Since the 2001 NFL season, when the NFL went to a 4 division per Conference format, there have been seven instances where teams with better records than division winners failed to qualify for the playoffs. This scenario can only happen when Division winners have a lower than "normal" record. The seven instances:

  • 2015 New York Jets 10-6 (2nd place in AFCE) did not qualify, Houston Texans 9-7 AFCS Division champion
  • 2014 Philadelphia Eagles 10-6 (2nd place in NFCE) did not qualify, Carolina Panthers 7-8-1 NFCS Division champion
  • 2013 Arizona Cardinals 10-6 (3rd place in NFCW) did not qualify, Green Bay Packers 8-7-1 NFCN Division champion
  • 2011 Tennessee Titans 9-7 (2nd place in AFCS) did not qualify, Denver Broncos 8-8 AFCW Division champion
  • 2010 New York Giants 10-6 (2nd place in NFCE) did not qualify, Seattle Seahawks 7-9 NFCW Division champion
  • 2010 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-6 (2nd place in NFCS) did not qualify, Seattle Seahawks 7-9 NFCW Division champion
  • 2008 New England Patriots 11-5 (2nd place in AFCE) did not qualify, San Diego Chargers 8-8 AFCW Division champion
