The Super Bowl is an annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The contest is held in an American city that is chosen three to four years beforehand,[1] usually in warm-weather or domed sites.[2] The winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game faces the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs. Before the 1970 merger between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL), the two leagues met in a World Championship Game and Super Bowl III in 1969 was the first Super Bowl that carried the "Super Bowl" moniker at the time of the game.[3] The NFC leads in Super Bowl wins with 22, while the AFC has won 21.[4] The NFL and AFL each won two World Championships.[4]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six—one more than both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers with five wins each. The Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Minnesota Vikings each have lost a record four Super Bowls. Buffalo and Minnesota are both 0–4 in the Super Bowl. Five active NFL teams have yet to appear in a Super Bowl: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans (2002 expansion team), Jacksonville Jaguars (1995 expansion team), and New Orleans Saints.[5] The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets have not appeared in the Super Bowl since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970.[6]
