Pro Football: NFC Update

The three best records in the NFC belong to teams that have never won a Super Bowl. Those three teams are the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Cardinals are (8-1) with the top record in the NFC. They have made but one Super Bowl appearance, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2008 season Super Bowl.

The Lions are (7-2). The franchise has never been to a Super Bowl.

The Eagles are (7-2). They lost in both their Super Bowl appearances. They lost in Super Bowl games following the 1980 and 2004 seasons.

Many people blame their coach Dick Vermeil for not allowing the Eagles out to enjoy the New Orleans nightlife before the 1980 Super Bowl.

Their opponents, the Oakland Raiders went out and enjoyed the city before the game and during the contest. Oakland won the game easily.

The New England Patriots defeated the Eagles in the 2004 season Super Bowl.
