Just for the record, I think the best team was the '85 Bears. I'm hearing a lot of arguments for the '72 Dolphins, accounting to their perfect season, but I disagree. All the Dolphins' opponents that year had a combined record below .400. And the Redskins were favored in the Super Bowl that year. The Bears, on the other hand, may not have been undefeated but they actually won more games during the season than the '72 Dolphins. They shut out both of their playoff opponents on the way to the Super bowl that year, which they won by a 36-point margin. The most one-sided Super Bowl to that point. Throughout the playoffs and SB that year, the Bears outscored their opponents 91-10.
