The falcons were founded in 1966 and have never won a Super Bowl.

While the Cardinals, Lions, Titans, Chargers, Browns, Bills and Vikings are older and have never won a Super Bowl, all won at least one AFL or NFL title before the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

Congrats Falcons!

My favorite fact like this is that 130 countries have gained independence/become a country since the cardinals last championship

Any bookies that are taking bets on if the cards win a super bowl before that state runs entirely out of water?

the Cardinals are the oldest franchise in the NFL, dating to the 19th century; they also have one undisputed league championship

We had a playoff win drought that expanded the entire cold war through 3 different cities
