Super Bowl wins notes

The Super Bowl victory by the Denver Broncos was their third and the tenth by an original AFL team since the AFC/NFC configuration began in 1970.

Other original AFL team, 1970 or later Supe titles are New England Patriots (4) while the Oakland Raiders have notched three titles

There were Supe victories by original AFL franchises, the New York Jets in 1968 and the Kansas City Chiefs in 1969.

Add two by an AFL expansion team, the Miami Dolphins and there have been 14 victories by AFL teams.

Thus NFL/NFC teams have a resounding (36-14) lead in Super Bowl victories as the other 4 teams to play in the old AFL, the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals have all failed to win the “big game.” Their combined record in those tilts is (0-8).

Yet the AFC/AFL has a far more respectable (24-26) record in Super Bowls as the three NFL franchises asked to move into the American Football Conference (the AFC), the Pittsburgh Steelers (6), Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens (two each) have enjoyed Super Bowl success.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, with six, have won the most Super Bowl crowns.
