The Super Bowl has been around 55 years, yet more than a third of the league has never hoisted a Vince Lombardi Trophy. Four teams have yet to even reach the Super Bowl (two of them started as a franchise after 1990). The were the most recent team to leave the "never won a Super Bowl" club, but the league only has three first-time Super Bowl winners since the start of the 2009 season.There are quite a few contenders to win their first Super Bowl in 2021, and the two favorites reside in the loaded AFC. The are coming off their first conference championship game appearance since 1993 while the won their first playoff game since 1995. Both teams have two of the most talented rosters in the league and look to make an even deeper playoff run -- finally attempting to end title droughts Jonas Valanciunas Jersey that have lasted more than a half-century.Twelve franchises have never captured a Super Bowl title. Which one is the most likely to remove itself from this dubious list?Last Super Bowl appearance: NoneLast NFL championship: NoneHouston would be much higher on this list if future with the team wasn't uncertain. The Texans did finish 4-12 last season, even as Watson reached career highs in completion percentage (70.2), pa sing yards (4,823), touchdown pa ses (33). and quarterback rating (112.4). Watson led the NFL in pa sing yards and yards per attempt, carrying an offense that finished 31st in the league in rushing. The defense wasn't that much better either, finishing 27th in points allowed, 30th in yards allowed, and recorded the fewest turnovers in the league. If Watson doesn't play in 2021, the Texans will be competing for the top overall pick in the 2022 draft. This is one of the worst rosters in the league, but Houston (at least) has a chance to win games if Watson plays.Last Super Bowl appearance: NoneLast NFL championship: 1957The Lions are in the first year of a rebuild, as Dan Campbell looks to John Konchar Jersey change the culture of a franchise that has just one playoff win over the last 63 years. Detroit has a young and talented offensive line (average age 24 years old) to protect new quarterback who is looking to resurrect his career after getting traded by the .Detroit has some work to do on the defensive side of the ball, a monumental task for new defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn (gave up a league-worst 112.4 pa ser rating to opposing quarterbacks in 2020). Adding a consistent pa s rush will make this team more competitive, but competing for a Super Bowl appears to be years away. Last Super Bowl appearance: 2016 (Super Bowl 50)Last NFL championship: NoneMatt Rhule is building something in Carolina as he enters his second year, taking a chance he can resurrect career. Out of 35 qualified quarterbacks last season, Darnold finished 33rd in completion percentage, 30th in interception percentage, 32nd in yards per attempt, and 35th in pa ser rating. Those numbers should improve under offensive coordinator Joe Brady, as the Panthers will find out if Darnold can become a franchise quarterback. return makes the Panthers formidable, as the front office restructured the offensive line. The defense got a huge boost with the signing of and top 10 pick , but Carolina still has to deal with Tampa Bay and New Orleans in the NFC South. If the Mike Conley Jersey slip a bit, there's a spot open for the Panthers to take a leap in 2021. Again, this is all dependent on how Darnold plays.Last Super Bowl appearance: 2017 (Super Bowl LI)Last NFL championship: NoneJust when the Falcons appeared to have a team set to contend for a playoff berth in 2021, Atlanta traded to the Titans for draft picks. The Falcons still have at quarterback, who has thrown for the most pa sing yards in the league over the last three years and has a emerging star in and a game-changing tight end in rookie first-rounder . If Atlanta can create holes up front for free agent signing , the Falcons offense may be good enough to carry a defense that needs some work.Atlanta is going to mi s Jones' big-play ability -- and has a defense set to give up big plays of its own. There's talent on the Falcons, but they are such an unknown heading into 2021. New head coach Arthur Smith has some work to do this summer. 8. Last Super Bowl appearance: 1990 (Super Bowl XXIII)Last NFL championship: NoneDrafting over was a questionable move, especially since Cincinnati's atrocious offensive line led to franchise Mike Bibby Jersey quarterback tearing his ACL in his rookie season. Burrow should be ready by Week 1, and has an impre sive cast of receivers that will make the Bengals pa sing game even more lethal in 2021.Will head coach Zac Taylor actually commit to the run and take the pre sure off of Burrow? Is the offensive line good enough to protect Burrow from getting hurt again? Those questions need to be answered in a division where the , Cleveland Browns and defenses reside.The Bengals should be better, but they aren't close to competing for a championship yet -- especially residing in the AFC North. Last Super Bowl appearance: NoneLast NFL championship: NoneRookie head coaches and rookie quarterbacks don't typically generate Super Bowl contenders. The Jaguars are still going to be exciting to watch in 2021 as Urban Meyer is the best college coach to enter the NFL in years, having arguably the most talented quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck in .Jacksonville was the worst team in the league last year, but the Jaguars were competitive in half of their games (seven of their lo ses were by one score). Adding to a young receiving unit that already includes . and will help Lawrence out immensely, especially with , , and capable of creating a balanced rushing attack.The Jaguars are going to be better than the 1-15 team that played last year, and could actually contend for eight or nine wins if the defense becomes a top 20 unit (ranked 31st in points and yards allowed in 2020). The presence of Lawrence gives Jacksonville hope for the first time in years. Last Super Bowl appearance: 1995 (Super Bowl XXIX)Last NFL/AFL championship: 1963The Chargers got the last of the three talented quarterbacks from the 2020 draft cla s, and po sibly the best in -- the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Herbert Dillon Brooks Jersey has immensely changed the fortunes of a franchise that mired in mediocrity during ' final years. Herbert will have more protection to connect with a talented cast of offensive weapons as the Chargers rebuilt their offensive line centered around All-Pro and first-round pick . Los Angeles is going to score points this year.How much this defense will improve under first-year head coach Brandon Staley will be an indicator whether the Chargers are playoff-caliber. The AFC West belongs to the , but second place is there for the taking.
