None. Before 1978, the NFL regular season was 14 games long. Two teams prior to 1978 had 11 wins in an NFL season and failed to make the playoffs. The 1967 Baltimore Colts went 11-1-2 and lost the Coastal Division title to the Los Angeles Rams on a head-to-head competition tie breaker and the 1963 Green Bay Packers went 11-2-1 and lost the Western Conference title to the Chicago Bears who went 11-1-2. In the 1968 American Football League season, the Kansas City Chiefs went 12-2 and failed to make the playoffs, losing a tie breaker game to the Oakland Raiders who had also gone 12-2 in the regular season. In all three instances above, the playoffs only accepted division or conference winners. There were no wild card teams in playoff competition until the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
