How long does a franchise have since their last title to be considered "elite"?

I seem to remember Ken Norton jr grabbing a Raiders RB,falling foward,the RBs cleat hung in the ground and his leg snapped.Also,there was a rookie playing volleyball at the Pro Bowl,he went up for the ball,I don't what happened ,but when he landed I believe his leg or knee went out.Also,there was th...
