Full Post:

f BOTH the Buccaneers and Dolphins clinch the final 2 spots in the @NFL Playoffs, a 34-year streak would come to an end.

Since 1990, at least 4 "new" teams have made the playoffs every year.

Right now: Vikings, Commanders, Chargers.

My guess is that "new" teams weren't in the playoffs last year, since both Miami and Tampa were, and the three listed were not.

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

By context I’m guessing “new” means “team that missed playoffs last year & made it this year”

[–] Grangle1@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

That is a good question. My first guess was teams that haven't yet won a championship/Super Bowl, but the Bills are in the playoffs and also have yet to win at least a Super Bowl (don't know about pre-Super Bowl era championships).

Minnesota Vikings : 1960 Chargers : 1959 ~~Redskins~~ Commanders: 1932 Buccaneers: 1976 Dolphins: 1966

when I think "new" teams, I think Ravens, Jaguars, Panthers (and Texans (~~Oilers~~))

I think he's saying new as in "not in the playoffs last year" as opposed to "newer franchise"

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

well, shit, lol, yeah, that'd made more sense. i'm going back to bed now.
