The winning Super Bowl team receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The Super Bowl is an annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The contest is held in an American city that is chosen three to four years beforehand,[1] usually in warm-weather or domed sites.[2] Since 1971, the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs. Before the 1970 merger between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL), the two leagues met in a World Championship Game and Super Bowl III in 1969 was the first Super Bowl that carried the "Super Bowl" moniker at the time of the game.[3] The NFC leads in Super Bowl wins with 24, while the AFC has won 21. Eighteen different franchises, including teams that relocated to another city, have won the Super Bowl.[4] The NFL and AFL each won two World Championships.[4]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six championships (record 6–2), while both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers have five wins each (Cowboys 5–3; 49ers a perfect 5–0). Dallas and Pittsburgh have the most Super Bowl appearances with eight, while the Buffalo Bills have the most consecutive appearances with four losses in a row from 1991 to 1994. The Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings have also lost a record four Super Bowls. Buffalo and Minnesota are both 0–4 and Denver is 2–4. The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises: the Green Bay Packers, the Miami Dolphins, the Steelers (the only team to accomplish this feat twice), the 49ers, the Cowboys, the Broncos, and the New England Patriots.

Teams with no Super Bowl appearances[edit | edit source]

Several teams have Super Bowl droughts longer than Jacksonville's and Houston's. The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets have not appeared in the Super Bowl since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970.[67] The most recent Super Bowl appearance for the following teams was after the AFL–NFL merger, yet prior to the 1995 regular season: the Minnesota Vikings (most recently appeared in Super Bowl XI in 1977); Miami Dolphins (Super Bowl XIX in 1985); Cincinnati Bengals (Super Bowl XXIII in 1989); Washington Redskins (Super Bowl XXVI in 1992); Buffalo Bills (Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994); San Diego Chargers (Super Bowl XXIX in 1995); and San Francisco 49ers (Super Bowl XXIX in 1995).

In addition, the following teams have had Super Bowl appearances, but their last championship occurred prior to 1966:

  • Arizona Cardinals, appeared in Super Bowl XLIII. Their last championship was in 1947 when they were the Chicago Cardinals. This is the second longest active stretch without a championship of any American professional sports team exceeded only by the Chicago Cubs, who last won the World Series in 1908.
  • Philadelphia Eagles, appeared in Super Bowls XV and XXXIX. Their last championship was in 1960.
  • Tennessee Titans, appeared in Super Bowl XXXIV. Their last championship was in 1961 when the team was the Houston Oilers.
  • San Diego Chargers, appeared in Super Bowl XXIX. Their last championship was in 1963.
  • Buffalo Bills, appeared in Super Bowls XXV, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII. Their last championship was in 1965.
