My Team
The Green Bay Packers have won more championships -- 12 -- than any other team in National Football League history.
They won their first three by league standing (1929, 1930 and 1931), and nine since the NFL's playoff system was established in 1933 (1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1996).
Green Bay also is the only NFL team to win three straight titles, having done it twice (1929-30-31 and 1965-66-67).
In addition, the Packers won the first two Super Bowls (over Kansas City in 1966, 35-10, and over Oakland in 1967, 33-14), as well as a more recent one (over New England in 1996, 35-21).
Since the league implemented a playoff system in 1933, the Packers have played in the NFL's deciding game 12 times (10 NFL title appearances from 1936-67, two Super Bowls after the 1970 merger). Only the Giants (18) have played for more titles.
Most World Championships:
Green Bay Packers, 12
Chicago Bears, 9
New York Giants, 7

It appears you must only count NFC teams when you count championships. While my favorite team, The Steelers, were terrible for years, I believe their impressive record since 1974 should qualify them for your list. (2)
ReplyDeleteThe Swell Guy... I apologize for my phantom author's mistake. You are correct, the Steelers have won 6 championships and they should have been included on the all-time list, above the Cowboys. Just a note that their 6 is still half of the titles that my Packers have won at 12.
ReplyDeleteAlso of note; since Dallas was included at 5, the SF 49ers and Colts also have 5 NFL Championships each.
Thanks for the cool song phantom writer. I had actually never heard this one before.
