Buffalo, which has never won a Super Bowl, finished as the runner-up from the 1990-93 seasons.

The New England Patriots had been the most recent team to make three straight Super Bowls, doing so from the 2016-18 seasons. The Pats' runner-up finish in 2017 was sandwiched by two championship seasons.
