The Super Bowl is one of the most exciting events in the NFL, and it’s a battle that many teams look forward to. But some franchises have more than their fair share of championship tittles to their name.
The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers each have six Super Bowl wins, leading the way. Other multiple-win teams include the Cowboys and 49ers.
The Patriots
The Patriots are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, having won a total of six Super Bowl titles. The team has also won four AFC Championship Games and a pair of Super Bowls in Europe. They are coached by Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, who have been responsible for the most successful dynasty in the NFL.
The Pats began to become serious contenders in the late 1970s, winning the AFC East title in 1978 and advancing to Super Bowl XXXVI against the Oakland Raiders. They had a good run in the 1980s, too, but they never reached the top of the league again until the 1990s.
A modern-day dynasty has been forged under the watch of Belichick and Brady, who won their first Super Bowl in 2002 with a game-winning kick by Adam Vinatieri. They won back-to-back Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004 and are a dominant force in the AFC.
While Belichick and Brady are responsible for their success, the team is a great example of the power of a strong sense of loyalty and a sense of pride in being American. This has been evident in the Patriots’ ability to win a record eight consecutive Super Bowls from 2001 to 2009.
Their most recent victory came in the Super Bowl XLVIII on February 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. This was their sixth Super Bowl win, and it ties them with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most superbowl tittles in NFL history.
Since then, the Patriots have remained one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL, averaging 373.4 points per game in their last two seasons. This was a big improvement over the 314.5 average they achieved in 2013.
The Pats have also been one of the best defensive teams in NFL history, as they have allowed just 21.5 points per game in their last three seasons. They have a talented and experienced quarterback in Tom Brady, as well as a versatile offensive line that has been led by Joe Thomas and Vince Wilfork. This has helped them maintain a strong record throughout the NFL’s playoffs and their Super Bowl victories.
The Steelers
In the NFL, there are only a few teams who have won multiple Super Bowls. These include the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers have won six trophies, while the Patriots have won five.
The Steelers began playing football in 1933 as the Pittsburgh Pirates, but they changed their name to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1940. In 1943, they merged with the Philadelphia Eagles and became the “Steagles,” changing their name to the “Steelers” in 1954.
While most sports franchises have their own color scheme, the Steelers have stayed true to their black and gold colors since their inception. They also have three uniforms: the standard black helmet and jersey, a yellow helmet with rounded numbers and a white jersey, and a “bumblebee” uniform that features a yellow jersey with black horizontal lines in a bumble bee pattern.
A key factor to the Steelers’ success has been their drafting, development and play-calling of a high performance offense that features physical receivers who can make big plays on third down or in the red zone. Plaxico Burress, Hines Ward, Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster are just a few of the many players who have helped the team win multiple playoff games and a Super Bowl.
Another important aspect of the Steelers’ offense is their defense. They’ve been anchored by a dominant unit that has won five consecutive Super Bowls, starting with Chuck Noll’s debut in 1969. The Steelers’ defense has a reputation for being one of the toughest in the game and they’ve had some of the best linebackers to ever play the game.
The defense was particularly strong during the 1970s, when Pittsburgh made a run to the Super Bowl in three consecutive years (including an upset victory over Denver in 1993). It was anchored by Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Greene and renowned defensive tackle Larry Greene, who was named the league’s MVP in 1972.
In addition, the Steelers have a strong resiliency factor that makes them tough to beat. It’s a trait that has allowed them to overcome some of the most difficult obstacles in the NFL. They haven’t lost a single season in 15 years and have never lost a playoff game.
The Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, having won a total of five Super Bowl tittles. This is a remarkable achievement given the team’s lack of success over the past two decades.
The Cowboys’ first championship came in 1971, when they defeated the Baltimore Colts by a score of 16-13. After a long period of being known as “Next Year’s Champions” due to their repeated failures to win the big game, they finally broke through with this victory and began to grow in popularity nationwide.
However, they would lose their second Super Bowl in 1975 to Pittsburgh by a score of 21-17. This was their only loss in the franchise’s history and it was an extremely tough game to win, especially as the Steelers had beaten them earlier in the season.
Nevertheless, they came back strong to win the following Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos by a score of 27-10. This was a classic Super Bowl for many reasons including the fact that it was the first Super Bowl to be played in a dome and in prime time. The Cowboys’ Doomsday Defense also dominated the game, winning all four phases of play and earning co-Super Bowl MVPs for Randy White and Harvey Martin.
This was one of the most important games in the history of the Cowboys as it marked the start of a new era for the team. With head coach Tom Landry at the helm, Dallas re-established itself as an NFL powerhouse with several innovative off-the-field moves that endeared the team to the public.
For example, the team began televised appearances on Thanksgiving Day, the first NFL team to do so. It was also the first to use computers in scouting and had the first modern cheerleading squad performing sophisticated choreographed routines.
In addition, the team won 105 regular season games during that time frame, which is the most in NFL history. It’s also worth noting that during this time frame, the Cowboys were known as America’s Team for their outstanding defense and were led by such players as defensive tackles Bob Lilly and Randy White, quarterback Roger Staubach, wide receiver Efren Herrera and running back Tony Dorsett.
The 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most successful and iconic teams in the NFL. In fact, they have won five Super Bowls out of seven tries and are looking to add another in 2019.
They’ve had two of the most iconic quarterbacks of all time in Joe Montana and Steve Young. They also have a history of beating some of the best teams in the league.
In fact, they’ve beaten the Patriots and Steelers in the last three seasons. This team is in a great position to win another Super Bowl, but they need to keep their quarterback healthy.
Luckily, they have a young and offensively-minded head coach in Kyle Shanahan and a defense guru, future head coach candidate Robert Saleh. They also have draft assets that should help them take the next step in their franchise’s development.
This team has been through a lot of ups and downs. But they are still considered the most talented team in the NFC West, so they should be able to win their division.
The 49ers were founded in 1946 as an All-America Football Conference (AAFC) team. After the AAFC merged into the National Football League in 1950, the 49ers struggled to break into the league’s upper echelon of professional football.
But they were able to make a major impact during the 1980s. A young quarterback named Joe Montana led the San Francisco 49ers to their first Super Bowl victory in 1981 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
That’s an incredible feat in a league that has been around for over 100 years. In just three years, they transformed from an AAFC team into a powerhouse in the NFL.
They did this with an impressive passing game and a ferocious defensive front. But the key to their success was Joe Montana’s ability to connect with a wide variety of receivers.
In 1985, the team drafted Jerry Rice, who was an immediate star. He teamed up with Montana to form a passing duo that broke all of the major receiving records in the NFL.
With an offensive mastermind like Walsh at the helm, the 49ers became one of the most dominating teams in the NFL. They won their first Super Bowl in just three seasons, and then a second and third Super Bowl in 1989 and 1995.
