like in the 2020s or the last ten years?

since 'best' is ambiguous i'll interpret it as the most exciting and choose the 2022 minnesota vikings

If the decade covers the years 2024-2034 then yes.

NO

2017 Patriots
#3 ranked offense (scored 27.6 PPG)
#1 ranked defense (allowed 15.6 PPG)

2025 Eagles
#7 ranked offense (scored 27.2 PPG)
#2 ranked defense (allowed 17.8 PPG)




I think I have said this several times in here, but the Patriots defenses during their dynasty are mostly an after thought to the general public and horribly underrated. Because the common fan likes to just point at the QB, which was the GOAT Tom Brady who sucked up all of the credit. It's really a shame IMO. Those teams were so much more than Tom Brady.

Bunch of triggered Cowboys fans can't stop talking about the Eagles.

OP obviously meant 2020-2024.

What don't you understand about "this decade thus far"? That's 2020-2024.

thus far implies that it's the start of this decade 2020-2024. Had I typed the past decade that would be the past 10 years.

Okay so we have established that 2014-24 = NO and 2024-34 = YES

Wait, so what was the question again?

Best of the decade halfway through?
Seems a little premature. Would be a much better discussion in 5 years or so.

Eagles

The 2017 Vikings with Sam Bradford were the team of the decade for one game:
