Which U.S. NFL franchise has the most playoff wins without winning the Super Bowl?

The Minnesota Vikings are the most successful team in the history of the NFL playoffs to have never been crowned champions. They have won 21 playoff games and lost 30. Their success over the years in the playoffs has led them to four Super Bowls, all of which they have lost.

Their last appearance in the final game traces way back to 1977. Since then, they have never appeared in a Super Bowl game again. For a storied franchise like the Vikings, it's been a long wait.

The Buffalo Bills have won 17 playoff games and are tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the highest number of Bowl appearances without a victory at four apiece. For the Bills, all those appearances came in consecutive Super Bowls from 1990 to 1993, all of which they lost despite having one of the most fearsome offenses led by quarterback Jim Kelly.

The Tennessee Titans (previously the Houston Oilers) have to be the franchise with the most disappointing record when it comes to making it all the way to the final game. They have the same number of playoff wins as the Buffalo Bills, but have only ever played in a single championship game in 2000.

The Cincinnati Bengals have reached three finals without winning with fewer playoff victories.
