1985 Cleveland Browns, 1990 New Orleans Saints, 1991 New York Jets, 1999 Dallas Cowboys, 1999 Detroit Lions, 2004 Minnesota Vikings, 2004 St. Louis Rams, 2006 New York Giants, 2008 San Diego Chargers, and 2011 Denver Broncos
The 1985 Browns, 2008 Chargers, and 2011 Broncos won their division ... all the others were wildcard teams.
The NBA playoffs consist of the top eight teams from each conference based on their regular season performance. The teams that make the playoffs are determined by their win-loss record throughout the season.
Regular season: Patriots & Panthers Regular season & Playoffs: Panthers
Each team plays 82 regular season games (not including playoffs). Counting all teams 1,230 games are played during the regular season.
My guess would be in the Playoffs the players need their rest, so they can peform their best when they play.
There are 16 regular season games in an NFL season. After the regular season is over, the to two teams have a first round "bye". Meaning they don't have to play that week while the other 8 teams do. Those 10 playoff teams are comprised of the 8 division winners, as well as two wildcard teams- one team from both the NFC and AFC with the best record, but who didn't make the playoffs. After the first round of playoffs, there's the Divisional Championships, then the Conference Championships and last but not least the Super Bowl. So, there are 16 regular season games and 5 weeks (4 rounds) of playoffs.
82 games unless there is a tie, 16 teams play in the playoffs
During the regular season, one. After the five minute overtime period, the game is settled by a shootout. During the playoffs there is no limit. The teams continue playing until someone scores.
16 games in the regular season
No, NFL teams cannot sign new players during the playoffs.
NHL teams may dress 18 skaters and 2 goalies for each game in the playoffs, just as in the regular season. Only difference between regular season and playoffs is that if a goalie gets hurt and a team as a 3rd goalie in the building and on the roster, he can suit up as the backup.
An NBA team qualifies for the playoffs by finishing in the top eight of their conference during the regular season. The top eight teams from each conference compete in a series of games to determine the conference champions and ultimately the NBA champion.
They lost to the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets in the regular season. In the playoffs, they lost again to the Jets.
