In the long history of the National Football League, only 12 franchises have yet to win a Super Bowl. That list gets whittled down to just 4 teams if we're looking for teams that have never played in a Super Bowl. But if we take things back even a round further, that leaves the Houston Texans as the only team in NFL history that's never even played in a Conference Championship Game. The fact that the Texans are the league's youngest franchise plays a role in this, but still, you get the point, right?
The promising news for fans in Houston is that the 2025 season likely represents the franchise's best opportunity yet to finally bust through that glass ceiling and give themselves an opportunity to play on the final Sunday of January for a chance to advance to the Super Bowl.
