Going into the 2017 season, there are a total of 12 teams in the league that have a Super Bowl drought of 20 or more years.
Super Bowl droughts of at least 20 seasons (Team, length of drought, last Super Bowl appearance) Lions (51 seasons, have never played in the Super Bowl) Browns (51 seasons, have never played in the Super Bowl) Browns fans, we know you won an NFL title in 1964.
This time around, we’re upping the ante by ranking each team’s chances of ending their Super Bowl drought and we’re going to start with the three teams that have no chance of ending their Super Bowl drought.
The Jaguars are one of three teams on the drought list that has never played in a Super Bowl.
Since Brady became the Patriots starting quarterback in 2001, the Bills and Dolphins have combined to win exactly zero division titles in seasons where he’s healthy.
To end their 28-season Super Bowl drought, the Bengals would actually have to win a playoff game this year, and we all know that’s not going to happen because they’re cursed by Bo Jackson.
If the Lions don’t make the Super Bowl this year, fans would probably be OK with that as long as the season contains at least one playoff win.
Kansas City Chiefs A 5-11 team that finished last in the AFC West in 2016 might seem like an odd team to have listed this high, but if the Chargers offensive line can figure out how to protect Philip Rivers, it wouldn’t be shocking to see them rip off nine or 10 wins in 2017 and sneak into the playoffs.
Basically, if Reid has spent his entire offseason figuring out how to manage late game situations, then the Chiefs might just have a chance at ending their Super Bowl drought.
Well, this year, they might be right about that whole winning Super Bowl thing because we’re giving the Cowboys the best chance of any team on this list to end their Super Bowl drought.
