The National Football League has presented the Vince Lombardi Trophy to many teams over the years. There are three teams that have won more championships than any other franchise in NFL history.

The Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers has won more National Football League championships than any other team. This franchise has won six championships. They have participated in some of the most exciting Super Bowl games in the history of the league. Many experts suggest that The Steelers had the best defensive line in the seventies.

3 Most Epic Football Games of All Time

April 12, 2011 – 12:03 pm

Professional football has begun to replace baseball as the great American past-time. In an action packed 4 quarters and two halves gladiators take to the field in an impressive display of will, skill, and heart. It is a clash of the titans that creates immortals out of flesh and blood. Most of the top players are household names and can be regarded as national celebrities. The superbowl is perhaps the most watched sporting event ever and one of the most watched shows on television. The final game of the season, a competition between the two best teams, draws millions of people to livingrooms, bars, and pubs to watch and see who will be the victor. The super bowl is so popular that television stations charge advertisers millions just so their product can be viewed by the millions watching. There have been so many epic superbowl games but here are the top three of all time.

1). “The Greatest Game Ever Played”
Baltimore Colts 23, New York Giants 17 (OT)
NFL Championship Game, Dec. 28, 1958

This was the first sudden death overtime NFL game to be televised and was aptly titled the Greatest Game ever played. Johnny Unitas was perhaps the first celebrity NFL player to emerge from this game.

2). “The Catch”
49ers 28, Cowboys 27
NFC Championship Game, Jan. 10, 1982 at San Francisco
Dwight Clark was immortalized in a play that still astounds sports fans to this day.

3). “Epic in Miami”
Chargers 41, Dolphins 38 (OT)
AFC Divisional Playoff Game, Jan. 2, 1982 at Miami.
Few may remember this game, but Kellen Winslow’s performance has been called one of the best individual performances in all of sport’s history even through the pain he manages to just keep blocking kicks, catching passes, and delivering bone crushing blocks.
