3 Teams Set to Compete for Multiple Super Bowl Wins over the Next Decade

Projecting teams to win multiple Super Bowl is quite the difficult task, because, well, winning multiple Super Bowls isn't an easy thing to do and doesn't happen very often. 

However, I'll take a stab at the three teams that could be set to at least compete for multiple Super Bowls over the next decade. 

These teams have a franchise quarterback in place and a slew of young talent on their roster. 

Detroit Lions 

How can the Lions not be the next up-and-coming team?

Matthew Stafford has battled injuries early in his career, but he played all 16 games in 2011 and absolutely torched the rest of the NFL. While Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers captured the majority of the headlines in terms of their prolific passing seasons, Stafford quietly threw for 5,038 yards with 41 touchdowns and a 97.2 QB rating. 

If he stays healthy, he has the arm strength, accuracy and swagger to be an elite signal-caller in the near future. 

Having Calvin Johnson, the league's best wide receiver (no question in my mind), lining up on the outside is clearly a huge factor in Stafford's impending accomplishments. 

Johnson, if not already there, is entering his prime at 26 years old. 

Stafford and Johnson are the ideal base to a wildly successful future in Detroit. 

Their running game needs more life and overall consistency, but remember 2011 second-round pick Mikel Leshoure was injured his entire rookie season with an Achilles' tendon injury.

Those type of tears aren't easy to come back from, but if he and Best can return to the backfield, they should have enough competence to take some pressure away from the passing game. The league's pass-happy, and the Lions have the makeup to follow the trend. 

Don't forget about rookie wideout Titus Young, who transitioned well from Boise State, catching 48 passes for 607 yards and six touchdowns last season.

On defense, they have the youthful and energetic talent to become special. Ndamukong Suh is the intimidating anchor on a solid defensive line.

With a full offseason to prepare, I think we'll see more of an impact from 2011 first-round pick Nick Fairley, and Cliff Avril is a future star at the defensive end spot. He's only 25 years old and has increased his sack numbers in each of his first four seasons in the NFL. 

The Purdue product tallied 11.5 this year. 

They could use more talent in their secondary, but a lot of their more under-appreciated defensive backs will appear to be much better when the defensive line in front of them is causing continual havoc on opposing quarterbacks. 

There's a tremendous amount of promise in the Motor City. 

Cincinnati Bengals 

The Bengals are another youthful club with the correct beginning pieces set to become an AFC contender for many years to come.

Andy Dalton didn't explode onto the scene in his rookie year, but he exceeded a countless amount of expectations and was relatively steady under center.

Fellow first-year guy, wideout A.J. Green was a deep-threat dynamo, and his 65-catch, 1,057-yard, seven-touchdown season earned him a trip to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.

The future is bright for those two offensive players.

The Bengals' front office will likely look for another receiving threat and a young running back in this year's draft. Remember, they have two first-round picks. 

On defense, watch out.

If you haven't heard of defensive tackle Geno Atkins, you will in 2012. The second-year guy out of Georgia totaled 7.5 sacks in 2011 and was picked as a second-team All-Pro.

He's 23.

Physical freak Michael Johnson is slowly becoming a terror on the edge. The 24-year-old defensive end had six sacks in 2011 and is entering what should be the most productive time of his career.  

Carlos Dunlap, another monster defensive end with limitless upside as an athlete, is 22. 

Rey Maualuga doesn't have a Patrick Willis-type impact on games, but he's progressing to the type of player the Bengals thought they were getting out of USC in 2009.

The secondary is solid, especially when Leon Hall returns from injury. 

Houston Texans 

The Texans are the final young and extremely talented team that has the potential to compete for multiple Super Bowl championships. 

Matt Schaub will return in 2012 from a freak foot injury, and when he does, he's one of the better gunslingers in the game. 

Star wideout Andre Johnson faces a similar situation. He was riddled with hamstring injuries in 2011 but should return to full strength to reclaim his spot among the best receivers in football. 

Expect Houston to find a complementary receiver in free agency or the draft. 

Despite their ability to hit the big play aerially, they are a ground-and-pound type of club that wears you down as the game enters the fourth quarter. 

Arian Foster is only 25 and has a fine backup in Ben Tate out of Auburn. The two runners combined for more than 2,100 rushing yards this season. 

The defense is scary. 

Wade Phillips heads one of the youngest, most aggressive and tenacious groups in football. Even after they lost their best defender, Mario Williams, to a pectoral tear, they were tremendous in 2011. 

Connor Barwin, a 2009 second-round pick, had 11.5 sacks this season. Rookie Brooks Reed filled in for Williams and had six quarterback takedowns.

Fellow rookie J.J. Watt had 5.5 sacks and was one of the most reliable defensive linemen in football this season. The same goes for Pro Bowler Antonio Smith, who's the veteran leader of this dominant group. 

You can't forget about middle linebacker Brian Cushing, either. 

Johnathan Joseph is a lockdown corner, and the rest of the secondary feeds off the stellar play from their front seven. 

When everyone returns from injury, this is one frightening team.
