From inception to Championship

[The Gipper]

During last night's World Series they stated the fact that the Astros won the title for the first time in their history, and that it has been 55 years in the making for their first title.   So, I got to wondering what the same stat would be for each of the NFL team's, so I have done that research.   And here it is.  Going from longest wait when a team was first founded to when they won their first title (if they have won at all), here it is for each NFL team....from longest to shortest duration:
