Every NFL team’s playoff record at a glance

Years are seasons, not calendar years: a 2025 entry means the playoffs played in January and February 2026. Super Bowl totals include the franchise’s earlier cities, so the Colts count Baltimore, the Raiders count Oakland and Los Angeles, and the Rams count St. Louis.

Which teams have the longest playoff droughts?

The New York Jets have not made the playoffs since the 2010 season, the longest active drought in the league at 15 straight seasons. The Atlanta Falcons are next, last in during the 2017 season. The Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals have all been out since the 2021 season.

Making the playoffs and winning a game there are different things. The Miami Dolphins have the longest active wait for a playoff win: their last one came in the 2000 season, a streak that reached seven straight postseason losses with their 2023 Wild Card defeat. The Raiders (2002), Jets (2010), Carolina Panthers (2015), Arizona Cardinals (2015) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2016) follow. The Steelers’ wait is unusual because it has covered seven playoff games, all lost.

Which teams ended long waits in the 2025 playoffs?

  • Chicago Bears: first playoff win since the 2010 season, 31-27 over the Packers on Wild Card Weekend.
  • Denver Broncos: first playoff win since Super Bowl 50, a 33-30 overtime Divisional Round win over the Bills.
  • New England Patriots: first playoff win since Super Bowl LIII, then a run to Super Bowl LX.
  • Houston Texans: first road playoff win in franchise history, 30-6 at Pittsburgh.
  • Buffalo Bills: first road playoff win in 33 years, 27-24 at Jacksonville.
  • Carolina Panthers: first playoff appearance since 2017 and first home playoff game since the 2015 NFC Championship.

Which teams have never played in a Super Bowl?

Four: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans. The Browns and Lions each won NFL championships before the Super Bowl era, Cleveland most recently in 1964 and Detroit in 1957. The Jaguars (founded 1995) and Texans (2002) have both reached their conference championship game but never gone further.

NFL team playoff records in short

Twenty champions, 12 teams still waiting, four that have never reached the Super Bowl and one, the Jets, that has not seen the playoffs in 15 seasons. Individual team pages with full postseason histories are being added below this table.

Which NFL team has the most playoff appearances?

The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers are at the top of the list with more than 35 postseason appearances each, followed closely by the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. The Cowboys also hold the record for most playoff games played.

Which team has lost the most Super Bowls?

The New England Patriots, with six losses after Super Bowl LX. The Denver Broncos are next with five. The Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings have each lost four without a win.

Which team has the longest active playoff streak?

The Buffalo Bills, who made the playoffs for a seventh straight season in 2025. The Kansas City Chiefs’ streak of 10 straight appearances ended when they missed the 2025 playoffs.

Has every NFL team made the playoffs at least once?

Yes. The Houston Texans, the newest franchise, made their first playoffs in the 2011 season. Every team has also won at least one playoff game.

Which teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls?

Eight teams have done it: the Packers (I and II), Dolphins (VII and VIII), Steelers twice (IX and X, XIII and XIV), 49ers (XXIII and XXIV), Cowboys (XXVII and XXVIII), Broncos (XXXII and XXXIII), Patriots (XXXVIII and XXXIX) and Chiefs (LVII and LVIII).

Do a team’s Super Bowl titles count if the franchise moved cities?

Yes. The NFL treats a franchise as one continuous record no matter where it plays, so the Rams’ St. Louis title and the Raiders’ Oakland and Los Angeles titles stay with the team.
