Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin

Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin won three Super Bowls in Dallas as part of one of the great NFL dynasties ever.

For eight seasons, Irvin was Aikman’s go-to receiver, leading the Cowboys in receiving yards from 1991 to 1998.

They were two of the key figures being the quick turnaround from 1-15 in 1989 to 11-5 in 1991. They were also the household names of America’s Team along with Emmitt Smith.

Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison

When you see the Colts logo, chances are you thinking of two players: Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison.

The dynamic duo in Indianapolis was like peanut butter and jelly for a decade. In their 11 seasons together, Harrison broke 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns eight times.

Of the three seasons without that production, one was Manning’s rookie season, one was cut short by the WR’s knee injury and one was Harrison’s final season at the age of 36.
