Don't challenge me!
Since the inception of instant replay in 1999, no team has initiated more challenges than the AFC West rival Denver Broncos. Denver has challenged 58 calls and also received more reversals (24) than any other team in the league. By comparison, the St. Louis Rams, a team known for its liberal use of instant replay, have initiated 53 challenges and been awarded 18 reversals. The Broncos lead the league this year, as well, with 13 challenges and eight reversed rulings. Marty Schottenheimer and the Chargers are 6-for-8 on challenges this year, the league’s best success percentage in 2005. He credits assistant coach John Pagano, who makes a recommendation to Schottenheimer from the coaches box after watching the television replays.

Fantastic. This is exactly what I've been searching for. Where can we find these facts? I've searched and searched. And you know what? I guessed Denver with the most. And I guessed the Patriots as a close second.
