<p>After the Patriots' victory in <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-2019-live-score-pat… Bowl 53</a>, their sixth in nine trips under quarterback Tom Brady, it appeared there would be a new franchise taking over sole possession of Super Bowl championships in the NFL history books. But then Brady moved on to greener pastures in Tampa Bay and won a seventh on his own — <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-wins-by-player-most… most by any player ever</a>.</p>
<p>Don't feel bad for New England, though. </p>
<p>Of the 28 franchises to have played in a Super Bowl, 20 have actually won a championship. And a whopping 30 of the 56 Super Bowls have been won by just six franchises.</p>
<p>New England joined the Steelers with an NFL-leading sixth Super Bowl win in 2019, while the Cowboys and 49ers have five apiece. The Bills and Vikings <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/how-many-nfl-teams-have-not-wo…; are tied for most Super Bowl appearances</a> without a win at 0-4. Buffalo, of course, lost four straight from 1991-94.</p>
