Since the inception of the Wild Card playoff system in the NFL, only six wild-card teams have won the Super Bowl in the nearly four decades it has been available.
While not the first team to go all the way without winning their division (that distinction belongs to the pre-merger Kansas City Chiefs in 1969), the 1980 Oakland Raiders, coached by Tom Flores and quarterbacked by Jim Plunkett, were the first Wild Card team that ended their run with a title, as they marched to victory in Super Bowl XV over the Philadelphia Eagles.
