Colts owner Jim Irsay clarifies the Patriots ‘ARE’ the greatest team in the Super Bowl era

For Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, an NFL team must meet a very specific criteria to be the crowned the greatest of all time: three Super Bowl championships in a row. So far, no team has cleared that bar.

Seven franchises, including the New England Patriots, have won back-t0-back Lombardi Trophies. The Patriots, with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady at the helm, are often lauded as the G.O.A.T. However, Irsay seemed hesitant to grant that honor in a tweet on Saturday.

The owner noted that no team has accomplished the “seemingly impossible goal,” which meant the dream was still alive for Colts fans who wished to be first.
