(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.
