Forum / bar‑talk angle
“Every year we ask the same thing: is this finally the year the Bills, Lions, or Bengals get over the hump and erase decades of almost-there heartbreak?”
Given how pass-heavy and offense-friendly the modern NFL is, teams like the Bills, Bengals, and Lions are often in preseason “dark horse” or “breakthrough” conversations, especially after recent playoff runs.
TL;DR: 12 franchises are still ringless, with the Bills and Vikings leading the way in Super Bowl trips without a win, while the Browns, Lions, Jags, and Texans have yet to reach the game at all.
