On this day in 1992, the Buffalo Bills lost their second straight Super Bowl. It was to the at the time Washington Redskins (now Washington Football Team) by a score of 37-24. It was the second straight Super Bowl victory for the NFC East division. The New York Giants beat the Bills the year before by a score of 20-19. Buffalo missed a game winning field goal giving New York their second Lombardi trophy. Buffalo would go on to play in the next two Super Bowls, setting the record for most consecutive Super Bowl appearances by an NFL franchise (4). In both of those Super Bowls, they would face another NFC East team. This time, it would be the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas would go on to beat Buffalo in the next two Super Bowls by a margin of 41 points (52-17, 30-13). The Buffalo Bills still remain the only team to lose four consecutive Super Bowls and are 0-4 against the NFC East in Super Bowl matchups. There are twelve teams in total that have never won a Super Bow and four that have never made it.
Teams never to win SB: Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, L.A. Chargers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and the Arizona Cardinals

*The Cleveland Browns (2017) and *Detroit Lions (2008) are also the only two teams to go 0-16 in an NFL regular season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did however go 0-14 in their debut season in 1976 (which was the entire regular season before the NFL extended it by three games.) They lost the first twelve games the next season starting 0-26 as a franchise.
