1960

It depends upon the league/sport. In the NFL, for example, the team with the best overall record wins their division. In the event of a tie, the division record acts as the tiebreaker. I believe the best conference record wins the conference in NCAA Football, regardless of overall record. Then there are the league like the NHL, where a team earns 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or post regulation loss--with the team accumulating the most points winning their division/conference.

According to today's Baltimore Sun, "The Steelers have the best home winning percentage (.722) in the NFL since 1970."

Must be a steelers fan since he doesn't include the year 66,67,68,69 in which the Steelers were terrible. Include those numbers and the steelers do not have the best home winning percentage. Since 1966 the Kansas City Chiefs have the best winning percentage followed by the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers, who defeated the Carolina Panthers 30-13.

A College Football field is 100 yards long, like an NFL field. There aren't many differences between College Football and NFL, except things like they have to be in College, so they can only play for four years, and the fact that only one foot has to be in for a catch to be complete.

Through the 2008 season, the Lions have made the playoffs four times in the past 15 years: 1) 1994 - lost to the Packers in the wild card round

2) 1995 - lost to the Eagles in the wild card round

3) 1997 - lost to the Buccaneers in the wild card round

4) 1999 - lost to the Redskins in the wild card round

Highest scoring Monday Night Football game took place on November 15, 2010. The Philadelphia Eagles won 59 to 28 against the Washingtion Redskins.

Three teams in the division can make it to the playoffs. 12 teams in total qualify for the playoffs, 6 in the AFC and 6 in the NFC. The division winners from each conference are the top 4 seeds. There are 4 divisions in each conference, so that's 8 teams. The remaining four make up the wild card teams. the next 2 best teams who are not division winners in the NFC and the next 2 best teams from the AFC also qualify for the playoffs, which are the 5 and 6 seeds. It is possible that both wildcard winners in either conference, are in the same division, as long as they have the next 2 best records.

Yes, in the 2006 playoffs, the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys all made in from the NFC East.

The worst record for a playoff team that played a full, 16 game regular season is 7-9, belonging to the 2010 Seattle Seahawks. There have also been nine 8-8 playoff teams as of the end of 2010:

1. 2008 Chargers

2. 2006 Giants

3. 2004 Rams

4. 2004 Vikings

5. 1999 Cowboys

6. 1999 Lions

7. 1991 Jets

8. 1990 Saints

9. 1985 Browns

Using the league alignment and scheduling instituted by the NFL in 2002, it is possible for all four teams in a division to be 3-13; one of them will have to be the winner. In this scenario, each team loses 4 inter-conference games and 6 intra-conference games for 10 total losses. Additionally, each team in the division splits with each other divisional opponent for 3 more losses.

It is also possible to win the division with a 0-10-6 record. Each team must tie in all games with divisional opponents, then lose the rest of their games. One team will win a tie breaker and win the division. It is very unlikely, but theoretically possible. Imagine that, a team makes the playoffs with no wins!

5-11 is the worst possible wild card record, though it is even more far-fetched than the 3-13 scenario. Other than the 4 Division winners, the other 12 teams would all split intra-conference games (3-3) -- though some would go 2-4 as well, they would not be able to win the wildcard -- and divisional games, except against the divisional champion (2-4), and then lose all their inter-conference games (0-4).

Yes, but only at the tail end of the 2009 season, when the Cowboys won the NFC East division title. On January 9, 2010, Dallas defeated the Philadelphia Eagles at Cowboys Stadium in the wild card round, 34-14. A week later, on January 17, 2010, the Cowboys were eliminated in the divisional round by Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome, 34-3.

The Cowboys did not qualify for the playoffs during the 2010 season because they struggled with a 6-and-10 record and finished in third place in their division.

A referee does not have to be in any specific position to blow the whistle; they could do it from anywhere they like, but obviously it will often be from somewhere near any foul that occurred or at least near the play at the time.

As of the 2008 season, the Lions last made the playoffs in the 1999 season when they went 8-8 and made it in as a wild card team. They lost in the wild card round to the Washington Redskins, 27-13, but they will soon!!!!

The Chicago Bears hold the record for most game wins at 730-534-42. The Chicago Bears have held some NFL greats like, Jim McMahon, the amazing kick/punt returner Devin Hester, Lance Briggs, William "The Refrigerator" Perry, Mike Brown, Linebacker Brian Urlacher, Mike Singletary, Mike Ditka, Gale Sayers, Dick Butkus, and of course, some say the greatest to ever play the game, number 34, Walter Payton.

The Chicago Bears partake in one of the biggest rivalries in football, against the Green Bay Packers. And it is well known that the greatest enemy the Bears have ever seen is, Brett Favre. Though the Packers put up a good fight, the Chicago Bears lead the rivalry 93 wins, to Green Bay's 89 wins, along with 6 tie games, this includes the postseason.

As of May 13th, 2010, there are only 4 teams left in the playoffs. The Orlando Magic will play the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals. The winners of each series will meet in the NBA finals to determine the champions.

NBC, which airs Sunday night football contests during the NFL regular season, traditionally televises back-to-back games on "Wild Card Saturday." Meanwhile, CBS, the network of the American Football Conference, and FOX, the network of the National Football Conference, handle all other postseason contests through the league Championship Games.

The Super Bowl rotates among the three networks. FOX will televise Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on February 6, 2011. NBC will televise Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5, 2012. CBS has the rights to Super Bowl XLVII, tentatively scheduled for

February 3, 2013 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.

ESPN, which airs Monday night football games, and the NFL Network, which airs Thursday and Saturday contests near the end of the season, are not presently in the mix for Super Bowl telecasts.

The 2008-09 AFC championship game is scheduled to be played Sunday, January 18, 2009.

a bracket is set up by looking at every teams record and seeding them. there r 2 conferences the AFC and NFC.6 teams in each conference go to the playoffs. the division winners automatically make it to the playoffs. then they look at the records of the teams that didn't win their division and select the best 2 teams out of those to play the 3 and 4 seed in the first round which is called the wildcard round.the 1 and 2 seeds get to skip that round.if a team loses in the playoffs once,they're out.the second round is called the divisional round.the 1 seed would play the winner of the 4 seed and wildcard team game since that team earned it.however, if the winner of the wildcard game between the 4 seed and wildcard team is in the same division as the 1 seed they will play the 2 seed instead, forcing the 1 seed to play the winner of game between the 3 seed and wildcard team.the 3rd round is called the AFC/NFC championship. the winners of the conference championships will play each other in the superbowl,and thus we will have our winner. the playoffs are designed to see whos the best of the best.

The general manager of an NFL team is usually the highest paid employee of the club and reports to the CEO of the team. The salary of an NFL general manager is typically between $1 million and $3 million dollars a year.

The Houston Texans are the only NFL team never to make the playoffs. However, they are the youngest franchise, playing only since 2002. They also posted their first winning season in 2009, with a 9-7 record.
