Which NFL teams have the longest postseason streaks?
Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won six Super Bowl championships from 2001 to 2018. The Patriots won 16 of the 18 AFC East titles during that span.
New England finished second in the division behind the New York Jets in 2002, the only time the Patriots failed to win at least 10 games during the regular season in the Brady-Belichick era. The team’s other missed division title came in 2008, when the Miami Dolphins won it after Brady suffered a torn ACL in the season opener and missed the remainder of the season.
With a healthy Brady back under center, the Patriots won every division crown from 2009 to 2019. Those 11 straight division championships clinched an NFL record.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to break that record.
Here’s a look at the teams with the most consecutive playoff appearances in NFL history:
Welcome to the Fantasy Football Playbook for Week 13, which kicks off Thursday with the Bears at the Lions.
This column features score projections, over/unders, win probabilities, and, of course, easily digestible fantasy advice for seasonlong leagues and DFS. This guide should help you with all sorts of decision-making, including sit/start decisions, last-minute waiver adds and lineup choices.
The advice is centered on 12-team PPR leagues with relatively standard scoring and lineup settings (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 flex, 1 K, 1 D/ST), although I’ll often mention “shallow” or “deep” leagues for some starters. The charts show all players who have been projected for at least 6.0 fantasy points this week, as well as all D/STs. “Matchup” is automatically determined using a proprietary metric that factors in raw and volume-adjusted fantasy points allowed to each position by the opposing defense this season.
