Ranking the 10 best New England Patriots teams of all time

10. 1985 (11-5)

The lone non-Brady led team on the list set the groundwork for head coach and Hall of Famer Raymond Berry’s tenure in New England. Led by Hall of Famer Andre Tippett, the Patriots’ defense held opponents to a league-low 237 points throughout the 1985 campaign. With playoff wins over the likes of Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins, the Patriots’ eventual Super Bowl matchup would finish how many that came across the Chicago Bears would that season.
