Which NFL Teams Haven’t Won a Super Bowl?

We all know the teams that have won Super Bowls, but which ones haven’t? Here’s a look at the NFL teams that are still waiting for their first Lombardi Trophy.

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league. It was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself 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; the merger was completed in 1970. Today, the NFL has the highest average attendance (67,591) of any professional sports league in the world and is the most popular sports league in the United States.

The Teams

There are a total of thirteen NFL teams who have never won a Super Bowl. This includes the teams who have never even made it to the big game. Let’s take a look at the teams, their home cities, and when they were founded.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals have never won a Super Bowl. They’ve been to the big game twice, but lost both times. The first time was in 2009 when they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-23. The second time was in 2008 when they lost to the New York Giants 17-14.

Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have not won a Super Bowl in their entire history.

The Texans have won only two division championships (in 2011 and 2012) since their founding and have never played in a conference championship game.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Los Angeles Chargers

Super Bowls are the biggest annual event in American football. They are the most-watched American television broadcast and has become one of the biggest social events of the year. The game itself is an extravaganza, with a week of hype leading up to it, and millions of dollars spent on advertising by the companies that air it.

The Super Bowl is also a very big day for betting, with people wagering on everything from the coin toss to the final score. And, of course, which team will win. In recent years, there have been some major upsets, with underdogs like the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots winning against all odds.

But there are still a few teams that have never won a Super Bowl. As of 2019, these are the teams that have yet to hoist the Lombardi trophy:

-Los Angeles Chargers
-Minnesota Vikings
-Buffalo Bills
-Cleveland Browns
-Tennessee Titans
