12 NFL teams still haven't won a Super Bowl
1. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta lost to the Broncos 34-19 in Super Bowl XXXIII and they fell to the Patriots 34-28 in Super Bowl LI (and that one was quite a heartbreaker).
2. Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals won two NFL championships (1925 and 1947) when they were based in Chicago, but they've never won a Super Bowl. They came close in 2008, but they fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII.
3. Buffalo Bills
The Bills nearly had a dynasty in the 1990s, but they found a way to lose in four consecutive Super Bowl appearances. They won AFL championships in 1964 and 1965, but they're still seeking a post-merger title.
4. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers lost to the Patriots 32-29 in Super Bowl XXXVIII, then lost to the Broncos 14 years later, 24-10, in Super Bowl 50.
5. Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals reached the Super Bowl in 1981, 1988 and 2021, losing to the San Francisco 49ers (twice) and Los Angeles Rams.
6. Cleveland Browns
The Browns have won eight league championships (1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964), but John Elway prevented them from ever winning a Super Bowl. Cleveland lost to the Broncos three times in AFC Championship games in the 1980s.
7. Detroit Lions
The Lions own four league championships (1935, 1952, 1953 and 1957), but they're still hunting for their first Super Bowl appearance. They've had great regular seasons in each of the last two years but came up short in the playoffs.
8. Houston Texans
The Texans have never reached the Super Bowl, but they have made the playoffs eight times since 2011. If it's any consolation to Houston fans, they're the youngest team on this list (2002).
9. Jacksonville Jaguars
10. Minnesota Vikings
The Jags have made the playoffs eight times since entering the NFL in 1995, but they've never reached the Super Bowl. They most recently made the postseason in 2022.
The Vikings won a league championship in 1969 but have lost all four of their Super Bowl appearances since the AFL-NFL merger. Since 1977, they've lost in six NFC title games, including two times with Randall Cunningham and once with Brett Favre.
11. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers won an AFL championship in 1963 but lost their lone Super Bowl appearance in 1994 when they were defeated by the 49ers by a score of 49-26 in Super Bowl XXIX. Amazingly, they never made it far in the postseason when Drew Brees, Antonio Gates and LaDanian Tomlinson were all together in San Diego.
12. Tennessee Titans
Dating back to their Houston Oilers days, the Titans have won two league championships (1960 and 1961), but they lost their lone Super Bowl appearance in 1999, a 23-16 defeat to the St. Louis (now L.A.) Rams.

Eagles' All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson lands at No. 23 on the NFL's Top 100 list
Lane Johnson is the straw that stirs the Eagles' drink, and as he prepares for season No. 12 in Philadelphia, he's set to enter rare air among the NFL's elite. After a dynamic season that saw Johnson again earn All-Pro status, he landed at No. 23 on the NFL's Top 100 players list. Last season, Johnson ranked 1st among NFL RTs in PFF pass-blocking grade (88.1), pressure percentage (2.2%), and knockdown percentage (0.2%). He allowed zero sacks and 1 QB hit in 451 pass-blocking snaps. According to Adam Schefter, Johnson reworked his contract to add $8 million over the next two years and an additional $30 million in guarantees. As he closes out his career, the soon-to-be 35-year-old Johnson will earn $48 million over the next two years, including $40 million guaranteed.

Jerry Jones throws shade at Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl drought
The Dallas Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since its 30th iteration in 1995. But team owner and general manager Jerry Jones just wants to remind everyone that the Buffalo Bills' title drought runs much longer. The recently released Netflix docuseries about Jones' ownership of the Cowboys has an episode dedicated to Dallas' 29-year span without another Super Bowl championship. Throughout the drought, Jones has remained in control as the head of the front office in addition to his ownership duties. In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY Sports' Jarrett Bell, Jones flipped the script on his critics by throwing the Bills under the bus. JARRETT BELL: 'I bust my (expletive)': Jerry Jones defends Cowboys' marketing over winning 85518977007 "How long has it been since Buffalo won the Super Bowl?" Jones said. "Buffalo hasn't been chopped liver. They're solid. They're probably in the top third of the NFL." The Bills have won the AFC championship four times since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. All four of the titles were in consecutive years between 1990 and 1993. All four times, they lost the ensuing Super Bowl, including twice in a row against Jones' Cowboys in Super Bowls 27 and 28 (following the 1992 and '93 seasons, respectively). Jones said he remains confident that his approach as Dallas' head of personnel decisions will eventually lead to a championship. "I just can't get as convicted that the way we're doing it, that our approach to trying to win a Super Bowl, that that needs to change," Jones said. "I guess that's why I'm so defensive." The Cowboys won 12 games in each of the 2022 and 2023 seasons before losing in the divisional round in 2022 and wild-card round in 2023. In 2024, Dallas finished with a 7-10 record as it dealt with injuries to some of its star players, including a season-ending hamstring injury to quarterback Dak Prescott. The Bills have won five straight AFC East titles, dating back to 2020, and haven't won fewer than 11 games in a season over that stretch. However, Buffalo also hasn't returned to a Super Bowl since that last AFC title in 1993. Four times in the last five years, they've fallen to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, including twice in the AFC title game.

Should Joe Burrow be a betting favorite for MVP this season?
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton are joined by Yahoo Sports senior sports betting analyst Ben Fawkes to discuss which players have the best odds to win MVP this upcoming season. View more Video Transcript What does the fox say, Joe Burrow or the field for MVP? Yeah, the fox says the field, right? Especially at those odds. Uh, I just wrote a newser at Yahoo Sports yesterday. The public loves Joe Burrow. They are betting him hand over fist to win MVP. Uh, right now he is tied for the second choice at 600 with Josh Allen. Lamar Jackson is the favorite at plus 550 at Bet MGM, but Burrow has the most bets around. Uh, 16%, and the most money around 24% of total dollars wagered, and that's at Bet MGM. But at multiple sportsbooks, uh, that I checked in with, Burrow is number one in tickets and number one in handles. So, the public is definitely liking Joe Burrow, as we discussed, a lot of that I think is a combination of probably a really bad defense, not that difficult to schedule. And also Burrow just being a really good quarterback, putting up big numbers, obviously having Ja'Marr Chase and T. Higgins. We expect that offense to be good. The big questions are obviously on defense, so you expect him to put up big numbers. He did that last year. They only went 9 and 8. So that's also a question. Uh, he was also third in QBR behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. So really good season last year. Can he do better this season? The big bets, though, on Lamar Jackson, two big bets out there, both $5,000 on Lamar Jackson, one at plus 550, one at 6 to 1. So that would win $275,000 and $300,000. So a lot of those big bets on Lamar Jackson. And I would be remiss to say as well if I didn't say that Washington Commanders quarterback Jahan Dotson is second most money and second most tickets at Bet MGM to win MVP. So, like we talked about, he had a historic rookie season. Betters think he could be in for even more in his sophomore season. Close
