Goodbye, Packers. So long, Rams. Beat it, Steelers. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Saints.
With many recent NFL playoff regulars likely to miss the upcoming tournament, here’s a fresh way to look at the postseason: There are more teams in the race that haven’t won a Super Bowl in the 52 seasons since the AFL-NFL merger (seven) than there are teams that have won a championship since 2010 (six). That makes for a lot of championship-hungry organizations and franchises.
Post Sports+ ranked the 17 teams with .500 or better records, plus the one division leader with a losing record, on the title desperation scale, from most to least. The season of each team’s last championship is included in parentheses, with asterisks noting a credited AFL or NFL championship that was not a Super Bowl victory.
1. Bills (1965*): Four straight Super Bowl losses (1990-93) introduced heartbreak unparalleled in North American pro sports history to the city. A quarter-century without a playoff win (1995-20) introduced irrelevance. Last season’s playoff loss to the Chiefs without an overtime possession in the Game of the Century sparked outrage. The Bills have been knocking on the door of their first Super Bowl for three years, and are among the favorites again. Why are they the unquestioned No. 1?
