Ad Bowl Super Winner
Ad Bowl Super Winner
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, usually in warm-weather or domed sites. Since 1971, the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game has faced 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. The NFC leads in Super Bowl wins with 23, while the AFC has won 21. Seventeen different franchises, including teams that relocated to another city, have won the Super Bowl. The NFL and AFL each won two World Championships.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six championships (record 6-1), while both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers have five wins each (Cowboys 5-3; 49ers a perfect 5-0). Dallas has had the most Super Bowl appearances, playing in eight. 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.
