How Does The NFL Compare?

Next, let's look at the NFL. In the Super Bowl, the Buffalo Bills have the most consecutive appearances at four, but that dates back to 1990-93. While it feels like the New England Patriots have appeared in the Super Bowl every year, the most consecutive times they have appeared is twice, those years being 2003 and 2004 as well as 2016 and 2017.

Although on the AFC side the road usually runs through Foxborough, and the only other quarterback not named Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, or Peyton Manning to reach the Super Bowl is Joe Flacco in 2013, dating back to 2003, it isn't predictable at all and the NFC is usually wide open.
