The Title Belt: an NFL championship lineage with no official champion

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive history of a lineal NFL title that changes hands whenever a team defeats the reigning holder.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The visualization treats the Packers’ Super Bowl I victory on January 15, 1967 as the starting point, then transfers the belt whenever its holder is defeated. Its grid accounts for changing NFL formats, separating 14-, 16-, and 18-week regular seasons and placing playoff rounds directly after them. Team summaries distinguish a season defended while holding the belt from an offseason carryover, including the deliberately named “stolen offseason” when a team never gives the actual champion a chance to reclaim it.
