Best Answer

Prior to the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, there were no wild card teams to make the playoffs. In 1967, the Los Angeles Rams and the Baltimore Colts tied for the Coastal Division championship with identical records of 11-1-2. The Rams made the playoffs and the Colts went home because the Colts lost the final game of the season to the Rams, 34-30, giving the Rams the tiebreaker advantage against the Colts.

How many regular season NFL 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.
