If they win they will wear the crown of the best NFL team in history, surpassing the 1972 Dolphins who also went undefeated but did not play as many games since the regular season was only 14 games. If the Patriots win and cover Super Bowl they would also be thought of as a dynasty with four Super Bowl wins in seven years.
