Defining a Super Bowl Win
A Super Bowl win is awarded to the team that secures victory in the championship game at the conclusion of each NFL season. The game determines the league champion and awards the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the winning franchise. For record-keeping purposes, official statistics recognize each franchise’s total number of Super Bowl victories. In the context of relocations and predecessor franchises, some modern teams continue the lineage of earlier organizations. For example, the modern Denver Broncos franchise carries forward the history of the Baltimore Colts, and the modern Las Vegas Raiders carry the history of the Oakland Raiders.
Notes on Counting and Lineage
When reviewing championship counts, it is important to understand how franchises are counted. Some teams that moved cities or changed names retain the championships won in their original cities. For example, the Broncos are frequently cited as having 3 professional league championships, incorporating one win as the Baltimore Colts (Super Bowl V). In this article, Super Bowl wins are counted strictly by the franchise as it exists today in the NFL records, except where widely documented lineage is acknowledged. Pre-Super Bowl league championships are generally not included in these totals unless noted for context.
