#NFL #Football #AmericanFootball - Sport
The two most shocking ones that come to mind first are the Chargers with the #1 offense and #1 defense... like how was their special teams so bad that they missed the playoffs??? And then the 11-5 Patriots. Yeah they didn't have Brady, but 11 wins and missing the playoffs is just wild
I agree
Seeding issues for the patriots they lost too many divisional games I think 3 of their 5 losses were divisional
It's almost as if...the fix was in
that's why the American playoff system sucks, and the European point system is better. But that's also why the American Playoff is so exciting and the European sometimes is boring. Playoffs encourage mediocrity and tanking (because of no relegation) and sometimes bad teams making the playoffs over great like Washington in 2019, while the other system is too weird, I saw a documentary the other day about Man City where they won the premier league while just being on a plane or playing golf they weren't even watching the other match and it was so anticlimactic.
@@WillXtinger yeah see that's why the points system is weak because some teams can front run and the other teams can cancel eachother out meaning the champ is known early on. Football is the best playoff format because it's one game and the upsets happen out of nowhere. I wish they kept the college football playoff at 8 teams instead of 12 cuz that's half of the top 25 and it damn near deems rating irrelevant cuz one year a 13-15 team is gonna make the playoffs and they're gonna base it on "strength of schedule" which is a bs metric because no team can choose their schedule nor how good or bad the teams on their schedule will be the year prior or the year they play them. I also love the divisional win format as it puts more stock on the divisional rival games as opposed to focused on how many wins specifically because it allows a teams to focus moreso on the division opponents rather than trying to run the table like they attempt to force the college football teams to do which is so hard
Can you also do worst teams to make the playoffs.
Not too long ago the NFC West had a division winner with a losing record, think it was the Seahawks, guess I should have googled it before commenting, lol
@@dansweda712 I also know that in the past decade one year the Panthers won the NFC South with a 7-9 record. It may have been early in Cam Newton's career or before he was drafted.
@@georgegeorgiou7668 it would make a good video, I'll have to do a little research and see if any of those teams made it passed the first round

Throwback game options for this week:
Seahawks/49ers: 2013 NFC Championship Game
Bills/Dolphins: 1998 AFC Wild Card Game
Giants/Vikings: 1993 NFC Wild Card Game
Also the Bills-Dolphins 1992 AFC Championship Game, Giants-Vikings 1997 Wild Card, and Giants-Vikings 2000 NFC Championship Game
@@ChiefBlue4298 wasn't the Giants Vikings game in 2000 like 40-0
The 2013 NFCC was a GREAT game that featured the two best teams of the season, either one would have drubbed the Broncos after sharpening each other the previous 3 seasons. The NFCW was a TOUGH division and over the last 20 years they have represented the NFC in the Super Bowl 9 times. That 2013 game was just amazing
@@fitzyfiddle
41-0.
Unfortunately probably won’t see this happen with their being 7 seeds and it’s more likely that a team with a losing record will get it the post season.
Imo if u have a losing record in any sport u shouldn’t be rewarded.
An other reason why I think the nba format is stupid 8 seeds is way too much just like 7 seeds is too much in the nfl
The 2010 Chargers are one of the biggest anomalies in NFL history to me. Although that entire division was arguably just as strange because the division winning Chiefs only had a 2-4 divisional record and clearly looked like an inferior team while the third-place Raiders swept the entire division.
Special Teams. Secreto Base YT channel has a full documentary on them
@@AlbertoFlores-rz8bo I know I’ve seen it
The AFC west that year needs to be recapped
Imagine if the 2010 chargers special team wasn't so abysmal
As a Denver fan, that would be terrifying and fun to watch
@@pasantmo7363 Damn did you just get my ip???
They’d still probably lose in there first playoff game
Coaching blunder.
Rivers still would have found a way to choke it away.
14:29
Dan Campbell catching a Touchdown pass.
His name should be on this list from this season
I feel bad for Chargers fans in 2010
One thing people forget is that the special teams was so bad that the Chargers always had worse field position. So the offense would always have to go 75 yards or further to score so they racked up more yards than other teams. And the defense always started near midfield and gave up less yards overall even when the other team scored. So it was actually these units overcoming the awful special teams that had them at #1 and #2 in the league. Also almost every loss was by one score and included some sort of special teams gaffe that cost them the game.
@@camerongreenberg1664 The ranking is only in yardage, which is bad to gauge for overall quality.
What about now lmfaoo
I remember that 1986 Seattle Seahawks Team as I was 3 years old and I remember 😭😭 so much between my uncle telling me the bad news about Our Seahawks, My Grandpa having his 3rd & final open heart surgery (would pass away in January 1988) Rough year but do remember the fond times watching football even at that early age. Nice Video
2017 Ravens are also up there. Defense got 3 shutouts during the year and they only missed the postseason because in week 17 they were shocked at home by the Bengals, giving the Bills the 6 seed
As a ravens fans I remember that season and we didn’t deserve to almost make the playoffs. Sure our defense was great but our offense was unwatchable
Thanks for including the '76 Bengals...most folks never knew or have forgotten about how close those '73-'77 Bengals were to greatness...but, the Dolphins, Steelers & Raiders were truly the great teams of that era when the AFC was king.
I will always remember the 2007 Browns, going 10-6 but missing the playoffs. That team seems like an aberration, considering the misery the Browns would experience in the next decade.
I remember the 2004 Bills, first year I was a fan of them. McGee was dynamite at kick returner. 0-4 start, then go 9-3 the rest of the way.
I would also throw in the 2007 10-6 Browns in there as well.
Not sure how they missed that one
They were better than the 2020 Cleveland Browns who finished with a negative point differential.
2014 Chiefs: Went 9-7, top 5 defense, and beat both teams that went to the Superbowl that year
This is just amazing nfl throwback
The 91 Eagles won 10 games with just defense. You'd have to think that if Randall is healthy they win at least 2 more of those games. Especially loses to Tampa where they had to start Brad Goebel & The Saints who they lost to by a TD. Sadly that may have been that teams best chance at a Super Bowl as Keith Jackson left via free agency the next season & they lost Jerome Brown in a tragic auto accident. The team was gutted by free agency and injuries the next two seasons.
Charles “Peanut” Tillman is responsible for the starting the “peanut punches” when forcing turnovers!
Which is why he deserves to be in the hall of fame. Literally changed how players tackle today and was the best by far at it.
2008 Patriots for sure even with Matt Cassel. I believe the only 11 win team to ever miss the playoffs
There was also a Broncos team back in the day but before the playoffs expanded. Browns made it at 8-8 tho lol bad luck
@@averageduck1327 1985
@@rustyshackleford1114 love the username too👌
1985 Denver was 11-5 and missed the playoffs
You just needed to watch the video to know Patriots weren't the only team in history
18:02 good to see "Never Fair Catch Josh Cribbs" in the video, if you're not familiar with him, it's because the best returner of all time Hester played in the same time period
Dude everybody knows Josh cribbs
How are the 2003 Vikings not on here just wanting to hear the Vikings radio call on the last play loss to the cardinals
Defense collapsed, outside of Kevin Williams and 2 safeties that combined for 18 interceptions we had nothing
@@Johnhargrove18
Of the 7 losses in their final 10 games, 5 were to teams that finished with losing records. The Giants, Chargers, Raiders, Bears and Cardinals.
@@shauncameron8390 yeah and they beat the 13-3 chiefs to stay alive. Mike tice had a tendency to have mid season collapses. 5-1 the next year to 8-8. Made the playoffs that year tho
@@Johnhargrove18 that team still should of made the playoffs...should of beaten the Cardinals who went 4-12 that year
@@shauncameron8390And go figure they won 4 games against playoff teams (GB, KC, DEN, SEA)
That hail mary in 1991 cost the 49ers and if the Eagles hadn't let Tampa score two touchdowns in the last 4 minutes of their game in 1991, the post season that year would have been much different.
1991’s NFC featured eight teams with ten wins or more, Minnesota and the Giants were 8-8, and four teams who were 4-12 or worse.
Not really. The Skins would still have won. Good name by the way
11:04 Touchdown San Diego!! that sound never gets old! man I wish they never left!
4.6K yards and 28 touchdowns in that era wtf, how've I never heard of Lomax before
It's a shame, that 1991 49ers team really was the best of the Steve Young era. They still had a SB worthy defense and a damn fine offense. It took them a few weeks to find their footing on offense in the Montana to Young transition, but once they did they were a machine. But truly, the one thing that kept Young from guiding them to more SB's was the defenses that they put on the field. They couldn't get to the QB and had questionable CB play. See what happened when they added Deion Sanders, a SB victory.
I remember the final game that year when they blew out playoff bound Chicago Bears and Paul Maguire said: "If this team made the playoffs they would be unstoppable". As a big Redskins fan I knew this to be true.
The 98 Niners also. Surprised the Falcons beat them
@@jrad410 The 1995-98 49ers were a mirage. Their offensive line was getting older and more terrible, their running game was touch and go, and their defense was overrated, particularly guys like Merton "Spastic Colon Dance" Hanks (one of the most overrated DB's ever) and Tim McDonald (who should have been moved to LB by then). They played against several bad QB's in that time period (Tony Banks, Danny Wuerffel, Heath Shuler, Craig Whelihan, Mike Tomczak, etc...) .
Their 1995 defense was arguably just as strong as their 1994 unit even without Deion. Ricky Watters leaving really shackled the offense though, and by the time Garrison Hearst got going as a 49er, the defense was getting kind of old. Although in 1997 they had a great defense. Honestly though Steve as great as he was, was not the most dominant playoff performer. He had a couple of games where he just couldn't get anything going against quality defenses, and couldn't step up.
@@astrostar49 Steve was shackled by a non existent running game for years. An old overrated defense, aside from the DT's. Regular season success was due to the fact they could get out to early leads and just play the pass. Also the NFC West was weak so they could pick up 5 or 6 wins there yearly. During those years in the 90's they mostly didn't have the defense to compete for the SB, but definitely had the offense to beat the also rans. The Cowboys and Packers had monster defenses and Tampa was developing one prior to their SB year. The team was basically Young an old Rice, Brent Jones and a budding TO.
Also I do believe the coaching and game planning was very mediocre during this span of time.
The 1986 Seahawks also beat both combatants that were in that years Super Bowl.
If that 1991 49ers make the playoffs, they could have gone all the way to the NFC Championship game.
Phillip Rivers might as well be wearing #14 because his career mirrored that of Dan Fouts. Great regular season stats but no playoff success.
Fouts got more afc title appearances than rivers.
He did have a lot of bad luck like Marlon Mcree's fumble, Vincent Jackson's drops, and getting screwed by his kicker in 2009.
And honestly the way their defense played in the 2007 AFC Championship if they were healthy that 07 Charger had a slim chance to pull the upset against the 16-0 Patriots
@@gbrow1604 also Tomlinson and Gates always seemed to be injured when it came time for the playoffs
The 1967 Baltimore Colts had the league MVP and came into the final week of the season undefeated… and missed the playoffs.
Maybe not statistical great but the 1989 packers hild a special place in my heart. As a kid watching Majik man throw to Sterling sharp and win 10 games was so cool.
What did in the 2005 Chiefs was going 1-3 vs the NFC East (that aforementioned Dallas game, plus blowing a big lead at home vs Philly)
Man I remember that 2004 Bills team, we had a win and in situation in the final game vs Pittsburgh, AT HOME, AND WE LOST TO THEIR GOD DAMNED BACKUPS. I was sooooo pissed lmao
As a Steelers fan, I remember that game. Tommy Maddox and Veron Haynes 😂 and James Harrison who wasn’t a starter at the time, scored on defense.
First team that comes to mind was 2018 Steelers. It was final season of that crazy offense they had. They beat the eventual SB champs late in December and a week after that they should’ve beat the #1 seed Saints if it wasn’t for a Juju fumble. They had a tie which was the only reason why my Ravens won the division that year.
2018 Steelers could of been one for sure, but as a fan, that 2009 team was better and should of had a chance to make a run at a repeat.
While I believe the 2018 Steelers were "better" than the Ravens, the Ravens were assuredly the more deserving team. We blew far too many games against wimpy teams we should've easily defeated (Denver, Oakland as usual, and getting robbed by the refs against the Chargers).
2018 also came to mind too. But i think I remembered it cause it was such a crazy season that it was easy to remember. Levion brown skipping out, climax of brown as a steeler, losing to horrible teams and beating great teams the next week, etc. Probably one of the more memorable seasons for a team not making the playoffs
Nobody would have wanted to play that 11-5 pats team in 2008. Such a crazy record to post to not make the playoffs. 2 games early in the year made the difference in the season. The Ronnie Brown wild cat came was week 3 blow out. And a huge game against the Jets that we lost in OT in week 11 was the difference in the tie breaker. But the pats really found their identity as the season went on late. Crazy they didn't make it still.
Yet the 8-8 Chargers made it into the playoffs that year, and a 9-6-1 Eagles team boasted a top five defense and an explosive offense. It was crazy.
As a diehard eagles fan, the 1991 eagles will forever be a painful memory. If Randall Cunningham doesn't get injured, that was their year. I still remember that play when Bryce Paup (sp?) went low on Cunningham and took him out (not blaming him). Nobody could handle that defense. The carousel of awful quarterbacks was an absolute farce, and they still went 10-6.
I'm surprised the 2014 Eagles didn't make this list. Most points in franchise history until this year, and they got off to a 9-3 start before losing 3 of 4 and missing the playoffs at 10-6
And then in 1993, the Eagles got off to a hot start and Randall got hurt again.
nobody was stopping the redskins that year
I want to say thank you because thanks to you I graduated high school with my senior project on the history of the nfl and got all my information from you
always A+ content, thank you NFL Throwback
Forgot all about the Seahawks being in the AFC originally, before they broke up the divisions and made them four teams each
My buddy whos a die hard viking fans would always say the 86 lost streak was on unlucky coin tosses lol. Still 86 season is one of the best ever. Tons of great teams, it was anyone's bowl, it all came down to who got the most lucky.
Great video, thanks !
Would have loved hearing more about the 1967 Colts though
Great video. I remember some of those teams. I was shocked that the '91 49ers missed the playoffs. They were always a threat in those days. The '08 Patriots even with Matt Cassel you felt could make a playoff run if they made it but of course they didn't. The Redskins of the '80s were one of the league's best and even I was surprised they missed the playoffs in 1989.
From a Jets fan 2015 so were 10-5 all we have to do to make the playoffs is beat buffalo in our final game
Now mind you the bills were trash that season leading into that game we beat the Patriots and the Cowboys in back to back games but fucking lost to the bills --__--
That season was the last time we had a winning record and the last time we beat the Patriots
2008 was wild in general, there was so many terrible god awful teams that year that it completely warped the records of the squads with pulses lol. 0-16 lions, 2-14 chiefs and rams, three other teams with only 4 wins...
I got the pleasure of seeing the 1991 Eagle squad at Dallas, shutting out Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys 24-0. We were shocked QB Randall Cunningham was lost for the season week one at GB, but Jim McMahon played fine for them, and that defense.....sacked Aikman about nine times!
I remember multiple seasons where the Buccaneers would have a winning record and still miss the playoffs. One year they went 10-6 and still missed it.
Shocking, An 11-1-2 Colts in 1967 missed the playoffs?? Just how many teams were there back then and what were the playoff teams records? Similar shock to the two 11-5 teams to miss the playoffs, the 2008 Patriots and 49ers but forget which year they mentioned.
In 1967 the pre merger NFL had 16 teams. That year they realigned the divisions and expanded the playoffs from 2 to 4. Four divisions, four playoff teams. No wild cards. The Colts had the misfortune of being in the same division as the Rams, they tied at 11-1-2 but Los Angeles won the tiebreaker.
@@TheAlfrulz But the next season, 1968, the 10-3-1 Rams stayed home while the 13-1 Colts went to the playoffs. Life just ain't fair.
Yah. And people call that, "the good old days". 12/14 game season, and no wild card is pretty tough sledding. I'm not a big fan of more games and expanded/diluted playoffs, BUT the NFL gets it right. NFL recently changed to Super Wild Card? Can't say they are 100% wrong.
I love these videos. They’re so good.
Here are other teams you missed:
1980 Patriots
2007 Browns
2020 Dolphins
1981 Broncos
1988 Saints
1976 Cardinals
1979 Redskins
2002 Saints
2014 Eagles
2013 Cardinals
2015 Jets
1979 Patriots were 9-7, but deserve a shoutout for having a better point differential than every team in the NFC .
1977 Dolphins, a lot of teams got the shaft in the '70s before the extra wildcard was added.
@@fortynights1513Pats came close in '77, '79, and '80. Forgotten era.
1981 Broncos are the only team in the SB era to go undefeated at home and miss the playoffs
The 1986 Bengals not on here is a surprise as they beat both SEA/MIN
The Steelers were the first team to beat the Vikings in 2009, the year when Brett Favre took us to the NFC Championship Game. I remember feeling like I knew the winning streak would end because the Steelers always seemed to have our number, insane that they didn't make the playoffs, but they've always seemed to narrowly miss the playoffs after either winning the SB or making a big playoff run, and it's been like that for years and years.
They do indeed. The Steelers can be infuriating, but only because they never hit rock bottom to get the high picks in the draft. Fun fact - the Steelers have not finished last in their division since 1988 when Chuck Noll was the head coach.
Polamalu, the DPOY the very next year, went down to injury and we inexplicably lost 5 straight games, all in fluky, garbage ways. The Chiefs game, well, you saw that "interception" that Heath Miller couldn't grab, the Hail Mary on the final drive against the Raiders, Ben throwing for 350+ yet somehow not scoring a TD against freaking Cleveland, and Ben being injured yet we're teased against the Ravens, who need OT to beat whoever the heck we had at QB (Dennis Dixon was it?).
2009 was infuriating. I have zero doubts the Steelers would've made a deep playoff run had they qualified for the postseason.
@@jaxonwoods8181 they started 6-2 and had a tough schedule. Also, they played the afc west, a division Pittsburgh doesn’t fare well against. That said, I think they could’ve made a run if they wound up with the #6 seed instead of the ravens
@@mariosnum1fan We do struggle against the AFC West indeed, but one of the teams we historically struggle against (Denver) we beat pretty handily in their own house. We crushed SD at Heinz - they went 13-3 in '09. We did drop the aforementioned games against KC (a team we usually had no issue against) and Oakland (can't say the same there lol).
1991 Eagles were the top defense in the league and one of the top of all time. I loved that MNF game against the Oilers
Not the top scoring defense, plus their offense was kinda ass. The 49ers scored over 100 points more than the Eagles and gave up less points and didn't make the playoffs either. Also the 49ers beat the Eagles so they had the head to head with both teams missing the playoffs at 10-6.
@@philobeddoe8342 San Fran was definitely better, but for the eighth best team in the conference, Philly wasn’t half bad.
How you have the number one offense and defense but missed the playoffs oh yeah that’s the chargers for you
It’d be more shocking if they were number one by points on both sides and did that.
The 1979 patriots had a solid year, despite missing the playoffs. The pats scored 411 points, 2nd most in the nfl. They had 2 recievers with other 1,000 yards, in harold jackson and stanley Morgan, and qb steve grogan lead the nfl in touchdown passes. New england's defense also featured 57 sacks, and all pro cornerback mike haynes. New england was 8-4 at one point in the season, but 3 straight losses kept them out of the postseason, with a 9-7 record
The chargers are up there in top 10 for missing the playoffs with amazing offense and defense 😢
My entire experience being a Chargers fan of the Philip Rivers era was just extremely frustrating. Besides the lack of a decent head coach after the 14-2 06' team. There was only ONE MASSIVE ISSUE with the Chargers that had been killing that team for over a decade... Any real Chargers fan will agree with this fact: Special Teams was beyond horrible. Had they had the sense to draft or buy an elite kicker, that'd added multiple wins to probably every year P. RIVERS was the QB. It was disgusting how many games were lost from a missed field goal.
The 2005 Chiefs still hurt. The next year, Green gets majorly concussed and was never the same and the team began to get old. I still love the picture of Gunter Cunningham flipping off the refs in that Dallas game.
1980 patriots suppose to be here could’ve been an honorable mention the unluckiest team in NFL history
Missing the playoffs with 11-5 record that tough.
Also the 2005 Chiefs or even Chargers would have been a better addition than Jacksonville in the playoffs that year.
Think about this: in 2008 I remember there were a LOT of collapses.
Bills: start 5-1, miss the playoffs
Jets: start 8-3, miss playoffs
Broncos: 8 wins with only 1 to win the division, lose out and the Chargers win it after being 4-8
Cowboys: 8-4, miss out
Buccaneers 9-3, lose out
Wild times
Five of Buffalo's seven losses in 04 were by 5 points or less.
The 1975 Oilers were much like the 1976 Bengals. They were in the uber competitive AFC central division. They went 10-4, all four losses came to their division rivals Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. The Steelers won the division at 12-2, the Bengals took the lone wild card at 11-3, and the Oilers stayed home.
Side note: By opposing win percentage (.643), the Browns, the fourth team in that division, played the hardest schedule of any NFL team that played 12 games or more.
2022 Detroit Lions 🤣

That 2010 Chargers team had really bad Special Teams, but I remember that year. They had enough boneheaded plays on Offense, and enough Defensive breakdowns, to cost themselves wins as well. But their Special Teams was so bad that is was an easy scapegoat.
The 2022 Detroit Lions should be on this list!
Right
Not a bad team, but I’m not sure if I’d go that far
Chargers were on the verge of greatness but sadly lucked out
The Colts, undefeated till the final game and miss the playoffs.
The following year it was the Rams turn, going 10-3-1 and leading the league in total defense, but missing the playoffs.

As a chiefs fan, I blame that 2008 patriots team for making the chiefs front office believe that Matt Cassel could be a franchise QB
Imagine being the chargers ST’s coach at the coaching meetings
The opening play is my favorite of all time
Another team that should've been mentioned was the 2020 Miami Dolphins. They had the league 6th best scoring offense and number 6 defense. In addition, they were the only team with a winning record that year that failed to make the playoffs
The 1975 oilers finished 10-4, with the 5th best defense in the league. It was their first winning season in the post merger era, and the first year for bum Phillips
I can't be the only person who misses those old Seahawks unis
I can speak to why the Patriots missed the playoffs in 2008: their 5 losses were to the Colts, Steelers, Chargers, Dolphins (the Wildcat game), and the Brett Favre Jets. Aside from splitting with the latter two teams, they just couldn't beat good teams.
As a Steelers fan, I think a case could be made for the 2021 Ravens to be here. 8-3 start that fell apart because of a string of bad decisions by John Harbaugh and a rash of injuries that ended up causing them to finish at 8-9 on a six game slide. Also the 2018 Panthers who started 7-2 before falling apart.
nah the Ravens dont deserve to be there because like you said a bunch of injuries is what made them miss the playoffs. if the team wasnt injured and they have went 8-9 with most of their starters, then you have a case
I'm surprised the 2010 Giants didn't make the list. If not for Miracle in the New Meadowlands, they probably would have been the #2 seed that year.
they would've been the 2nd seed bc they beat the bears in week 4 of that season

And lost on the last day of the season.
Definitely the best Jet team in the last decade and change at minimum
"Team so nice, it's listed twice"
Oh boy, he didn't even talked about the second one....yet🤣
Was there any drama within the KC ‘05 coaching staff? I get the feeling they weren’t on the same page.
I’m glad the 2009 Steelers made this list, that was one of my favorite teams as a fan, they would of made a run imo.
Add the 2014 Philadelphia Eagles to list. Started the season 9-3. Ended the season 10-6. Miss the playoffs due to tiebreakers. If I remember correctly, 97% teams in a 16-week season that start the season 9-3 and end 10-6 make the playoffs. The Eagles were part of that 3% :(
2002 & 2003 Dolphins?
There's never been a division like the NFC East from 1986-1995. It was nothing but the some of the best units, coaches, teams, and players in NFL history. And the Cardinals were there too for some reason.
In 1991, those Cardinals were 4-12, and had to play by opposing win percentage, the hardest strength of schedule of any team that played 16 games or more (about .601 at that).
@@fortynights1513They only played 2 games against teams under .500 (Rams and Patriots, both in September)
Imagine only losing ONE game all season and missing the playoffs...
That's mind blowing to me!!!
If wild cards existed, Colts would have made it in 67.
Also, another pre-wild card team that deserves mention is the 1965 Bears with a rookie Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus.
Notably, that team had an above average passer in terms of efficiency in Rudy Bukich unlike most of the quarterbacks for that franchise at the time.
Unfortunately, Sayers and Butkus would both never play in a playoff game.
So many of these teams had great defenses, but terrible offenses
for sure the 2008 Patriots even with Matt Cassel, the only 11 win team to ever miss the playoffs, but maybe i'm wrong, but with a 11-5 record and not even get a wild card berth? that's just unheard of
They were the 2nd team to do that. The 1985 Broncos went 11-5 and missed the playoffs.
@@finchborat oh thank u so much !!!
1980 Patriots finished 10-6 missing out tying 5 other AFC teams at 11-5. While the Monday Night Football audience heard the horrifying news about John Lennon's killing, the Pats missed a FG that would have beaten the Dolphins. They lost in OT. They would have had all the tiebreakers.
The 2022 Detroit Lions
Had they done better with clock management back on Thanksgiving, they're the sacrificial lamb heading to San Fran this weekend.
Now we wait and see if they're a team to have an eye on next year.
This video is so fun and entertaining
They also had the 65th ranked special teams that year.
