In reply to: Lions is correct but I phrased the question incorrectly. posted by G.K.Chesterton
that has gone just as long as the Lions without hosting a conference title game, which is the entire Super Bowl era, is the Tennessee Titans.
The @Chiefs span of 52 seasons without hosting a conference championship was the 3rd-longest in the Super Bowl era.

Most Seasons Until Hosting Conference Championship - Super Bowl Era
Lions >53
Titans >53
Chiefs 52
Falcons 46
> Active streak
The only championship game the Jets ever hosted was the AFL title game at Shea in 1968. Their only championship games since then were losses on the road at Miami in 1982, Denver in 1998, Indy in 2009, and Pittsburgh in 2010. That would make their streak 50 years and counting. They also have only 2 division titles since the merger, which I believe is the fewest of any team in that era (even the Lions have 3).
Dig down a bit, and we find several teams that used to host championship games rather routinely have gone a long time without doing so. Current active streaks, with he number each team has hosted in the Super Bowl era in parentheses.
Buccaneers (1): >39
Chargers (1): >38
Bengals (2): >30
Browns (2): >29*
Redskins (5): >27
Dolphins (6): >26
Bills (4): >25
Cowboys (6): >23
Vikings (4): >20
Jaguars (1): >19
Giants (2): >18
Rams (4): >17
Texans (0): >17
* - Not counting the 3-season hiatus between old and new Browns, which the NFL regards as one franchise.
Longest streaks that have ended, other than those earlier listed:
Cardinals: 42 (1966-2007; hadn't hosted since 1947 NFL Championship at Comiskey Park)
Saints: 42 (1967-2008)
Colts: 35 (1971-2005)
Patriots: 30 (1966-1995; never hosted an AFL championship, either)
Seahawks: 29 (1976-2004)
Packers: 28 (1968-1995)
