Which NFL teams have never played in a Super Bowl?
The Detroit Lions could hardly have come much closer to making history in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in Sunday. The Lions looked all set to take part in their first ever Super Bowl after roaring into a 24-7 halftime lead in Santa Clara, with NFL Next Gen Stats giving them a 90.4% chance of winning the game at that point.
