Voting Rules
Vote up the wild card teams that shocked the NFL.
The Super Bowl is the ultimate goal for every NFL team, and since 1975, the Wild Card era has made that dream even more achievable for every squad across the league. Even so, the list of wildcard teams that have won the Super Bowl remains short, and every team on it has accomplished something truly remarkable.
The Steelers became the first wild card team to win a Super Bowl when Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward led Pittsburgh to victory in Super Bowl XL. The next NFL wild card team to break through was the 2007 New York Giants, who defeated the 18-0 New England Patriots in one of the most shocking Super Bowl outcomes ever. The last wild card Super Bowl winners were the Baltimore Ravens in 2012, when they held on to beat the San Francisco 49ers in a classic showdown.
So vote up the best NFL wild card teams that won the Super Bowl, and help decide which Cinderella team had the most amazing playoff run. Then check back to see if more teams get added to the list as the years go on.
