Pittsburgh Steelers — as one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, the Pittsburgh Steelers are part of the North division of the AFC in the NFL. They were founded in 1933, and have one six Super Bowl titles, making them the top choice for American football teams in the league based off this fact alone. They have also 18 AFC championship games and have won 11 conference championship games, more than any other AFC or NFC team. The last championship that the Pittsburgh Steelers won was for Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009. The Pittsburgh Steelers were founded originally as the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 8, 1933 by Art Rooney. Their fans remain some of the NFL’s most passionate ones, calling themselves “Steeler nation”.
Dallas Cowboys— As an American football franchise in the NFC league, this is one of the most valuable teams in the NFL. The Cowboys play their home games at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas and joined the NFL in 1960 as an expansion team originally. This team holds the NFL record for consecutive home sellouts, with 160 sold-out regular and postseason games. This streak began in 1990, and included 79 sellouts at Texas Stadium and 81 straight sellouts on the road. They are tied for the most Super Bowl appearances alongside the Pittsburgh Steelers, and are the only team to record 20s winning seasons from 1966 to 1985. They are the highest valued sports franchise in the history of the US, and only second in the world behind Manchester United in the English Premier league. The Dallas Cowboys are estimated to be worth $1.65 billion, and generate almost $300 million in revenue annually.
