Jim McMahon was mostly known for winning a Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears but said Wednesday it is the team’s NFC North rival that was the best organization he has been at.

McMahon played with the Bears from 1982 to 1988 before playing for the San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and eventually the Green Bay Packers. He was a backup for Brett Favre during the team’s Super Bowl run during the 1996 season.

"It was the best team, or the best organization, that I’ve played for of the seven teams I’ve played for," the two-time Super Bowl winner said of the Packers in an interview with 1252 Sports in Chicago. "By far. From top to bottom it was great people."

He added: "Chicago is where quarterbacks go to die."
