They're could be as many as 105 games played if every series went 7 games. Minimum number of games for one team to win is 16.
The Cowboys have been in the playoffs 29 times since they became an NFL team in 1960.
2004 (only the Eagles went to the playoffs, as Division champs).
New York Jets 2011 went to the afc championship 2012 didnt make the playoffs
Brewers
Since the NFL went to it's current twelve game playoff format in 1990 eleven team who have been three games below .500 at any point during the regular season have gone on to make the playoffs. The last team to start the season 1-4 and make the playoffs were the 2002 NY Jets who not only made the playoffs but won the AFCE. The 2008 Chargers are the only team since 1990 to ever be four games below .500 at any point during the regular season and make the playoffs. SD won the AFCW in a tie breaker with the Denver Broncos.
