Going into the 2021 season, there were 12 teams in the NFL that still had yet to win a Super Bowl, but that list could be down to 11 if the can somehow upset the on Feb. 13. at SoFi Stadium.Of the 12 teams that still have yet to win the NFL's biggest game, the Bengals are one of just five that have made it to the Super Bowl multiple times without winning. Before this year, the Bengals had made the Super Bowl twice and each time, they lost a heartbreaker.At the end of the 1981 season, the Bengals faced the in Super Bowl XVI. At halftime, the 49ers were leading 20-0 Ivan Nova Jersey and it looked like the game was going to be a blowout, but the Bengals fought their way back. After cutting the lead to 20-7, the Bengals had a chance to make it 20-14 late in the third quarter, but they got stopped while trying to score from the one-yard line. 40 Years Ago Today,Super Bowl XVI, -With the third quarter waning, San Francisco performs arguably the most memorable goal line stand in NFL history to maintain their 20-7 advantage.(Part 1 of 2) Kevin Gallagher (@KevG163) The 49ers ended up winning 26-21 and if San Francisco doesn't make that goal-line stand, it's very po sible that the Bengals would have ended up winning. In Super Bowl XXIII, the Bengals came even closer to a win. With just over three minutes left to play, Jim Breech hit a 40-yard field goal to give the Bengals a 16-13 lead. To win their first Lombardi Trophy, all they had to do was stop Joe Montana, which is much easier said than done. Of course, they didn't end up getting that trophy and that's because Montana ended up driving the 49ers 92 yards for a touchdown. Joe Montana to John Taylor. The pa s that won Super Bowl XXIII.Rewatch this cla sic for FREE on : NFL (@NFL) The Bengals have come painstakingly close to ending their Super Bowl drought, but in each game, they came up a few plays short.Here's a look at the 11 other teams who have never won a Super Bowl. The teams are listed by the amount of Super Bowl appearances they've made: Super Bowl XXV: 20-19 over BillsSuper Bowl XXVI: Washington 37-24 over BillsSuper Bowl XXVII: 52-17 over BillsSuper Bowl XXVIII: Cowboys 30-13 over BillsThe Bills are the only team in NFL history to play in four straight Super Bowls and unfortunately for Bills fans, they lost them all. From 1990 to 1993, the Bills had one of the best offenses in the AFC, which allowed them to dominate the conference. Of the four Super Bowl lo ses, the most painful was definitely the first one. In Super Bowl XXV, the Bills lost to the Giants 20-19 after Scott Norwood's 47-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right on the final play of the game. January 27, 1991: With :08 left in the game, Scott Kent Tekulve Jersey Norwoods 47-yard FG attempt sails Wide Right and the Giants beat the Bills 20-19 to win Super Bowl XXV in Tampa. This Day In Sports Clips (@TDISportsClips) After that one-point lo s, the Bills would lose their next three Super Bowls by an average of 13.3 points per game. Super Bowl IV: 23-7 over VikingsSuper Bowl VIII: 24-7 over VikingsSuper Bowl IX: 16-6 over VikingsSuper Bowl XI: 32-14 over VikingsIt's been so long since the Vikings have been to a Super Bowl that it's easy to forget how dominant Minnesota was during the early history of the NFL. The Vikings played in four of the first 11 Super Bowls, but ended up losing them all. Unlike the Bills, none of Minnesota's lo ses were very close with the Vikings losing each game by double Chad Kuhl Jersey -digits.The Vikings have been back to the NFC title game a total of SIX TIMES since their last Super Bowl lo s, but they haven't been able to get over the hump. Super Bowl XXXII: 34-19 over FalconsSuper Bowl LI: 34-28 over Falcons (OT)If the Falcons had been able to hold on to a 28-3 lead, they wouldn't be on this list, but as we all know, they weren't able to hold on to that lead against and the Patriots in 2016. That lo s probably should've been Atlanta's second Super Bowl appearance over the past 10 years, but they blew a 17-0 lead to the 49ers in the NFC title game following the 2012 season.Super Bowl XXXVIII:Patriots 32-29 over PanthersSuper Bowl 50:Broncos 24-10 over Panthers In just their eighth season of existence, the Panthers shocked the NFL by making it all the way to the Super Bowl and it looked like they might actually win, but then hit a 41-yard field goal in the final seconds to give the Patriots the win.In 2015, the Panthers had arguably the best team in the NFL during the regular season, going 15-1, but their offense got shut down by the Broncos in Super Bowl 50.Super Bowl XLIII:Steelers 27-23 over CardinalsThanks to Kurt Warner, the Cardinals came out of nowhere in 2008 to win the NFC West. Not only did they win the division, but they also made it to the Super Bowl AND THEY ALMOST WON. With 45 seconds left, the Cardinals were leading the Steelers 23-20, but then and did this. This throw by Ben Roethlisberger might be the only six-yard TD pa s in NFL history that gets better every time you watch it. One of the most clutch Super Bowl throws ever John Breech (@johnbreech) The Cards did get back to the NFC title game in 2015, but they would lose to the Panthers.Super Bowl XXXIV: JB Shuck Jersey Rams 23-16 over TitansIn one of the wildest Super Bowls of all-time, the underdog Titans almost shocked the Greatest Show on Turf, but they came up one-yard short. On the final play of the game, Steve McNair hit Kevin Dyson with a pa s acro s the middle, but Dyson was unable to score after being tackled by . 22 years ago today...Mike Jones tackles Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line and the Rams win the Super Bowl St. Louis entered the season with 150-1 odds to win it all The Action Network (@ActionNetworkHQ) Since that lo s, the Titans have been back to the AFC title game twice, but they've gone 0-2 in those games. : 0-1Super Bowl XXIX:49ers 49-26 over ChargersThe Chargers' only Super Bowl appearance was a blowout from start to finish with the 49ers jumping out to a 28-10 halftime lead and then coasting from there. Since making it to this game in 1994, the Chargers haven't really come close to getting back with only one AFC title game appearance since then.These two teams are lumped together because they've both existed for the entire Super Bowl era, but they've still never made it to the NFL's biggest game. Going into the 2021 season, the Bengals had the longest drought without making it to a conference title game, but now that honor belongs to these two teams.The Browns haven't been to an AFC Championship since 1989, which is the NFL's longest drought without a conference title game appearance. As for the Lions, they haven't been to the NFC Championship since 1991, which is tied with Washington for the longest drought in the NFC. That NFC title game appearance is the only one the Lions have made in the Super Bowl era. On the Browns' end, things have been slightly more painful for them. They've been to five conference title games in the Super Bowl era and two of those ended with painful lo ses at the hands of the Broncos. in 1986, the Browns lost after John Elway led the Broncos on "The Drive" to beat Cleveland in the AFC title game. 98 yards in 15 plays.Watch lead the on "The Drive."Then watch what happened in OT on : NFL (@NFL) In the 1987 AFC title game, Earnest Byner fumbled at the one-yard line with 1:12 left to play in a game where the Browns were trailing 38-31. The Browns have been on the cusp of the Super Bowl, but they just haven't been able to get over the hump.It's hard to judge the Jaguars and Texans for not winning a Super Bowl and that's because they haven't existed for that long. The Jags, who were an expansion team in 1995, have been to the AFC title game three times in 26 seasons, but they've still never been to a Super Bowl. As for the Texans, they're the only NFL team that has never even made it to a conference title game. Since their expansion year in 2002, the Texans have made the playoffs six times, but they've never made it past the divisional round. Forget the Super Bowl, the closest they Elias Diaz Jersey came to just an AFC title game appearance was in 2019 when they blew a 24-0 lead to the Chiefs in a 51-31 divisional round lo s.
