They have also played in more AFC conference championship games than any other team and are tied with the Dallas Cowboys with 14 championship game appearances in either the NFC or AFC contests. Since the NFL merger in 1970, the Pittsburgh Steelers have compiled a regular season record of 363-235-2 (.607) and an overall record of 394-253-2 (.609) including the playoffs.

New York Giants - Super Bowl XLII Champions

The Giants made the NFL Playoffs with a 10-6 record and played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card Playoffs. They avenged a third playoff loss from Bucs QB Jeff Garcia by beating them 24-14. Eli Manning earned his first playoff victory and Tom Coughlin picked up his first playoff victory as coach of the Giants. In the divisional round they defeated the first seed Dallas Cowboys by a score of 21-17 and advanced to the NFC Championship. They set the record for most consecutive road wins (which currently stands at 11 after the 2007-2008 postseason), and became the first team to defeat the #1 seed of their division since the 1990 playoff re-alignment. With a 23-20 overtime win over the Packers in Green Bay they advanced to Super Bowl XLII, where they met the undefeated New England Patriots in Arizona. The Patriots (18-0) had entered the game undefeated and 12-point favorites. With an improbable final score of 17-14, the Giants defeated the Patriots and marked one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl History. Manning was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

New England Patriots - 3-time Super Bowl Champions

An original member of the American Football League, the Patriots joined the NFL in the league merger of 1970. The team advanced to the playoffs four times before appearing in Super Bowl XX in January 1986. This Super Bowl appearance resulted in a loss to the Chicago Bears. The team also appeared in, and lost Super Bowl XXXI in 1997, to the Green Bay Packers. Between 2001 and 2004, the Patriots became the second team in NFL history (after the Dallas Cowboys) to win three Super Bowls in four years (Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, and XXXIX), and the eighth (and to date, the last) time a team has won consecutive Super Bowls. Their dominance in the early part of the decade has some dubbing them as the modern NFL championship dynasty.

Chicago Bears - Super Bowl XX Champions

The NFC champion Chicago Bears, seeking their first NFL title since 1963, scored a Super Bowl-record 46 points in downing AFC champion New England 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. The previous record for most points in a Super Bowl was 38. The Bears' league-leading defense tied the Super Bowl record for sacks (7) and limited the Patriots to a record-low seven rushing yards. Bears defensive end Richard Dent became the fourth defender to be named the game's Most Valuable Player after contributing 1½ sacks. The Bears' victory margin of 36 points was the largest in Super Bowl history. Jim McMahon completed 12 of 20 passes for 256 yards before leaving the game in the fourth period with a wrist injury. The NFL's all-time leading rusher, Bears running back Walter Payton, carried 22 times for 61 yards. Wide receiver Willie Gault caught four passes for 129 yards, the fourth-most receiving yards in a Super Bowl. Chicago coach Mike Ditka became the second man (Tom Flores of Raiders was the other) to win a Super Bowl ring as a player and as a coach.

Green Bay Packers - Super Bowl XXXI Champion

After winning Super Bowl I & II the Packers became a losing team for much of the 1970s and 1980s. Fortunes changed in the early 90's with the hiring of General Manager Ron Wolf, head coach Mike Holmgren, and key player additions in Brett Favre and Reggie White. Green Bay made the playoffs in the 1993, 1994, and the 1995 seasons. In 1996, the Packers posted an NFC-best 13-3 regular season record after winning 8 of their first 9 games to start the season. After losing two straight games in November, they finished off the regular season winning their remaining five games, including dominating wins over two playoff teams, the Denver Broncos 41-6 and the Minnesota Vikings 38-10. The Packers also had the best defense in the league in both points and yards. They allowed 210 points and also scored an NFL best 456 points, becoming the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to score the most points in the league and allow the fewest. In the Super Bowl, the Packers dominated the Patriots on both sides of the ball, out gaining New England 323 yards to 257 and intercepting quarterback Drew Bledsoe four times. Reggie White set a Super Bowl record with three sacks, including back-to-back takedowns in the 3rd quarter. Desmond Howard returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and Brett Favre passed for two touchdowns and ran for a score as the Packers won their first Super Bowl in twenty-nine years. Howard, en route to garnering the MVP trophy, equaled a Super Bowl record with 244 total return yards.
