NFL Power Rankings: 30 most dominant teams all-time

2004 Philadelphia Eagles
The team that finally got over the hump that was the NFC Championship, the 2004 Eagles finally had it all: a complete offense led by Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and Terrell Owens and a tough, hard-hitting defense led by Jeremiah Trotter and Brian Dawkins.
The Eagles went 13-3 in 2004, starting the year 7-0 before losing 27-3 to Pittsburgh in Week 9. They cruised through wins over the Vikings and the Falcons in the NFC playoffs before losing 24-21 to (who else but) Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX.
McNabb had one of the best years of his career, throwing for 3,875 yards and 31 touchdowns with just eight picks. Westbrook ran for 812 yards and caught for another 703 with nine combined touchdowns and Owens caught 127 balls for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in his only season as an Eagle.
