Best NFL Teams of the 80s

The Top Ten
1 49ers The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

How could you not pick the 49ers? Even if we're talking single season performance 1984 49ers and arguably 1989 49ers were stronger than the 1985 Bears. If you're talking performance over the decade, not taking the 49ers would be like not picking the Steelers as the best team in the '70s.

San Francisco was the best team in 80s because it was only team was able to be Dallas Cowboys

Jerry Rice and Joe Montana were a killer combo and such an amazing defense

How is this actually a question?

2 Redskins The Washington Commanders are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. ...read more.

4 super bowls in 9 years and won 3 of them with 3 different QB's and 3 different RB's. Never been done and will never be repeated or defeated. RIPredskins21!

Skins played in a much harder division than the 49ers. Nfc east was by far the best division in. The 80's

3 Dolphins The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football franchise located in the Miami metropolitan area.
4 Broncos The Denver Broncos are an American football team based in Denver, Colorado. The Broncos compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference West division.

If the late 70's mark when the Denver Broncos finally became a playoff-contending franchise, then the 80's as a whole mark the time that the Broncos became consistently dangerous. The combination of a multi-skilled John Elway offense and a second-generation orange crush defense helped propel the Broncos to three Super Bowls, even though the Broncos essentially beat themselves up when they got to all three (not to take away credit from great teams they faced). The AFC Championship title of the 80's however goes to the Broncos.

Randall Cunningham and that Defense...Top 5 even without Super Bowl

17 Patriots The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region. New England Patriots are one of the few teams to have 5+ wins in the Super Bowl.

1985 is what put this team on this list. NOBODY gave the Patriots to go far in the NFL Playoffs. In fact, NOBODY gave the Patriots a chance to win even a playoff game on the road, but 3 times in a row they did. an 11-5 Wild card playoff team beat another 11-5 team at their place The Jets. But then they beat a Raiders team that football experts said the Raiders were a super bowl team. Super Bowl this The Patriots beat the silver and black team and then the crown jewel, they snapped a 18-game losing streak at the Orange Bowl, as they beat the Dolphins and were 1985 A F C Champions.
