Dallas Cowboys are one of the teams that went to the most Super Bowls in

the NFL history. They have a lot of records in the Hall of Fame. One of

their records is the longest touchdown run by Emmitt Smith. Troy Aikman is a rising star in 1990’s. The Cowboys won

five out of eight Super Bowls.

One of the Denver Bronco’s records for the most touchdown passes

completed without an interception was held by John Elway, but almost

broken by Peyton Manning. John Elway took the Broncos to a couple of

Super Bowls. Peyton Manning’s passes are as fast as a jet.

Baltimore Ravens went to two Super Bowls and won both. Rey Lewis was the one of the best

linebackers they ever had. Michael Oher is one of the

Raven’s offense linemen, and he started at the bottom and

worked hard to get into the NFL.

San Francisco Forty-Niners are tied with the Cowboys with Super Bowl

wins. Joe Montana helped Jerry Rice to get his record of most

receptions in a career. Later Jerry Rice’s record got broken by Calvin

Johnson (Megatron) in 2013.

Greenbay Packers is one out of the two oldest teams in the NFL.

Brett Farve set the record the longest toucdown pass.

Detroit Lions the first team to have a win less season.

Calvin Johnson (Megatron) broke Jerry Rice’s record in 2013. Calvin Johnson is still on the

Detroit Lions team.

New England Patriots has the best quarterback that ever played in the whole NFL. Tom Brady started as a back up for Drew Bledsoe, but he

earned as the starter quarterback in a middle of the season’s game. Tom

Brady almost beat Drew Brees’ record of most games with a

touchdown pass.

New Orleans Saints won their first Super Bowl in 2010.

Drew Brees set the record most games with a touchdown pass. He had 54 straight games with a

touchdown pass.

Minnesota Vikings has the top running back in the NFL.

Adrian Peterson almost beat the record for the most rushing yards in

a season. He was off by nine yards.

If you want to get into the NFL, you have to put a lot of effort and never

give up on it. Some players started playing football

in small towns. They never quit on their dreams.

They finally got into the NFL, and eventually they will get to the Hall of

Fame.
