When the fifth Super Bowl banner gets unveiled tonight, it’ll be another reminder that the dynasty built in Foxboro under Bill Belichick will go down as one of the most dominant runs in NFL history.
It doesn’t matter how this season plays out. Five Super Bowl titles in 17 seasons has etched a permanent place in NFL annals for Belichick and Tom Brady.
However, there’s another record in reach for the Patriots that would bolster their claim to owning the most dominant stretch in NFL history.
Since 2001, the Patriots have recorded 16 straight winning seasons with at least nine victories, tied for the longest streak in NFL history.
