So as of now, 13 teams haven't won a Super Bowl:

Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans.



Of those teams, 4 have never made a Super Bowl:

Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Texans had a damn good chance 2012 if they didn't lose to the Vikings and multiple other late games. But it wasn't to be as the texans another team that has made losing a art.

Lions despite their name they have been the damn opposite with a major lack of success including the only 0-16 team.

Browns another team that has made losing a art, and has been crap since returning in 1999.

Jaguars In the coughlin days they prospered lately they've been in a mud pit going from bad of worse including 2012 2-14.

Maybe more. We likely need a QB again.


But you have to admit, that's like the media's least favorite Super Bowl possibility.

Looks like it would be Titans and Jags

Of yeah, Super Bowl V is clearly one of the, if not the, worst. He just said "in decades," so I didn't take it to mean the full 48 years...more like 20 to at most 30 years.

Some special on it and others in nfl network including others can't remember what it was.
It was mocked as the blunder bowl. :)

What's great about horrid football games the mockery and lines that talk about how horrid it was.

"This was hard to watch."
As a analyst said in the 2 game of giants eagles that was damn ugly from what I heard.
Maybe that's where that idea for horrid football came for this 2007 comedy movie the comebacks with Matthew Lawrence.
Also the waterboy.

Honestly, in the last 20 years

9 teams have left the "never appeared list"

And I believe 7 have left the "never won a Super Bowl" list.



There might be more parity there than you think.

And hope the titans join before this decade ends.
Seahawks were great in second appearance with a win.

I'm optimistic titans can when they get in the Super Bowl for the second time.
Have the right pieces, whunt can make them great.

That's not a super bowl possibility. If one were to go by this list (which is dumb, because these rankings probably fluctuate with teams' on-field performance), the worst possible matchup would be the Titans and Rams, which ironically has already happened lol (and was a hell of a game)

Jemele Hill(not a fan of hers) of all people spoke beautifully about that game this morning on sports reporters.

Can't be two teams from the same conference.


Actually, I guess Detroit's enough of a large enough sized city/market that it would somewhat balance out their lack of national favoritism in the media's eyes...I'm not sure where the team ranks with the city though (fandom, etc)



I'm saying the right balance of smaller city size and not nationally "always popular" franchises to make the media just loathe it.

I have the feeling though that Saint Louis is a bigger market than some of these other less-popular NFC teams as well.

It's got to be a mixture of less-popular but also smaller media size as well.


But yeah, a four year popularity list is a poor manner of creating such a matchup because of the likelihood of fluctuations.

And only one NFL city has neither played in, nor hosted a Super Bowl: Cleveland

Ya'll are crazy homers. I love Peyton and all, but he can't do anything to speed up the game when Seattle has the ball. They will grind. Keep in mind that Seattle has played top 10 defenses in 5 of their last 6 games. They'll score on Denver. Also worth noting, Denver has the most lost fumbles in the league (16) and Seattle has a +20 turnover margin (39 takeaways). Peyton will do his thing, but in the end Denver has too many holes.

Go Hawks.

You're not a homer at all. Seattle scores in large part because of field position. Against SF and NO they only scored 6 total points on drives that started inside their own 35.

The more the Broncos move the ball the more trouble Seattle will have scoring. If the Broncos play a clean offensive game I can't see Seattle scoring more than 17-21.

Good call.

Yup that's like relying on preseason rankings for the predictor of the season for college football or any college sport.

Peyton is to blame. I love the guy, favorite all time player, pull for him like crazy whenever he plays. But he is what he is in the biggest games..... he chokes. Game reminds me of the '96 Florida game when he threw 4 first half picks. Hope he and the Broncos find a way to pull off the greatest comeback in SB history. Hate that it looks like he's gonna lose this game.... the Peyton haters like Cowherd are gonna be out in full force tomorrow.

Kind of ironic that Peyton could never beat a UF DC while at UT; and couldn't beat a former UF DC, Dan Quinn, tonight on the biggest stage.

Sorry. I knew that might be a trigger.

Funny thing is, I got over it years ago and am pretty much immune to it.


Although I have to admit, going to bars and restaurants in St. Louis and suddenly seeing it up again everywhere...took a bit of re-conditioning.

2 things that I realized thinking about the last 2 Super Bowls. I thought we had hit a point where you better have an elite QB to win a Super Bowl, but game managers with the right supporting cast can still get a ring. D and running the ball still wins.

I feel like that had to awkward for fisher going to the rams. I bet they have more than a few of pictures of that game up on the walls.

That was probably the hardest Super Bowl for me to watch. I wish Peyton could have had an amazing finish to his year. Seattle had that same swagger that USC had back when they had Reggie Bush. I don't know how Pete Carroll does it, but he really knows how to motivate his players and get them fired up for games.
