Which NFL Conference Has Won the Most Super Bowls?

The National Football League completed a merger with the American Football League in 1970 and although the leagues played championship games in 1968-1970, the title games weren't rebranded as Super Bowls until the game in January 1971.

After the 1970 merger, teams were aligned either in the National Football Conference (NFC) or American Football Conference (AFC).

With 58 Super Bowls currently in the books, NFC teams have won 29 Super Bowls. And AFC teams have won 29 Super Bowls.

Which NFL Team Has Won The Most Super Bowls?

This is a trick question because no one team has won the most Super Bowls.

The New England Patriots have won six Super Bowls.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have also won six Super Bowls.

That should not diminish the efforts of the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers who have each won four Super Bowls.

Are There NFL Teams Who Have Never Won The Super Bowl?

This is a painful question for a dozen NFL teams.

It's especially agonizing for those that have gotten close but failed. And, sorry Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, it's downright embarrassing to the two teams that went to four Super Bowls and won none of them.

So we present the teams that haven't won the Super Bowl – with their number of Super Bowl losses in parentheses.

Atlanta Falcons (2).

Arizona Cardinals (1).

Buffalo Bills (4).

Carolina Panthers (2).

Cincinnati Bengals (3).

Cleveland Browns (0).

Detroit Lions (0).

Houston Texans (0).

Jacksonville Jaguars (0).

Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers (1).

Minnesota Vikings (4).

Tennessee Titans (1).
