There are two more rounds of postseason football left until we reach Super Bowl LVII. Of the eight teams that qualified for the divisional round, the Packers, 49ers, Ravens and Buccaneers are no strangers to winning the Lombardi Trophy.
It is important to note that not all NFL teams that will compete in the divisional round have been as fortunate as the others. In the history of football, twelve teams have never won a championship and four teams have yet to reach the Super Bowl. Among these teams are the Bills, who will play in this year’s divisional round and have reached the Super Bowl four times, but have never won it. Furthermore, the Lions and Texans have never experienced the NFL Finals.
By contrast, several teams have won multiple Super Bowls, with the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers leading the way with six wins each in the big game.
Which NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl?
Houston Texans
The youngest franchise in the NFL, Houston was founded and first entered the league in 2002. They have not made a single Super Bowl appearance. With their young quarterback, CJ Stroud, making waves this season, the Texans have a real chance to change this historic statistic.
Detroit Lions
The Lions went through a challenging period of rebuilding, and it finally appears that coach Dan Campbell has changed the culture of a team that has never appeared in a Super Bowl and is the only NFC franchise that has never played for the trophy.
Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are 0-2 in Super Bowl appearances all-time and their prospects for getting another shot at the trophy don’t look bright. After another season to forget, with a young rookie quarterback set to play as a sophomore next year, the prospect of them getting another shot at Super Bowl greatness is slim.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have played in the Super Bowl twice, in 1998 and 2016, without success. Their 7-10 record this season, like last season, earned them a third-place finish in the NFC South division, behind the Bucs and Saints, and ousted them from the playoffs.
Cincinnati Bengals
Quarterback Joe Burrow nearly led the Bengals to their first Super Bowl victory two years ago, but the team fell to the Los Angeles Rams in their third chance at the championship. The team was defeated in the franchise’s first two Super Bowl appearances by the San Francisco 49ers during the 1980s.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars made the playoffs last season led by young quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and were on the verge of doing so again, but a series of poor results at the end of the season, with Lawrence’s injury, prevented them from repeating the feat. . . The team has never made it to the Super Bowl and it will be exciting to see if their recent rise will continue and lead them to the final game.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers landed the last of three talented quarterbacks in the 2020 draft class and arguably the best in Justin Herbert. The season of injuries has also prevented Herbert from earning a postseason berth this year.
The Chargers have had one AFL championship title to their name since 1963. Based in San Diego from 1961 to 2016, the franchise came closest to Super Bowl glory in 1994.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings have a storied playoff history that hasn’t been storied enough to include a Super Bowl victory. They have had four stabs at the championship, but fell each time.
The team won the NFL Championship in 1969. However, this is part of a four-year overlap where the NFL and AFL Championship winners faced off in the Super Bowl at the end of the season. While after the 1969 season, the two leagues merged into the NFL as we know it now. Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals have reached the final game of the season only once since winning the 1947 NFL Championship 73 seasons ago. They appeared in the Super Bowl in 2008. They are the oldest franchise that has not yet won the championship.
Tennessee Titans
The Titans have been making changes to their coaching staff, firing their head coach, Mike Vrabel, after being eliminated from the playoffs this season.
The team lost the AFL Championship Games in 1962 and 1967, and its first and only chance to win the Super Bowl came in 1999.
Cleveland Browns
Cleveland hasn’t been in a position to win a Super Bowl since Bernie Kosar led the franchise to back-to-back appearances in the AFC Championship Game in the mid-1980s.
The team lost the NFL Championship in 1969 and was inactive for three seasons in the mid-1990s, when the original franchise moved to Baltimore to become the Ravens.
Buffalo Bills
The Bills will be the favorites to win the league championship this season, thanks to the quality of Josh Allen, considered one of the best quarterbacks in the game.
