As of my last update, there have been a few instances in NFL history where teams finished 6-0 in their division but still missed the playoffs. Notably, the 2008 New England Patriots and the 2010 San Diego Chargers both achieved this feat. These cases often arise due to poor performance in non-divisional games or tiebreaker scenarios, showcasing how challenging it can be to qualify for the playoffs despite a strong divisional record.

Has an NFL team ever missed the playoffs after winning every division game?

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.

Can the Vikings still make the playoffs?

As of now the Vikes are 5-3. They are tied for second in the division with the Packers. Their last half of the season has them playing 5 teams over .500... Yes they can still make the playoffs but it's a long shot.


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.

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.

Can you win your division an still make playoffs with a losing record?

The first determining factor for the playoffs is whether you won your division. Division winners get automatic playoff berths, regardless of their record. Overall records only come into play for tiebreakers.

As a corollary to a 3-13 team making the playoffs under the current NFL alignment what is the best regular season record a team could have and still not make the playoffs?

In the same way as the potential 3-13 play-off team, there could be a division where the four teams split the wins between them and win all their games outside their division, so all four teams would finish 13-3. Only the division champions plus a maximum of two wild cards from the division would qualify for the play-offs, so a 13-3 team would be guaranteed to miss out.
