Interesting stat: The last time there was a matchup in the Super Bowl where neither franchise had won a title, was in 1986 between the New York Giants and Denver Broncos. (alien.top)

Just thought it was an interesting stat that we have not had a matchup in almost 40 years where both teams had never won a Super Bowl before. Every game since then has featured at least one team having won the title before. It makes sense as the league has been around for longer, the odds of this happening will happen less frequently, but it does seem like a very long time where teams from each conference have featured at least one previous winner.

Jags-Lions or Bills-Lions Super Bowl would be the dream

Jags vs Lions would not only be between 2 teams that never won, but it'd also be between two teams that had never even gotten there before. The Lions are the only NFC team that has yet to play in a Super Bowl, and the Jaguars are one of 3 AFC teams that haven't.
