Question

Buffalo once lost four Super Bowls in consecutive years. In the Super Bowl era, what is the only other team that has been knocked out of the playoffs by the eventual champion four years in a row?

Answer

Oakland Raiders. The Raiders lost to Green Bay in Super Bowl II, and in the following three seasons lost in the playoffs against the Jets, KC and the Baltimore Colts (who all went on to win Super Bowls). Five other teams have had three-year streaks, including the Oilers in the late ‘70s, the 49ers about 10 years ago, the Colts about 20 years ago, the Vikings in the late ‘80s and Oakland in the mid-‘70s (the Raiders had their four-year streak ended by the Immaculate Reception, immediately followed by a three-year streak – during that run, their season ended with a loss against the eventually champion in seven of eight seasons).
