Yesterday’s trivia question centered on which team has won the most regular season games since 1970. Today we’ll shift to post-season results.
Every NFL team has now won a playoff game, as the Houston Texans joined the club in January with a win over the Bengals in the wildcard round of the playoffs. That puts them tied with the Detroit Lions for fewest playoff wins since 1970; and unlike the Texans, the Lions have been around for far too long to have mustered just one playoff win in the last 43 years. Detroit defeated the young Dallas Cowboys in the division round of the 1991 playoffs — just before the Cowboys would put it all together and win the next two Super Bowls.
But what about the most playoff wins? Like yesterday, take a second to think about it, or click on the multiple choice answers below for some hints:
If we asked this question 15 years ago, it would be a blowout in favor of the Cowboys. At the time, Dallas’ 31 wins far outpaced the pack, with the 49ers (22), Steelers (20), Raiders (18) and Redskins (18) rounding out the top five. But now the Steelers hold the record with 33 wins, one more than the once proud Cowboys, who have managed to win just one playoff game in the last 15 years. San Francisco (26), New England (22) and Oakland (22) are the only other teams with more than 20 postseason wins.
