Quillz Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The Minnesota Vikings, losers of four superbowls were the last pre-merger champions of the NFL. (the Superbowl was separate until the merger) That's one of my favorite little pieces of trivia - in the nearly 90-year history of the league, the 1968 Colts and 1969 Vikings are the only teams to be NFL champions but not World Champions.But the Colts have won a Super Bowl since moving into the AFC...Other teams that have won a NFL championship but not a Super Bowl include the Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also technically the Arizona Cardinals have not won the NFL Championship. The Cardinals franchise may have won it before moving (twice!) but they were not the Arizona Cardinals then. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
