NFL Teams with the Most Preseason Dominance
Some NFL teams have historically shown exceptional performance in preseason games, often building long winning streaks or maintaining high winning percentages.
The top 3
- Longest Preseason Winning Streaks Ever Recorded: The Baltimore Ravens hold the NFL record for the longest preseason winning streak, achieving 24 consecutive victories before it ended in August 2023. This surpassed Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers, who had a 19-game streak from 1959-1962.
- Top 3 Teams by All-Time Regular Season Winning Percentage: While preseason records fluctuate, historically, the Green Bay Packers lead all NFL teams with the highest regular season winning percentage at .572 through the 2025 season. The Chicago Bears have the highest winning percentage including playoffs when playing over 300 games, at 55.0%. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the highest winning percentage since 1960, at 57.7%.
- Preseason Success to Regular Season Playoff Conversion Rate: While preseason success doesn't always directly translate, a 2016 analysis showed teams winning their Preseason Week 3 game netted 23% more regular season wins, and 50% or more of playoff teams each year were Preseason Week 3 winners. However, other analyses suggest a weak correlation, with winning all preseason games not being a strong predictor of regular season success. Historically, 30 out of 38 Super Bowl champions (78.9%) had a preseason winning percentage of .500 or higher.
