I always think of it in terms of that four, five year run. At the time undefeated didn't seem like the big deal. It was Miami winning the super bowl.
Over the years, it has actually gained significance as the unbeatens from each year drop off.
Undefeated was amazing. Winning nine games with a 38-year-old backup quarterback at a time when that was ancient in NFL years. Going on the road in the playoffs to beat the Steelers.
But when I think back, its three super bowls in a row, repeating as champions and going 44-6-1 in that stretch. Even the Patriots can't claim something so dominant.
