The San Diego Chargers most recently made the playoffs during the 2013-2014 season. They advanced to the Divisional Playoffs, but lost to the Denver Broncos.
As of the 2008 season, the last time the Rams made the playoffs was 2004 as a wild card team. They defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card playoff round and then lost to the Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional playoff round.
The First Round of the NBA Playoffs was changed from best-of-5 to best-of-7 before the 2003 playoffs. The 2002 playoffs was the last time there was best-of-5.
2012 AFC Divisional Playoffs vs. the Baltimore Ravens.
== == As of the 2007 season, the Ravens last appearance in the playoffs was the 2006 season. They lost to the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional playoffs 15-6.
The last time the Avalanche made the playoffs was in 2010. They lost to the San Jose Sharks in six games.
I hope this answers the question. Each of the 2 teams that compete against each other play one day and then get the next day off. Whoever wins a series (not the Stanley Cup Finals)(example: The quarterfinals) gets about 4-7 days before there next opponent .

The Mets were expected to make the playoffs in 2007, but had a historic collapse, blowing a 7 game lead in the last 17 games.
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.
The last time they were in the playoffs was in 2012/2013 season.
