Open Book Test

[SWC75]

Can you list the teams in the NFL playoffs in rank order of how long they've been waiting to win a championship?

(Ground rules: their last championship doesn't have to be an NFL championship, just the ultimate championship they could have won in that year. If a team has never won a championship, you count from when they came into existence.)

1 - Chargers - 54 years (1964 - ‘63 AFL Champs))
2 - Chiefs - 48 years (1970)
3 - Bears - 32 years (1986)
4 - Cowboys - 22 years (1996)
5 - Rams - 18 years (2000)

Good work. I was going to post it myself but thought it would be more fun this way. For those with no particular rooting interest, you could root for a Chargers-Cowboys Super Bowl. or maybe a Cheifs-Cowboys Super Bowl.

If the packers hadn't beaten the Cowboys in a great game at the Cotton Bowl in 1966, (a greater football game than the more famous "ice bowl" the next year, IMHO), the Cowboys and the Chiefs, who both started out in Dallas, could have met in the first Super Bowl. That might have been appropriate because the battle between those two franchises was the first rally direct confrontation between the two leagues, since AFL founder Lamar Hunt owned the Texans, as they were called then. they are wearing the same uniforms after all these years, so a Chiefs-Cowboys Super Bowl would be a reminder of what might have been back then.

If you don't have any particular NFC rooting interest why would anyone root for another Cowboys Super Bowl???? Just like we don't need another Patriots Super bowl, anyone from the NFC would be better than the Cowboys.

You could root for the Saints who have only played in one Superbowl or the Bears who have been to two, but haven't been since 2007.

Look at it this way:
1. Saints 1 appearance (1-0) (2010)
2. Bears 2 appearances (1-1) (most recently 2007)
3. Rams 3 appearances (1-2) (most recently 2002)
4. Seahawks 3 appearances (1-2) (most recently 2014)
5. Eagles 3 appearances (1-2) (most recently 2018)
6. Cowboys - 8 appearances (5-3)



AFC:

1. Chargers - no appearances
2. Texans - no appearances
3. Chiefs - 2 appearances (1-1) not since 1970
4. Ravens - 2 appearances (2-0) most recent appearance 2013
5. Colts - 4 appearances (2-2) most recent 2010
6. Patriots - 10 appearances (5-5) most recent appearance last season

Kind of depressing that the Greatest Show on Turf was 18 years ago.
