Counting only Super Bowl trophies as a way of tallying titles is what most in the media and nearly all fans do these days. They skip over the 46 NFL titles that came before the first Super Bowl. That's just lazy. It's as if the league started with that first Super Bowl but the first Super Bowl wasn't even called the Super Bowl when it was played. Neither was the second. But that's beside the point. All titles count. Despite what comedian Bill Burr seems to think, the NFL does count all titles. The teams that won titles that don't include Roman numerals sure count them. You can bet that the Arizona Cardinals count the two titles that they won while they in Chicago. Here's the tally of which team has won each of the 99 NFL titles.

Technically, the Minnesota Vikings have won an NFL title (1969) but they went on to lose to the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV. So, it doesn't really count for much and it's easily forgotten. Although, they will forever have claim to the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy. If anyone can find the damn thing.
As the Vikings did in 1969, the Colts won an NFL title in 1968 but went on to lose to the Jets in Super Bowl III.
