The Cleveland Browns

The Browns have never won a Super Bowl, but they did win the NFL Championship in 1950, 1954, 1955, and 1964. The Browns have been to the playoffs ten times since they returned to the NFL in 1999, but they have only won one playoff game.

The Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have not won a Super Bowl. The Lions have won four NFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl era.

The Houston Texans

The Houston Texans have not won the Super Bowl.

The Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars have never won the Super Bowl. The Jaguars have only been to the playoffs 10 times in their 25-year history and have only won two playoff games.

The Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have never won a Super Bowl, despite being one of the most successful teams in NFL history. They have appeared in four Super Bowls, all of which they lost. The most recent was in 2017, when they lost to the eventual champion Philadelphia Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) East division. In the 2017 season, the team won Super Bowl LII, their first Super Bowl win in franchise history and their fourth NFL title overall, after winning the Championship Game in 1948, 1949, and 1960.

The San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers have not won the Super Bowl. They have been to one Super Bowl, which was Super Bowl XXIX in 1995, but they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 49-26.

The Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks have played in three Super Bowls, but have never won the big game.

Some experts believe that the Seahawks have the best chance to break through and win their first Super Bowl this year. They have a strong defense and a talented quarterback in Russell Wilson. They also have a good head coach in Pete Carroll.

The Seahawks will need to overcome some tough opponents if they want to win the Super Bowl this year. The NFC West is a very tough division, and they will likely have to play the Green Bay Packers or the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football team based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division. Along with the Seattle Seahawks, the team joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. The Bucs played their first season in the American Football Conference (AFC) West division as part of an agreement between the two newly formed conferences. In 2002, they joined the NFC South.

The Buccaneers have won one Super Bowl title, one Conference championship, six Division championships, and have made ten Playoff appearances. They are one of three NFL teams to have never played in a Super Bowl, along with the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns, and one of only two teams to have never won a playoff game, along with the Lions. From 1999 to 2001 under head coach Tony Dungy, they became consistent playoff contenders and won Super Bowl XXXVII at the end of their 2002 campaign.

The Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans have never won the Super Bowl, but they did make it to the big game in 2000, where they lost to the St. Louis Rams. The Titans franchise began in 1960 as the Houston Oilers, and they played in Houston until 1997 when they moved to Tennessee. The team was renamed the Titans in 1999. In total, the Titans have made it to the playoffs 17 times, but they have only won their conference championship once (in 1999).

The Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins have never won a Super Bowl. They have been to five Super Bowls, but they have never won.
