This is one thing I tend to forget, the NFL does try to prevent years long dynasties. What they want is teams rotating in and out of being contenders. You do well, you have to play a tougher schedule and you have less chances to draft good players, which should over time bring you down. Like, they in a way punish success, which makes sense, they want people who follow a team like Denver or Steelers to have a reason to watch every week and remain invested.
