Eagles are the most surprising. They've been good since even before I started following football, so their history pre-Dick Vermeil must have been downright dire.

The Eagles were not a strong team early in their team history

The Ravens assuming it's since Baltimore became a franchise.

I note that Giants still outrank Eagles, despite the latter having several solid eras in the past 30-40 years. Bob

I was surprised to see the Steelers just one percent higher than NYG

This would have a lot more relevance if the time period was shortened up.  Maybe a couple of lists, like Superbowl era, since 1980, and since the turn of the century.  As is, it really is no more than an historical curiosity.

I'd rather have a 36% and 2 Superbowl rings in the 21st century, than 55% and zero (count'em, zilch, nada, pffft) Superbowl rings in the last 25 years

That's right, Chokeboys fans...you haven't sniffed a Lombardi in over a quarter-century. I was a young man back then

Ideally you want to be a team that wins titles but also has a pretty high floor and seldom has embarrassing years. We're not that, but we do win titles, which is by far the most important thing. We just also unfortunately have very, very low periods, and sometimes they go on for quite a while. It's not like the phase we're in now isn't one we haven't been in multiple times before.
