2 NFL football teams, each a division champion of the AFC and the NFC, play against each other.It is the football championship game of each year.
No team has ever played in the Super Bowl as an AFC team and NFC team, however ... The AFL-NFL merger took place prior to the 1970 season. At the time, there were 10 teams in the AFL and 16 teams in the NFL. To make an even number of teams in each new conference (AFC and NFC) three teams that played in the NFL and would have become NFC teams became members of the AFC. These teams were the Baltimore Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cleveland Browns. Four Super Bowls, then known as the AFL-NFL Championship Game, had been played prior to the merger. The Baltimore Colts represented the NFL in Super Bowl III and then in Super Bowl V, the first Super Bowl after the merger, they represented the AFC. So, the Baltimore Colts played in Super Bowls as an NFL team and an AFC team.

NFL team do not give rings to teams that lose the Super Bowl. Losing teams get a Conference Championship ring for wining their conference championship game, but not one for participating in the Super Bowl.
Virtually every team in the NFL has won a championship of some sort, whether the Super Bowl, the NFL title pre-Super Bowl and/or pre-merger, the AFL championship, the AAFC championship (in the case of the Browns), or the AFC or NFC championship. The only three current NFL teams to have not won a league or conference championship are Houston, Jacksonville, and New Orleans. Of those teams, the Jaguars have been to the AFC Championship game twice and hosted it in the 99-00 season, but they lost to Tennessee. The Saints have been to the NFC Championship once, but lost on the road to the Bears.If you also include division titles, then everyone but the Texans qualifies.Here's how the league breaks down: Green Bay: Won NFL Championship, NFC Championship, and Super BowlChicago: Won NFL Championship, NFC Championship, and Super BowlDetroit: Won NFL ChampionshipMinnesota: Won NFL Championship Dallas: Won NFC Championship and Super BowlPhiladelphia: Won NFL Championship and NFC ChampionshipWashington: Won NFL Championship, NFC Championship, and Super BowlNY Giants: Won NFL Championship, NFC Championship, and Super BowlSan Francisco: Won NFC Championship and Super BowlSt. Louis: Won NFL Championship, NFC Championship, and Super BowlSeattle: Won NFC ChampionshipArizona: Won NFL Championship and NFC Championship New Orleans: No championshipsAtlanta: Won NFC ChampionshipTampa Bay: Won NFC Championship and Super BowlCarolina: Won NFC ChampionshipNew England: Won AFC Championship and Super BowlNY Jets: Won AFL Championship and Super BowlMiami: Won AFC Championship and Super BowlBuffalo: Won AFL Championship and AFC ChampionshipPittsburgh: Won AFC Championship and Super BowlBaltimore: Won AFC Championship and Super BowlCincinnati: Won AFC ChampionshipCleveland: Won AAFC Championship and NFL ChampionshipOakland: Won AFL Championship, AFC Championship, and Super BowlSan Diego: Won AFL Championship and AFC ChampionshipDenver: Won AFC Championship and Super BowlKansas City: Won AFL Championship and Super Bowl Houston: No championshipsJacksonville: No championshipsIndianapolis: Won NFL Championship, AFC Championship, and Super BowlTennessee: Won AFL Championship and AFC Championship
