Contents
A lot of NFL teams have never been to the Super Bowl. In fact, there are only a handful of teams that have ever made it to the big game. Here’s a look at the teams that have never been to the Super Bowl.
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important game of the year, and all 32 teams dream of making it there. However, not every team has been fortunate enough to play in the big game. In fact, there are a number of NFL teams that have never even made it to the Super Bowl. This article will take a look at some of those teams.
Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have never been to a Super Bowl. The Browns have been to the playoffs ten times since they joined the NFL in 1950, but they have never won a championship.
Detroit Lions
While the Detroit Lions have been around since 1930, they have yet to make an appearance in the Super Bowl. In fact, they are the only team in the NFL to have never made it to the big game. The Lions have come close, though, making it to the Conference Championship game six times. They will be looking to finally make that elusive Super Bowl appearance in the near future.
Houston Texans
Despite being one of the most successful teams in recent NFL history, the Houston Texans have never been to the Super Bowl. The franchise was founded in 2002 and has made the playoffs 10 times, winning the AFC South division six times.
