List of NFL franchise post-season streaks
 | This article may be in need of reorganization to comply with Wikipedia's layout guidelines. The reason given is: Overuse of timelines and team color-coding add visual clutter and confusion. This can be cleaned up to be in line with the equivalent NBA and NHL articles, for example. (November 2024) |
This list includes the all-time and the active consecutive NFL playoff appearances. Aside from the NFL playoff appearance streaks, this list also includes Championship Game appearance streaks and the NFL championships win streak. Streaks from the AFL are also included.
The New England Patriots[1] held the longest consecutive playoff streak with 11 appearances from 2009 to 2019, which is the longest of all-time. The Patriots won three Super Bowls during this streak. The Dallas Cowboys[2] hold the second consecutive playoff appearances record with nine appearances from 1975–1983. The Cowboys won one NFL championship during the streak. The Indianapolis Colts[3] tied this record with nine straight appearances and one championship from 2002–2010. The Green Bay Packers[4] hold the longest consecutive NFL title streak with three consecutive crowns. They did this once in the 1920s, before playoff games, and once in the 1960s, by winning seven playoff games during this three year championship streak.
The Patriots hold the record for most consecutive playoff games won. From 2001–2005, New England won 10 games in a row, including 3 Super Bowls. The Packers previously held the record for most consecutive playoff games won with 9. Dallas, Pittsburgh, Denver, San Francisco, and Kansas City all have 7 game winning streaks.
