Speaking of Dynasties

If the New England Patriots had won the Super Bowl that would have solidified the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady Era as the greatest dynasty of all time with its sixth Super Bowl titles tying them with the Pittsburgh Steelers and snapping the tie they are currently in with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys with five Super Bowl titles.

Just noting the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants are next with four Super Bowl titles. Another note the Packers lead the league with 13 total titles and the Chicago Bears next with nine, including one Super Bowl title just two years after George “Papa Bear" Halas died with the Mike Ditka led Super Bowl Shuffle team.

The Best Rivalry In Sports In My Opinion

RIDICULOUS

Recently MSN.com (9/28/16) ran a FoxSports.com list of the 8 Best Rivalries in the NFL Today ranked. Of course, the Packers and Bears, the longest rivalry in sports, was ranked first, as it should be, but I'm getting ahead of the story. Read on McDuff.

 

So now we'll go the list of the Top 8 Best Rivalries in the NFL Today starting with their premise: Familiarity breeds contempt-- an idea that’s reaffirmed between NFL division rivals twice and sometimes three times a year. But especially in the era of NFL parity, rivalries ebb and flow. It helps a rivalry when both teams are riding high, the games are closely contested, the combatants win a relatively equal share of games and there’s a lot at stake. With that in mind, we’ve ranked the top eight rivalries in the NFL today.
