Vikings D with the "Purple People Eaters" should be in there.

Before my time so I'm not super familiar with them.  I know they were really good but one thing they don't have in common with the 5 teams I listed is a Lombardi

I'd give the 2015 Broncos consideration.

They are on my honorable mention list right outside the Top 5.  They were very good

1991 Eagles deserve mention

Who similarly to the 85 Bears papa Ryan was the brains behind it 

I thought of them.  They would be on my honorable mention list but similar situation to the Purple People Eater's they didn't bring home the hardware so I couldn't put them on my Top 5 over any of the teams I listed that did.  Actually I don't think those Buddy Ryan Eagles teams ever made it out of the 1st Round in the playoffs?

You are correct.  Rich Kotite won a playoff game in 92 with them.

 

Ironically that day they won in Jan 93 was later on that day after The Comeback.  Obviously wasn’t as big a comeback but I know they were down at that game at halftime.

I know Buddy basically tried to replicate the 85 Bears in Philly.  I wouldn't mind seeing a 30 for 30 or something like that on why it ultimately didn't work out.

Inspired by the latest 30 for 30 on the 2000 Ravens:

 

1) 85 Bears

2) 00 Ravens

3) Steel Curtain Steelers

4) 02 Buccaneers

5) 2013 Seahawks

 

 

I would place the 1970 Super Bowl KC Chiefs in there, at #3 behind the Bears and the Steelers. Look at that rost

I think you mean the 1969 team?

The link you posted showed an 8th ranked defense on the year, whereas the 1969 team was #1
