Mathematically speaking, 3 wins is the required minimum for a team to make the playoffs in the current format. If each team in the division won their home games against their division rivals they would each have 3 wins. Conisder that all non-division teams beat them they would all have a record of 3-13. At least 1 team would be the winner of the division and thereby make it into the playoff wildcard game as a 4th seed, which most undoubtedly they would lose.

∙ 6y agoYou do not need a set amount of wins to reach the playoffs. The only thing a team needs to do is win their division.
In 1987, a strike shortened season, two teams the 4-5 Cleveland Browns and the 4-5 Detroit Lions qualified for the playoffs.
In the modern day NFL, since the 2002 division/conference realignment, the following teams have qualified for the playoffs with 8 or fewer victories:
- 2014 Carolina Panthers, NFCS Division winner, 7-8-1 record
- 2013 Green Bay Packers, NFCN Division winner, 8-7-1 record
- 2011 Denver Broncos, AFCW Division winner, 8-8 record
- 2010 Seattle Seahawks, NFCW Division winner, 7-9 record
- 2008 San Diego Chargers, AFCW Division winner, 8-8 record
- 2006 New York Giants, NFCE Division winner, 8-8 record
- 2004 St. Louis Rams NFCW Division winner, 8-8 record
- 2004 Minnesota Vikings, 8-8 record, qualified on strength of schedule tie breaker
