nfl super bowl champion

While Super Bowl XLI was the first to feature rain, there has yet to be snowy conditions during the game (which is highly unlikely to occur due to the strict non-usage of northern-based open-air stadiums). An all-wild card matchup, i.e., teams who failed to win their divisions. Eight wild card teams (since the 1970 merger) have won conference titles, but never two in the same season. Dallas Cowboys, 1975 NFC Champions - lost Super Bowl X Oakland Raiders, 1980 AFC Champions - won Super Bowl XV New England Patriots, 1985 AFC Champions - lost Super Bowl XX Buffalo Bills, 1992 AFC Champions - lost Super Bowl XXVII Denver Broncos, 1997 AFC Champions - won Super Bowl XXXII Tennessee Titans, 1999 AFC Champions - lost Super Bowl XXXIV Baltimore Ravens, 2000 AFC Champions - won Super Bowl XXXV Pittsburgh Steelers, 2005 AFC Champions - won Super Bowl XL Every Super Bowl team has scored, which means no team has posted a shutout. In Super Bowl VII, the Washington Redskins scored their only points by a touchdown off a blocked field goal, with 2:07 remaining in the game. The fewest number of points scored in a Super Bowl is 3, put up by the Dolphins the previous year. While many kickoffs have been returned for a touchdown, a punt has yet to be returned for one. No team has literally had home field advantage (playing in their own home stadium). The closest instances to this have been Super Bowl XIV being played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena near the Rams' then-hometown of Los Angeles and Super Bowl XIX being played at Stanford Stadium which is a short distance from the 49ers' home stadium, Candlestick Park. While many Super Bowls have occurred in the Miami and New Orleans areas, neither of the area's teams (the Dolphins and Saints) have ever taken advantage of these opportunities. Overtime. The closest instances to overtime play were: Baltimore's Jim O'Brien kicking a game-winning field goal with :05 left (Super Bowl V). Tennessee's Kevin Dyson being stopped one yard short of a tying touchdown as time expired (Super Bowl XXXIV). New England Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri kicking two game-winning field goals in the closing seconds (Super Bowl XXXVI as time expired, and Super Bowl XXXVIII with :04 left). Appearance by every team. The following six teams have yet to reach their first Super Bowl: Arizona Cardinals (0-2 in NFC Divisional Playoffs) Cleveland Browns (0-2 in NFL Championship Game {during Super Bowl era}; 0-3 in AFC Championship Game) Detroit Lions (0-1 in NFC Championship Game) Houston Texans (no playoff berths to date) Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2 in AFC Championship Game) New Orleans Saints (0-1 in NFC Championship Game) The Seattle Seahawks are the last team to make their inaugural appearance, in Super Bowl XL.
