With 32 teams competing in the NFL leagues each year it would be difficult for me to review them all in one article, therefore here is a summary of some of the more popular and successful NFL teams through the previous years.
Firstly, the most recent winners of the Super Bowl – The Pittsburgh Steelers from Pennsylvania, they are in the North Division of the AFC, and were founded in 1933. In there time the Steelers have won the Superbowl 6 times, making them one of the more successful NFL teams to date. One of the more recent victorious times for the Steelers is known as the Chuck Noll Era when they hired him as their coach and he bought with it a change in their luck, with the retirement of Chuck Noll came the hiring of Bill Cowher who led the Steelers to the playoffs consecutively for the first six years. Their latest success comes at the pride of Art Rooney´s five sons who have an 80% share in the team.
The next team to mention is the Greenbay Packers, as they have won the Championship more times than any other NFL team – a total of 12 times. They were founded in 1919 by Earl Lambeau, hence the name of the field where the team plays, Lambeau Field. They have won the Super Bowl three times with the first two being consecutive with victory in the Super Bowl I and II in 1967 and 1968. The packers pride themselves to e the only non-profit team that is community owned in the professional major leagues in the United States. Their rivals are the Chicago Bears who they have competed against I over 170 games, other rivals include the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys.
