After the Patriots' victory in Super Bowl 53, their sixth in nine trips under quarterback Tom Brady, it appeared there would be a new franchise taking over sole possession of Super Bowl championships in the NFL history books. But then Brady moved on to greener pastures in Tampa Bay and won a seventh on his own — the most by any player ever.

Don't feel bad for New England, though. 

Of the 28 franchises to have played in a Super Bowl, 20 have actually won a championship. And a whopping 30 of the 55 Super Bowls have been won by just six franchises.

New England joined the Steelers with an NFL-leading sixth Super Bowl win in 2019, while the Cowboys and 49ers have five apiece. The Bills and Vikings are tied for most Super Bowl appearances without a win at 0-4. Buffalo, of course, lost four straight from 1991-94.
