Whether they care to admit it publicly or not, there is only one reason professional NFL footballers get out of bed every day: to pursue a Super Bowl ring.

And for the franchise that can tread the shark-infested depths of the regular season and come out alive with a winning record, the arduous sprint of the post-season awaits them.

From the wild cards to the Super Bowl, the steeled unit that runs with the bulls and wins earns the right to raise a banner and bump jewel-encrusted knuckles.

However, for the teams mangled in the shallows well before the post-season, it is back to the drawing board as another year of a championship drought is chalked up.

From a sloppy jalopy in the Motor City to some rusty red birds in the desert, here is the ordered list of active Super Bowl-era championship droughts for every NFL  franchise.
