Who won last 10 Super Bowls?
Originally Answered: What two NFL teams have never played each other? If you're referring to the current league's 32 teams, then the answer is zero. Every one had played everyone else by the end of the 2006 season, following the 2002 realignment and the Houston Texans joining the league.
This can happen at all 4 division spots. This puts all 3 of these teams at another 1-1. Giving a final record of 8-8. We have therefore proven by example that all teams can go 8-8 in the same season.
As of 2020, qualification into the playoffs works as follows: The four division champions from each conference (the team in each division with the best overall record) are seeded 1 through 4 based on their overall won-lost-tied record.
Two 9-7 teams have made the Super Bowl and lost: Los Angeles Rams, Super Bowl XIV. Arizona Cardinals, Super Bowl XLIII.
The Patriots are one of only two 11-5 teams to ever miss the playoffs; the other was the 1985 Denver Broncos back when there were only five playoff teams per conference.
Since going to the current division/playoff format, it has happened 7 times: 2006-07 NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants. 2007-08 AFC South: Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans. 2007-08 NFC East: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins.
The 1982 NFL strike, which lasted for eight weeks, forced the 1982 season to be shortened to 9 games per team. The 1987 NFL strike, which lasted for 24 days and forced the 1987 season to be shortened to 15 games per team. The 2012 NFL referee lockout, which impacted the first few weeks of the 2012 NFL season.
With a postseason record of 30–11, he is first all-time in playoff wins and appearances for an NFL player, including an NFL-record eight consecutive AFC championship games between 2011 and 2018 (and 13 overall). Brady has also been selected to 14 Pro Bowls, which ties the NFL record for most selections.
Manning was 8-4 in 12 postseason starts and he owns the franchise playoff records with 400 pass attempts, 242 completions, 60.5 completion percentage, 2,815 yards and 18 touchdown passes. Manning's 18 postseason touchdown passes were caught by nine different receivers.
Tom Brady is the NFL's all-time leader in playoff wins, touchdown passes, passing yards and completion percentage. Since entering the league in 2000, Brady has played the equivalent of 2 1/2 seasons of postseason football with 40 games under his belt.
