steelers and patriots
from – prior to the merger in 1970, the nfl and the afl agreed to hold an ultimate championship game, first called the afl-nfl world championship game and later renamed the super bowl after 1968. following the merger in 1970, the super bowl name continued as the game to determine the nfl champion. the most important factor of the merger was that all ten afl teams joined the nfl in and every afl championship game and record is included in nfl record books. the old nfl championship game became the nfc championship game, while the old afl championship game became the afc championship game. the nfl lists the old afl/nfl championship games with "new" afc/nfc championship games in its record books. the green bay packers have won the most championships with 13 total (9 nfl championships pre-merger, four (4) super bowl championships). the packers are also the only team to win three consecutive championships, having done so twice (1929–1931, 1965–1967). the chicago bears have won the second most overall championships with nine (9) (eight nfl championships, one super bowl championship).

bullet::::- every team winning – 12 teams have yet to win their first super bowl: the arizona cardinals, atlanta falcons, buffalo bills, carolina panthers, cincinnati bengals, los angeles chargers, minnesota vikings, and tennessee titans, along with the four that have not appeared in a super bowl. the chargers, the titans (known as the houston oilers in the 1960s), and the bills all won american football league (afl) championships in the pre-super bowl era. the cardinals, browns and the lions have won nfl championships in the pre-super bowl era. the vikings won the 1969 nfl championship game, the last nfl championship game before the afl–nfl merger, but lost super bowl iv to the afl champs, the kansas city chiefs. since the merger, the vikings have appeared in the super bowl three more times (super bowl viii, super bowl ix, and most recently in super bowl xi) but lost all three of them. thus the jaguars, texans, bengals, falcons, and panthers have yet to win their first league championship.
