10. 2004 New England Patriots (SB XXXIX)

Ho-hum, it’s the Patriots led by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick once again making an appearance, this time to kick off the top-10. Of the Patriots dynasty that they’ve built over the past two decades under the direction of Belichick, though, there’s been no better Super Bowl winning team (sorry, 2007 Pats) to come through Foxboro and roll to a postseason victory.

Brady and the Patriots went 14-2 in the regular season and it’s not hard to see why. Brady and the offense that featured the likes of Corey Dillon in the backfield and the famed mid-level receiving core of David Patten, David Givens, and Deion Branch that posted the fourth-best scoring numbers in the league. That offense was flanked by a dominant defense, though, that was the No. 2 scoring defense in the country led by the likes of Rodney Harrison, Teddy Bruschi, Richard Seymour, and so on.

New England in the 2005 playoffs wasn’t wholly dominant after a 20-3 victory over the Colts in their Divisional Round game, though their 41-27 win over the Steelers on the road in the AFC Championship game was far from unimpressive. They had to fight to get past the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, but they did so and established themselves as one of the greats to ever hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

Next: No. 9
