TEAM OF THE DECADE?

By Robert Deutsch, USA TODAY

The New England Patriots might have the most Super Bowl wins in the 2000s, but the best regular-season record of the decade is up for grabs. Bill Belichick's Patriots have only two more wins than Tony Dungy's Indianapolis Colts since 2000. With two seasons left before the calendar turns to 2010, it looks like a two-team race to earn the title of best team of the 2000s. A look at the teams with the most wins since 2000:
