Another season and another Super Bowl-less year for the AFC West.

The AFC West has the longest Super Bowl drought of any division in the NFL. It was the case going into the season and it officially continued when the San Diego Chargers were knocked out of the playoffs Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Here is a look at the last Super Bowl representative for each division:

AFC East: New England (2007)

AFC North: Pittsburgh (2005)

AFC South: Indianapolis (2006)

AFC West: Oakland (2002)

NFC East: New York (2007)

NFC North: Chicago (2006)

NFC South: Carolina (2003)

NFC West: Seattle (2005)

Here is the last time each AFC West team advanced to the Super Bowl

Oakland: 2002 (L)

Denver: 1998 (W)

San Diego: 1994 (L)

Kansas City: 1969 (W)

New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs
