The Super Bowl MVP or the Pete Rozelle Trophy is an award that is given out to the player who has had the most positive impact in the respective year's Super Bowl game. Barring an incredible exception, this award is generally always given to a member of the winning team except for Super Bowl V, when the Dallas Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley won it in a losing cause. This award has been handed out annually since the very first Super Bowl in 1967 and the first two Super Bowl MVPs were given to the Green Bay Packers quarterback - Bart Starr.
Of the 32 teams in the NFL, four teams have never been to the biggest game American Football has to offer. This list includes the Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Houston Texans. In addition to this, there are only 20 teams that have won the Super Bowl which directly limits so many franchises from having a Super Bowl MVP from their team, as per FOX Sports.
