The 49ers, Chiefs and Rams have all played in multiple Super Bowls ahead of their championship games in 2022.
San Francisco has six Super Bowl appearances, winning five, while Kansas City has reached the big game four times, winning two.
Most NFL teams haven't been so fortunate, though. Twelve franchises have never won a Super Bowl, and four of them have yet to even play in the big game throughout their history. That includes the Bengals, who are eager to break away from their playoff misfortune this year.
Below is a list of NFL teams without a Super Bowl win. Read on to find out who has won the most Super Bowls by franchise and by player.

Most Super Bowl appearances without a win
The Vikings and Bills have each appeared four times in the Super Bowl without a victory to their name. The Vikings' most recent appearance came in 1977, although they have appeared in the conference championship game six times since.
Buffalo's four Super Bowl appearances all came in consecutive years from 1991-94. The Bills have won just one playoff game since.
Which teams have never been in the Super Bowl?
Four NFL teams — the Browns, Lions, Jaguars, and Texans — have never appeared in the Super Bowl. The Lions and Browns both won championships prior to the NFL merger in 1966. Jacksonville and Houston have only been around since 1995 and 2002, respectively, and are the league's two newest expansion teams.
