During the strike-shortened 1982 season only nine regular season games were played, and a modified playoff format was instituted. Divisional play was ignored (there were some cases where division rivals had both games wiped out by the strike), and the top eight teams from each conference (based on W-L-T record) were advanced to the playoffs. This was the only year that teams with losing records qualified for the playoffs, the 4-5 Cleveland Browns and the 4-5 Detroit Lions. [17]

A few years ago the Rams and Vikings qualified for the playoffs at 8-8.
BTW, the guy who told you that the Raiders went to the Super Bowl at 4-12 is spreading false information. In the early 90s, Buffalo lost 4 straight Super Bowls and then it was San Diego's turn to lose one. Oakland did blow an 8-0 start and end up at 8-8 though in 1995.

i'm surprised by skill of a majority of those bandwagoners who come out from nowhere after a participant has a three undesirable game streak and his numbers are nonetheless almost same to Drew Brees'. I communicate a number of your factors. a million. Manning owns the main consecutive wins checklist, and he could have prolonged it while he grow to be 14-0 yet he sat after halftime final season against the Jets.. 2. returned, Manning could have accomplished final season it yet he voluntarily desperate to sit down in the final 2 video games. 5. besides his rookie twelve months and 2008 while he injury his knee in the 1st game, Brady has never had a season without interceptions. 6. Manning threw 2 passes and sat while he threw 40 9. Brady mandatory to play the excellent final game to interrupt the checklist. 8. Manning's is larger and holds the checklist 9. Manning's is larger. 10. regrettably, Neil O'Donnell's is larger so this would not instruct something 11. Manning has 4 17. supply some credit to that coach too, without Brady and with a QB that hadn't began a game considering severe college he gained 11 video games. I have been given drained at this element and that i knew this without doing any study. ---------------------------------------... NFL good one hundred gamers ever: Peyton Manning, ranked 8th and third between QB at the back of Montana and Unitas Tom Brady, ranked twenty first and seventh between QB

The Arizona Cardinals also made it to the playoffs with an 8-8 record in the 1990's, and they actually won their first playoff game!

A number of .500 teams have made the playoffs, and in the strike-shortened year of 1982, a number of sub-.500 teams made it. But no team with a record under .500 has made the playoffs in a non-strike year.
