Who made the playoffs and had the fewest wins in nfl history?
That would have been during the strike season of 1982. Only 9 games were played during the regular season and the NFL expanded to playoffs to include 8 teams per conference. This was the only season a team with a winning percentage under .500 made the playoffs (the Lions and Browns were both 4-5). Since the NFL went to a 16 game schedule in 1978, other than the 1982 strike season the fewest games a playoff team has won is 8.
Under the current NFL alignment What is the best record a team can have and not make the playoffs?
In theory, 15-1.
If you had enough teams either go 15-1, a 15-1 team could miss the playoffs due to the wildcard being filled by two other 15-1 teams winning tiebreakers.
If you go 16-0, you win your division, a 16-0 team can never be a wildcard factor because all 16-0 teams would win their division.
If you go 15-1, another team in your division can also be 15-1 in your division pushing you into the wildcard pool. If this were to occur in three divisions, two teams going 15-1 splitting their head to head games, one of the six will not make the playoffs.
