One of the best things about the NFL is that the best team often wins it all, but upsets do happen. And in the Super Bowl era (1966-present) there have been a number of great teams that fell short along the way.
Recently, the NFL Network took a look at the "Top Ten Teams That Didn't Win A Super Bowl." And while there may be little debate over which team is number one, the rest of the teams are not as clear.
On the next few pages we will take a look at their choices. And maybe the most interesting (funniest?) aspect of the list is that Randy Moss played for two of the top five teams.
#10 1983 Washington Redskins
Record: 14-2
Playoff Loss: Los Angeles Raiders 38-9 (Super Bowl XVII)
Where it went wrong: The Redskins were still in the Super Bowl game late in the first half when Joe Theisman threw a terrible pass into the waiting arms of linebacker Jack Squirek who returned it five yards for the touchdown.
#9 1979 Houston Oilers
Record: 11-5
Playoff Loss: Pittsburgh Steelers 27-13 (AFC Championship Game)
Where it went wrong: The Oilers had beaten the Steelers in week 15, but in the playoffs, Pittsburgh was just too much as they were gunning for their fourth title in six years.
#8 1984 Miami Dolphins
Record: 14-2
Playoff Loss: San Francisco 49ers 38-16 (Super Bowl XIX)
Where it went wrong: Dan Marino's second season was also his best Dolphins team. Unfortunately, they ran into one of the best teams of all-time.
