Which NFL teams have never played in a Super Bowl? The answer may surprise you.

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league. It was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself as the National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL agreed to merge with the American Football League (AFL) in 1966, and the first Super Bowl was held at the end of that season; following the merger, Super Bowl Sunday is considered to be an unofficial national holiday.

As of 2020, there are 32 NFL teams split into two conferences: the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). From 1920 to 1931, each team played two games against every other team; in 1932, this increased to playing each team three times. Since 2002, each team plays every other team at least once during the regular season.

Out of these 32 teams, 20 have played in at least one Super Bowl as of 2020; this includes nine teams who have won at least one Super Bowl. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowls, more than any other team; they are also tied with the New England Patriots for most appearances in a Super Bowl, with eleven apiece. The Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos have each appeared eight times, while the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants have both appeared five times.

There are a number of reasons why certain NFL teams have never made it to the Super Bowl. For some teams, like the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns, it’s simply because they’ve never been good enough. Other teams, like the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills, have made it to the big game but just haven’t been able to win it all. And then there are other franchises that have never even had a chance to play on football’s biggest stage.

Some of these teams have come close to reaching the Super Bowl but ultimately fell short. The Minnesota Vikings made it to four Super Bowls in 1970, 1974, 1975, and 1977 but lost all of them. The Atlanta Falcons made it to Super Bowl LI in 2017 but lost to the New England Patriots in a historic comeback. And the San Francisco 49ers made it to five Super Bowls in 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, and 1995 but only won two of them.
