Saquon Barkley hjas been with the Philadelphia Eagles for just a single season, but he has already endeared himself to fans of the team for his historic 2024 campign.
Leading Philadelphia's offense with a team record 2,005 rushing yards, Barkley helped the Eagles role through the 2024 slate en route to the most dominant playoff run in league history.
So strong was Philly's playoff run to a Super Bowl title last year, that Barkley claimed that the team was one of the greatest ever in league history. ... "top-five,'' he said.
There have been a lot of dominant Super Bowl teams over the years. Many dynasties have been built off those rosters.
Is Barkley right, though? Here's it's time for our breakdown ... a look at if the veteran running back has a claim to naming the 2024 Eagles one of the best of all-time by coming up with our own rankings. ...
Honorable Mention: 1992 Cowboys, 2014 Patriots, 1998 Broncos
All three teams deserve their place in history as Super Bowl winning teams that dominated the league, both in the regular season and the playoffs. They just miss out on the top-five slot now.
5. 2024 Eagles
After Week 5, it seemed like no one could get in the Eagles way on either side of the ball. They reached 18 wins last season this year, just the fourth team to do so, and third to do so with a win.
They scored the most combined points in the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl in league history, and that alone highlights just how historic this group really was throughout last season.
4. 1972 Dolphins
Miami had fewer losses than the Eagles or Cowboys' Super Bowl teams, but the Dolphins are still the only team to go undefeated with a title in league history. That alone will put them on this list.
3. 1984 49ers
Much like the Eagles, the 49ers in 1984 rolled through the playoffs, en route to a Super Bowl blowout over the Miami Dolphins. This was arguably the greatest year of the Bill Walsh-Joe Montana dynasty, and it was only their second title. They remain one of the greatest dynasties in history, but the '84 squad was the best of the group.
2. 1985 Bears
There hasn't been a more dominant single-season team in NFL history than the '85 Bears. Their defense was historical and rolled through the league both in the regular season and Super Bowl.
1. 1978 Steelers
Unlike many teams on this list, the Steelers' run to the Super Bowl in 1978 saw them throw beatdowns on some of the greatest teams of all-time of that era. They finished a win shy of the Bears, 49ers, and Eagles, but this team was the best of the greatest dynasty in the sport and deserves their spot as the top team in league history.
