5 best NFL 'dynasties' that failed to win a Super Bowl

Best NFL dynasties of all-time that never won a Super Bowl ring

#3 - Philadelphia Eagles, 2000-2004

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb

Before Andy Reid became the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, he helped the Philadelphia Eagles create a dynasty with the help of quarterback Donovan McNabb and wide receiver Terrell Owens. In five years, they won four division titles and one conference title and appeared in the Conference Championship game for three straight seasons.

While those five years counted as a dynasty, they continued to have a successful run after that. They made the NFL Playoffs four times over the next six seasons and earned two additional division titles.

#2 - Minnesota Vikings, 1968-1980

Minnesota Vikings Hall of Fame head coach Bud Grant

The Minnesota Vikings dominated the NFL for more than an entire decade under the guidance of Hall of Fame head coach Bud Grant. They were also led by Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton and one of the best defensive lines of all time, nicknamed The Purple People Eaters, for most of their successful run.

During an impressive 13-year stretch, the Vikings appeared in four Super Bowls but could not come away with a victory in any of them. They are still one of the most dominant teams ever, winning 11 division titles and totaling a 128-58 record.

#1 - Buffalo Bills, 1988-1996

Buffalo Bills Bruce Smith and Jim Kelly

The Buffalo Bills in the late 1980s and early 1990s are one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history. They were led by many Hall of Famers, including head coach Marv Levy, quarterback Jim Kelly, and defensive lineman Bruce Smith, one of the all-time great pass rushers.

They won six division titles during their dominant nine-year stretch and recorded ten or more wins seven times. They were infamously known for making it to the Super Bowl for four consecutive seasons but came away with zero rings to show for it.
