Who is the oldest NFL franchise to never play in a Super Bowl?

The oldest franchise to never have won a Super Bowl? It's the Detroit Lions. The Lions have been in the NFL since 1930 (then playing as the Porstmouth Spartans). After the 1933 season, the team was purchased and moved to Detroit. The team played their first game as the Detroit Lions in 1934. The Lions are one of the six NFL Franchises who have never been to the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles could also be considered (but they really aren't) as the oldest franchise in the league never to have won the Super Bowl. The Eagles were founded in 1933 by Bert Bell, Lud Wray and co. The purchased the territorial rights of the then defunct Frankfort Yellow Jackets (The Yellow Jackets folded in 1931), who actually started in the NFL in 1924. However, since the league had technically revoked the franchise at the end of 1931, there is no "direct" linkage from the Yellow Jackets to the Philadelphia Eagles.
