NFL: Super Bowl Champions
Start here
Who won each season?
Slide to any season, or step through with the arrows. Every card has the score, the coach, the man they gave the trophy to — and the thing that actually happened, which is usually the part you remember.
Jason Myers kicked five field goals, a Super Bowl record, and Kenneth Walker III ran for 135 yards. Seattle's second title, twelve years after its first — and the two teams open the next season against each other.
All thirty-two
Champions by franchise
Everyone’s here, in their own colours. Twelve of them are on nought.
Ranked by titles, in each club’s own colours, with its second and third along the bottom like a sleeve stripe. A 0 is not an omission — it is the whole story. Tap any tile for the details.
A franchise keeps its titles when it moves or changes name: the Colts’ two span Baltimore and Indianapolis, the Raiders’ three span Oakland and Los Angeles, the Rams’ two span Los Angeles and St. Louis, and Washington’s three are listed under its current name. Cleveland and Baltimore are the exception the league itself drew: the 1996 move carried the players to Baltimore, but the Browns’ identity and records stayed in Cleveland, so the Ravens’ titles are the Ravens’ alone.
The hoggers
Dynasties
Some franchises did not just win. They moved in, put their feet up, and stayed for a decade.
A dynasty here is any franchise that stacked at least 3 titles inside 10 seasons — a definition, not an opinion, so the next one will turn up on this chart without me being consulted. The dots are the titles; the band is how long they took.
Blowouts & nailbiters
How close were they, really?
The championship game is meant to be the two best teams in football. Nobody promised it would be competitive.
The dots pile up at the left, which is the good news — but that long tail to the right is a lot of Sunday evenings that were over by half time. Each dot is one game, in the winner’s colours.
The other side
Still waiting
Every Super Bowl mints one champion and one team that has to fly home. A few franchises have only ever done the second one.
Buffalo Bills & Minnesota Vikings have each lost 4 of these without ever winning one, which is the most elaborate possible way to be very good at football. Ranked by losses; the four at the bottom have never got as far as losing one.
The record book
The best afternoons anyone has had
Individual records — Super Bowls only, so nothing here is padded by a regular season. Some have stood for forty years; one was set last February.
And four plays that got out of hand
The good stuff
Records & oddities
The perfect season, the helmet catch, the kick that went wide right, and the four teams the trophy has never once visited. Flip a card.
