The chief objective for any NFL team is to reach and win the Super Bowl. It is considered one of the most incredible honors in the game of football.
Teams fight for a chance to appear once in the Super Bowl, and to win, well, that's the dream. However, some teams have repeated their dreams quite a few times.
The New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers both have six Super Bowl championships, however, the franchise that has the most Super Bowl appearances is the Patriots -- appearing in the Super Bowl for a total of 11 times.
The Patriots made the Super Bowl nine times during the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick dynasty between 2001 and 2018, once in 1996 led by quarterback Drew Bledsoe and head coach Bill Parcels, and once in 1985 led by Tony Eason and Raymond Berry.
