Found this chart interesting. Out of the last 20 years, 13 different franchises have won it all.

I thought the lions technically do have a title

The crying emoji next to the Never makes this so much funnier to me than it would have been otherwise

It’s only in the Super Bowl era.

I'm not saying I'm old...

But, I remember watching all of those SB's!

For some reason, the 30 Year group jumps out: Dallas, SF, and Wash

To think of their heydays and then them not being able to climb the mountain again in a 30 year period since.

That’s about when the salary cap started and evened everything.

The Raiders/Redskins SB in 1984 was the first one I remember watching.

Other than the obvious Texans and Jags, the only two teams never to contest a Super Bowl are Cleveland and Detroit.

That list was quite a bit longer when I first started watching, at the end of the eighties. So in that respect at least, free agency and parity has had some effect.

Keep an eye on the "never" list and follow the money. Which is the biggest market? Houston? Look for them to get a lot of breaks as soon as they get decent management.

I was 13 the year of the 1st Super Bowl.

Oh wait... they didn't call the 1st two games as "Super Bowls" as they were officially the NFL-AFL Championship Games:

"The Packers won the first two AFL–NFL World Championship Games, later renamed Super Bowls, defeating the Chiefs and Oakland Raiders following the 1966 and 1967 seasons, respectively."

Listen here (to the beginning and also at the 3:00 mark, and also notice the Game Program at the 00:31 mark):


(Did I mention that I was old...)

Meanwhile, the NY team has gone 60 seasons without a Super Bowl.

Nobody cares about the Texans. Im annoyed by the fact that every Sunday thier games come on TV even though i dont live in Houston area. Sure Houston is a large TV market but that doesnt make the Texans a large market team or draw.

The Texans main problem is the Cowboys. Texas has spent six decades as a Cowboy state.
