Super Bowl XX - Chicago Bears The 1985 Bears encompassed all you could want in a Super Bowl champion -- a dominant team that finished the regular season 15-1, smashing defensive records in the process. Plus they had plenty of flavor, as judged by their classic "Super Bowl Shuffle" rap video that became a trend-setter among 1980s sports teams. Throw in wild personalities like Jim McMahon, William "Refrigerator" Perry plus head coach "Iron" Mike Ditka and even defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan (pictured), and it's no wonder Chicago couldn't sustain its invincibility. But for one 1985 season and 46-10 blowout of New England on Super Sunday, no team was ever better. 2. Super Bowl XXIV - San Francisco 49ers For all the genius of legendary 49ers head coach Bill Walsh, it's somewhat bizarre that San Francisco's most dominant Super Bowl team came the year after Walsh retired following his third Super Bowl title in 1988. Replacement head coach George Seifert was the beneficiary of an incredible postseason run as the 49ers blew out their three playoff opponents by a combined 126-26. Wow. That's what we all said after witnessing the best offensive show in Super Sunday history, with Jerry Rice and Joe Montana (both pictured) leading a 55-10 win over the Broncos. 3. Super Bowl VII - Miami Dolphins Only one team pops champagne each year to celebrate the last unbeaten team losing its first game -- the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Whether or not it bugs you, it's still an impressive feat to go undefeated and untied for the entire regular season and playoffs. Some critics have tried to "poo-poo" the accomplishment, using today's "strength of schedule" standards since those Dolphins played only two regular season games against teams with winning records (Chiefs and Giants, both 8-6). What they failed to mention: Miami beat the 10-4 Browns and 11-3 Steelers in the playoffs, then came a Football Follies blocked FG-turned touchdown off the foot of kicker Garo Yepremian from shutting out the 11-3 Redskins in the Super Bowl, winning 14-7. 4. Super Bowl XIX - San Francisco 49ers For a 15-1 team (only loss by a field goal) that obliterated nearly every team in their path in 1984, these Niners seem to get overshadowed at times when looking back through Super Bowl history. All the hype entering Super Bowl XIX centered around the QB matchup of Joe Montana and Miami's young gun Dan Marino, who had shattered passing records throughout the '84 season. But the Niners had the league's 2nd-ranked offense in the league, and the No. 1-ranked scoring defense in football. Great defense (and Montana) beat great offense, as the 49ers won easily, 38-16. 5. Super Bowl XXVII - Dallas Cowboys The first of the three Super Bowls won in the 1990s by the Cowboys was the most impressive and imposing. After losing an early-season Monday night showdown at Philly, the Cowboys immediately took control of the league and finished an NFL-best 13-3. Then Dallas cruised past the Eagles and 49ers before embarrassing the Buffalo Bills, 52-17, forcing an unthinkable nine Buffalo turnovers. Dallas went on to repeat in 1993, then won again in 1995 after head coach Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones "divorced" in 1994. 6. Super Bowl XXIX - San Francisco 49ers First, Steve Young (pictured) had to overcome the USFL. Then it was being drafted by the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, back when they were horrible in bright orange uniforms. He also had to sit for years behind arguably the greatest QB ever to play, San Francisco's Joe Montana. Finally Young won the starting QB gig by the Bay for good in 1992, but his team couldn't surpass the Dallas Cowboys ... until 1994, when Young's 49ers rocked the NFL's best offense with 505 points, culminating in a 49-26 Super Bowl rout over the Chargers with Young FINALLY relieved to win his own championship. 7. Super Bowl XIII - Pittsburgh Steelers Picking from among the best of Pittsburgh's four Super Bowl champions during the 1970s takes splitting hairs to a whole new level. But in winning Super Bowl XIII, the Steelers cemented the decade as their own. Behind the famed "Steel Curtain" defense and the Terry Bradshaw-Franco Harris (pictured) QB-RB combo on offense, the 14-2 Steelers won their third of four titles in beating a very game Dallas Cowboys team in a thriller, 35-31, that proved once and for all that Terry Bradshaw could dominate a Super Bowl like his storied defense. 8. Super Bowl I - Green Bay Packers The class of the 1960s was clearly the Green Bay Packers. Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung, Jerry Kramer ... legends of the game who won five NFL championships during their decade of dominance. Their first Super Bowl title team -- played back before the term "Super Bowl" had been coined -- capped another tremendous season as the packers beat the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. Green Bay repeated as champion the following year in 1967, putting its stamp on football history. The Super Bowl trophy today is named the Vince Lombardi Trophy, after all. 9. Super Bowl XI - Oakland Raiders There were a few transcendent NFL teams from the 1970s, and most of them in the AFC. The Steelers, Dolphins, Raiders and Chiefs highlighted what was often a round-robin in the playoffs, and each year Oakland came close to breaking through. If not for the "Immaculate Reception" years before, maybe the Raiders would have won multiple Super Bowls like the Steelers. But the 1976 team was coach John Madden's best, a team that won its final 10 regular season games to finish 13-1, then blew out Minnesota in Super Bowl XI behind QB Ken Stabler (pictured, right) and WR Fred Biletnikoff (pictured, left), 32-14. 10. Super Bowl XLII - New England Patriots This pick will generate some (ahem) feedback. On one hand, these Patriots lost the friggin' Super Bowl ... how could they be on this list? On the flip side, they were one wildly shocking, improbable, stunning, stupefying, (insert further adjectives here) David Tyree catch with his helmet on a desperate heave from QB Eli Manning from likely finishing what would have been a 14-10 Super Bowl win. The Giants deserved to win the game, of course, but in the modern day game with parity built into the product, the Patriots were THATCLOSE to a 19-0 season. --
