After releasing a complete list of the last years in which 16 NFC teams last made it to the conference championship, some were already clamoring to see the same thing happen for another conference.
In the AFC, 15 teams have made it at some point. The Texans, who made their debut in 2002, are the only ones not to qualify. Which, along with the Cowboys’ 30-year drought, is a rough look for a state bleeding football.
Here is the complete list of recent appearances in the AFC Championship.
Bills: 2024
Bosses: 2024
Ravens: 2023
Bengals: 2022
Titans: 2019
Patriots: 2018
Jaguars: 2017
Steelers: 2016
Broncos: 2015
Colts: 2014
Nozzles: 2010.
Chargers: 2007
Raiders: 2002
Dolphins: 1992
Browns: 1989
That’s 33 years for the Dolphins and 36 for the Browns.
Now, the Browns who last won the AFC Championship are no longer the Browns. They are the Ravens. But when the deal that allowed the Browns to move to Baltimore included dropping all records, the record for the last AFC championship remains.
As for the reconstituted Browns, who returned to the NFL in 1999, they have yet to reach the AFC Championship.
