The Tennessee Titans strung together an impeccable season this time around while surprising just about everyone on planet Earth en route to reaching this year's AFC Championship Game against the surging Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately for the Titans and company, though, the highly talented Chiefs were simply too much to handle in the handle.
However, the Titans showed tremendous promise throughout the 2019-20 campaign while the future remains as bright as ever in “Music City.” On the other hand, though, the Titans have not played in a Super Bowl game in 20 years with Sunday afternoon's loss at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City solidifying such a fate.
While two full decades definitely hurts, the Titans don't even own a top-five longest Super Bowl drought in the AFC. Excluding the Cleveland Browns, who have never reached the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, and New York Jets all own longer Super Bowl droughts than the upstart Titans, who reached the AFC title game by way of just barely reaching the playoffs as the conference's sixth and final seed.
The Chargers have not reached the Super Bowl in 25 years with the Bills coming in at 26 years, the Bengals 31 years and the Dolphins 35 years without an NFL title game appearance. Setting the bar extremely high, the aforementioned Jets have not reached the Super Bowl in a whopping 51 years, with New York's last such appearance coming when “Gang Green” won it all back in 1969.
Of this group, both the Titans and Bills reached the postseason in 2019-20.
