Bills and Ravens: A Race to Avoid a Unwanted Record

The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills have been powerhouses in the NFL since they drafted their quarterbacks in 2018. Both teams have racked up many regular season wins, which is great. However, when it comes to the playoffs, they've hit some roadblocks. Can you believe this? The team that loses in the Ravens-Bills matchup will hold an unwanted record: the most wins in a seven-season span without making it to the Super Bowl since 1966. The Bills are currently top of this list with 83 wins, and the Ravens are close behind with 81 wins. The 1999-2005 Indianapolis Colts and the 2004-2020 San Diego Chargers are also on this list with 80 and 79 wins, respectively.Winning this game doesn't guarantee a Super Bowl trip, so both teams could still be on the list. But here's something interesting: the 2006 Indianapolis Colts didn't just make it to the Super Bowl, they won it all! They had a similar story to Buffalo and Baltimore, with only one losing trip to the AFC Championship Game in their five-year run before their Super Bowl win. The San Diego Chargers had a tough time too. They only made it to the AFC Championship Game once, but couldn't get past that hurdle despite trying new coaches. They haven't been back to the conference championship since their last attempt.
