A lot has been said this week about how long the Philadelphia Eagles have gone without an NFL Championship. Other cities have gone longer and several are still waiting. And a couple of long-term franchises have never been close.
25 current and former NFL cities have had a team in the Super Bowl, and 25 of the current franchises have made it. Only 12 teams have appeared in 3 or more Super Bowls and half that many have been in 5 or more.
A mere 5 teams are undefeated in Super Bowl games, but only the San Francisco 49ers are undefeated in multiple appearances. On the other side, 9 teams (including the Eagles) have gone winless in their SB appearances. Only 3 teams (Buffalo, Minnesota, and Cincy) have gone to multiple Super Bowls and come up empty.
So Philly has broken their drought. Here's how other cities are faring, by total Super Bowl appearances:
Super Bowl Feasting (4 Appearances): Dallas Cowboys (5-3), Denver (2-4), San Francisco (5-0), Pittsburgh (4-1), Washington (3-2), Green Bay (3-1), Oakland (2-2), Miami (2-2), New England (2-2), Minnesota (0-4), and Buffalo (0-4)
Super Bowl Snacks (Less Than 4 Appearances): NY Giants (2-1), Baltimore (Colts 1-1, Ravens 1-0), St Louis (1-1), Los Angeles (Rams 0-1, Raiders 1-0), Kansas City (1-1), Cincinnati (0-2), NY Jets (1-0), Chicago (1-0), Tampa Bay (1-0), Philly (0-1), San Diego (0-1), Atlanta (0-1), Tennessee (0-1), Carolina (0-1)
Super Bowl Famine (Current Franchise or City): Detroit, Seattle, Cardinals (in any city), New Orleans, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Houston (Oilers and Texans)
