These three NFL playoff teams have never won a Super Bowl: Ranking who has best shot to end their drought

Over the course of NFL history, there are 12 teams that have never won a Super Bowl and three of those teams are still alive in the postseason as we head into the divisional round of the playoffs. 

In the NFC, there’s only team still playing that has never won a Super Bowl and that’s the Detroit Lions. In the AFC, the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills are the only two teams that have never won a Super Bowl. 

Although the Bills have never won the big game, they can at least say that they’ve been there four times. The Texans and Lions have never even BEEN to the Super Bowl. The Lions came close in 1991 when they reached the NFC Championship, which marks the only time in franchise history that they’ve been one game away from the Super Bowl. 

As for the Texans, they’ve never even come close to making it to the NFL’s biggest game. The Texans have NEVER played in a conference title game. They’ve gone 0-4 in divisional playoff games and a big reason for that is because they can’t seem to win on the road: The Texans have never won a playoff game away from Houston. 

So who has the best shot of ending their Super Bowl drought this year? Let’s rank those three teams. 

1. Buffalo Bills

If the Bills are ever going to win the Super Bowl with Josh Allen and Sean McDermott, this feels like the year where they have to do it. For one, they’re finally getting the Chiefs at home in the playoffs. Allen is 0-2 in the postseason against the Chiefs, but both of those games came in Kansas City. If the Bills can finally beat the Chiefs in the postseason, you have to think they’ll be extremely confident against whichever team they play next. 

If the Bills get stuck playing Baltimore in the AFC Championship, that’s a matchup they’d probably embrace, considering they’ve beaten the Ravens two straight times, including a 17-3 in the 2020 divisional round. If the Bills play the Texans in the AFC Championship,…
