Contents
We all know the teams that have made it to the Super Bowl – but what about the ones that never made it? In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the NFL’s most unlucky teams, and find out what kept them from reaching the big game.
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 NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world.
Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest annual sporting event in America. Millions of people watch the game every year, whether live or on television. And many people place bets on who will win, either for fun or money.
But did you know that there are a number of NFL teams who have never made it to the Super Bowl? In this article, we’ll take a look at some of these teams and find out why they’ve never been able to make it to the big game.
The teams
The NFL Super Bowl is the biggest annual professional American football championship game in the United States. It is a single elimination game played by the two remaining teams in the National Football League (NFL) following a regular season of 16 weeks. Teams that have never made it to the Super Bowl are often referred to as the NFL’s “have-nots”.
Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American football franchise based in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Cardinals compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) West division. The Cardinals were founded as the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898, and are the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States. The team was established in Chicago in 1920 as the Chicago Cardinals, a charter member of the NFL. They participated in the first ever NFL championship game, later called the Decatur Staleys Stadium[“Cardinals” redirects here. For other uses, see Cardinal (disambiguation).]…In 1960, Bill Bidwill, whose father had bought a stake in the franchise one year earlier, moved them to St. Louis, Missouri – then home to Bud Adams’ Houston Oilers – where they played their home games at Busch Memorial Stadium through 1987 (with games at Arrowhead Stadium from 1973 onward).Before moving to Arizona, they were based out of Tempe, Arizona at Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University (ASU) from 1988 to 2005. The Cardinals play their home games at State Farm Stadium (known for sponsorship reasons as Cardinals Stadium), which opened there in 2006 and is located adjacent to ASU’s main campus in Glendale .
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL), and play their home games at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit. Originally based in Portsmouth, Ohio and called the Portsmouth Spartans, the team began play in 1929 as an independent professional team. For the 1930 season, the Spartans formally joined the NFL as the other area independents folds
The team was purchased in 1934 by George A. Richards, who moved the team to Detroit for the 1935 season. The Lions have won four NFL Championships, tied for 9th overall in total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchises; although they have not won an NFL title since 1957. The last time they appeared in a championship game was 1992. The franchise is currently valued at just under $1 billion by Forbes Magazine.
Houston Texans
In 2002, the Houston Texans became the 32nd NFL team and the first expansion team in almost a decade. The Texans have yet to make it to a Conference Championship game, much less the Super Bowl. In fact, they’ve only made the playoffs four times in their short history.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars have never made it to the Super Bowl. They played in the AFC Championship game twice, but lost both times.
New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints, founded in 1967, are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The team trains at facilities in Metairie, Louisiana and their offices are in New Orleans’ Metairie neighborhood.
The Saints began play as an expansion team in 1967. In their 51 years of existence, they have compiled an overall record of 341–428–5 (.443), qualifying for the playoffs 10 times. The franchise has won three NFL division championships (in 1991, 2000, and 2009), and they have produced two NFC Champions (in 2006 and 2009) and two NFC East Champions (in 2009 and 2010).
