the NFL. The Dolphins are led by their young quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, who has been incredibly efficient and has made few mistakes. The defense has also been strong, led by linebacker Kyle Van Noy. The Dolphins still have a long way to go, but they are definitely one of the most improved teams in the league and could be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
The Buffalo Bills
No one expected the Buffalo Bills to have the best record in the NFL at this point in the season.
The Bills were a mediocre team last year, and they didn’t do much to improve their roster in the offseason.
Yet here they are, with an 8-3 record and a realistic chance of making the playoffs.
What’s behind their sudden success?
For one thing, quarterback Josh Allen has taken a big step forward in his second year in the league.
He’s thrown for 2,585 yards and 19 touchdowns, with just six interceptions.
He’s also ran for another 310 yards and six touchdowns.
In other words, he’s been a dual threat for the Bills offense.
The Bills have also been helped by a strong defense. They’re currently ranked second in the NFL in points allowed per game, at just 17.6.
They’ve been especially good at stopping the run, which has been a big key to their success this season.
So far, everything has gone right for the Bills this season. But can they keep it up? We’ll have to wait and see.
The Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season. Behind the arm of veteran quarterback Carson Palmer and the play of young stars like running back David Johnson and receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona has compiled a 5-2-1 record, good for second place in the NFC West behind the Seattle Seahawks.
The Cardinals’ success has been a surprise to many, as they were not expected to contend for a playoff spot this season. However, with their strong play so far, they have put themselves in a good position to make a run at the playoffs.
Arizona will look to keep their surprise season going in the coming weeks as they take on some tough opponents, including the Seahawks, Packers, and Vikings. If they can continue to play at a high level, they could make some noise in the postseason.
