FILE - In this Feb. 3, 2002, file photo, New England Patriots players reach out to touch the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-17 to win NFL football Super Bowl 36 in New Orleans. A pair of Super Bowl winning teams that launched dynasties in San Francisco and New England highlighted the list of the NFL's greatest teams, numbers 31-100. Coming in at No. 31 were the 1981 San Francisco 49ers led by coach Bill Walsh and quarterback Joe Montana.  The Patriots won a surprise title in 2001 after the untested Brady took over from the injured Drew Bledsoe early in the season. New England needed a favorable ruling and dramatic kick by Adam Vinatieri to win the "Tuck Rule" game against Oakland, won at Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game and slowed down the dynamic Rams offense for the franchise's first title. That team ranked 51st. (AP Photo/David J. Philli, File)
