The New York Jets made their only Super Bowl appearance in 1969 in SB III.

Quarterback Joe Namath famously guaranteed that the Jets would come out victorious despite being big underdogs and he delivered on his promise. They haven't been back to one since then.

#4 - Kansas City Chiefs - 49 years

The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl IV and Super Bowl LIV, but didn't appear in another one for 49 straight years in between the two victories. The Chiefs are the only team on the list whose drought is an inactive streak.

#5 - Minnesota Vikings - 45 years

Divisional Round - New Orleans Saints v Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have appeared in four Super Bowls, but haven't been in one since 1976, earning them an active streak of 45 years. They have also lost all four of their appearances, tied for the most Super Bowl losses in NFL history.
