The 2010 Raiders won all 6 of their division games. Not only did they miss the playoffs, they still managed to finish 3rd in their own division. The 9-7 Chargers finished 2nd and also missed the playoffs.

What is the record you have to have to make the NFL playoffs?
Playoff berths are awarded according to conference ranking, not records. The top six seeds in each conference make the playoffs, no matter what their records are. That includes the four division winners and two wild card teams (the non-division winners with the two best records). In theory, it's possible to not win a single game and still make the playoffs! Every team in a division would have to go 0-10-6, with every team tying every other team in the division and losing all their games outside the division. Strength of schedule would be the first tiebreaker to kick in to determine a division winner.

Does winning all your division games in the NFL make you first in that division?
No. It is only the overall record that matters when it comes to Division Championships. A team could conceivably win every divisional matchup, yet lose every other game for a record of 6-10, while another team in the same division could lose every divisional matchup, but win every other game for a record of 10-6 and head to the playoffs as the Division Champions (if the other two teams' records were 9-5 or worse). The division games do matter in the case of a tie for the best record in the division, as the head to head record is the first tiebreaker for entry to the playoffs and seeding.

What was the Worst record ever to make playoffs?
(3-13) in division would be the worst record a team can have and still possibly make the playoffs. As of January 3, 2011, the 2010 Seattle Seahawks are in the 2010 NFL playoffs with a 7-9 record.Not only is this the worst record to make the playoffs, it is the worst record to win a division as well. Although, it is possible to have every team in a division go 3-13. 0 wins, 10 losses, and 6 ties (0-10-6) or 3 wins and 13 losses (3-13). In the first instance, every team in the same division would have to tie each of its 3 division opponents twice, and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (0-10-6), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ. In the 2nd instance, every team in the same division would have to split 1-1 with each of its 3 division opponents and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (3-13), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ.

Has an 11 5 NFL team ever failed to make the playoffs since going to the 4 team division format?
No. Every team that has had an 11-5 (or better) record has made the playoffs since the league went to the 4 team divisions in 2002. The correct answer is YES. The 2008 New England Patriots finished 11-5 and missed the playoffs. Miami won the division at 11-5 (finished ahead of NE based on better conference record - 8-4 to NE's 7-5).
