BEST NFL RECORDS, PAST 10 YEARS

Over the past 10 years, six NFL teams – New England (122-38, .763), Indianapolis (110-50, .688), Pittsburgh (101-59, .631), Green Bay (98-61-1, .616), San Diego (97-63, .606) and (96-64, .600) – have posted a winning percentage of .600 or better. Those six clubs have combined for 43 playoff berths, 10 appearances and six Super Bowl championships during that span.

Since being drafted by Green Bay in 2005, quarterback and the Packers have made seven playoff appearances, winning Super Bowl XLV.

“I’m very proud of Aaron,” says Green Bay MIKE MC CARTHY. “He’s at the point in his career now that it seems like every week or every other week he’s breaking a record. He is just a special player.”

The reigning Super Bowl champion , under the guidance of head coach BILL BELICHICK, have the best regular-season record over the past 10 years, qualifying for the postseason nine times and winning Super Bowl XLIX.

“He’s been a great mentor, a great friend,” says head coach (above, with Belichick). “I have the utmost respect for him. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of our generation, without question.”
