After the Patriots’ victory last year in Super Bowl 53, their sixth in nine trips under quarterback Tom Brady, many might wonder how their own teams stack up in the history books.
Of the 28 franchises to have played in a Super Bowl, 20 have actually won a championship.
New England joined the Steelers with an NFL-leading sixth Super Bowl win, 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.
