Detroit Lions are the only team to have been in the league every year they have held a Super Bowl and never made an appearance. Even more disheartening for Lions fans - 1 playoff win in 55 years!
I don't like the impression that there was no "Super Bowl" prior to SB I...literally true, but there WERE NFL championship games. The Lions were NFL champions, as were the Cleveland Browns, there was life before the term Super Bowl was coined.
I know but he is making the point about how pre-Super Bowl championships are never acknowledged. The Lions and Browns dominated the pre-Super Bowl era NFL, yet they "don't have any championships." It's stupid.
FWIW: 2013 was Seahawks-Broncos. The Panthers lost to the Patriots in 2003.
