Uncover the Shocking Truth Behind the Top 25 NFL Teams of the Last Quarter Century—Who Made the Ultimate List?
17. 2000 Oakland Raiders (11.52)
The Raiders haven’t had a ton of success over this span, but they did reach the Super Bowl behind NFL MVP Rich Gannon at the end of the 2002 season before losing 48-21 to former coach Jon Gruden and the Buccaneers. However, it was the 2000 team that was the franchise’s best during this time. That club finished 12-4 and reached the AFC title game before falling 16-3 against a Ray Lewis-led Ravens defense.
18. 2005 Indianapolis Colts (11.46)
The Colts set a franchise record with 14 victories (they would match it four years later) in 2005, but suffered a stunning 21-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers (more on them in a bit) in the AFC divisional round. Peyton Manning and Co. would make up for a year later by beating the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl.
