And yet the first Post-Merger Super Bowl Champion was the Baltimore Colts, who moved to the AFC.


Only long after. The Jets were the first AFC team to win the Super Bowl and it was considered quite the upset.

The Jets were in the AFL when they won, not the AFC.

They were still the AFL then. The last pre-merger Super Bowl was SB IV when the Chiefs beat the Vikings.

Which always makes for a good trick question: How many NFL titles do the Vikings have? They do have one.
