Super Bowl MVP's
These 4 NFL Teams have never had a Super Bowl MVP, much less a Super Bowl Appearance. Must name all 4 teams for points.
Browns, Jaguars, Texans, and Lions.
The "G.O.A.T." was not a highly touted prospect, as he was pick #199. How many QB's were taken ahead of him?
6.
Eddie Lacy took home 2013 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, but this Wide Receiver finished in 2nd while eclipsing the 1,000 yard mark and is still with the team he was with back then.
Keenan Allen
This AFC Franchise is the only team to have appeared in an AFC Championship and not lose in their franchises history.
Cincinnati Bengals.
Fun Fact: Houston Texans have never lost an AFC Championship, but have never appeared in one.
Four Straight Super Bowl Appearances, 0 Rings for this Franchise.
Buffalo Bills.
The Legion of Boom dominated Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII from the very first snap. This member of the defense took home the MVP.
Malcolm Smith.
This team was the last team to be rewarded the 1st overall pick then trade it prior to the NFL Draft.
Tennessee Titans.
Fun Fact: The Titans traded back up to 8 and selected Jack Conklin. He is the highest draft pick in the 2016 Draft Class to not make the Pro Bowl.
In 2010, Troy Polamalu took home AP Defensive Player of the Year. This Packers legend finished in 2nd with his 13.5 sacks.
Clay Matthews.
Outside of the Bengals, who has the best record (winning percentage) in AFC Championship Games?
Denver Broncos.
Fun Fact: They are a shocking 8-2 in these games.
Behind arguably the best defense in NFL History, this team seemed poised to begin a dynasty after their first title in the mid 1980's, yet never appeared in another Super Bowl.
Chicago Bears.
Tom Brady has won 7 Super Bowl's and has taken home MVP honors for the Big Game 5 times. Who were the two players to steal it from Brady in his wins? Must name both players for points.
Deion Branch and Julian Edelman.
This player is the most recent NFL player to be drafted 1st overall that isn't a defensive linemen or a quarterback.
Eric Fisher.
For whatever reason, the 1982 NFL MVP went to a Kicker. Because of that, this Chargers Quarterback was snubbed of an MVP and finished in 2nd.
Dan Fouts.
This AFC franchise does not have the best luck in AFC Championships, as their 8 losses in the round aren't that impressive.
Pittsburgh Steelers.
This NFC powerhouse dominated the early 2010's with 3 straight NFC Championship appearances, but came away with absolutely nothing.
San Francisco 49ers.
In Super Bowl XXXI, this special teams player earned MVP honors in the Packers 35-21 win over the Patriots.
Desmond Howard.
In an incredibly rare situation, this NFC team dropped two draft slots because they didn't select a player in time at the 2003 NFL Draft.
Minnesota Vikings.
JJ Watt dominated in 2012 and took home AP Defensive of the Year. However, he was one vote short of winning it unanimously. Who received the one vote?
Von Miller
These two NFC teams have the longest NFC Conference Championship appearance drought currently, when they conveniently played each other. Must name both for points.
Detroit Lions and Washington.
A failure of a potential dynasty, as this NFC club made it to 4 consecutive NFC Championships and never finished with a ring in the early to mid 2000's.
Philadelphia Eagles.
In Super Bowl XXXVII, the game was never particularly close, thanks to this member of the Buccaneers secondary that terrorized Rich Cannon all night long.
Dexter Jackson.
In the 1995 NFL Draft, the Bengals inexplicitly selected this Running Back, the last time a Running Back was selected 1st overall.
Ki-Jana Carter.
Fun Fact: Carter never ran for 500 yards in a single season in his career.
In 2019, Michael Thomas became the first Wide Receiver to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year since 1993, and became only the 2nd different Wide Receiver to win it. Who slotted behind him?
Lamar Jackson.
This NFC team walked into the NFC Championship poised to clinch their spot in the Super Bowl, but walked away with a goose egg. This team is the only team in this century to be shut out in an NFC Championship game.
Minnesota Vikings.
Fun Fact: They lost 41-0 to the Giants in 2000-01.
The Greatest Dynasty that wasn't. This offense could not be stopped in the late 90's - early 2000's, as they walked away with a ring then never could get another together.
