Pittsburgh and New England reached six in opposite ways. The Steelers won four in a six-year burst, then came back for titles in 2006 and 2009. The Patriots won all six from 2002 through 2019, making one sustained run last nearly two decades.
Dallas and San Francisco both reached five before the end of the 1990s. Dallas last won in 1996, while San Francisco’s fifth came in 1995. Their place near the top has held even through long stretches without another championship.
The Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are unbeaten across multiple appearances. A 2–0 record is perfect, but it is not the same history as twelve trips and six wins. Championships, repeat appearances and how often a team won once it got there each tell a different part of the story.
