Ranking all 14 teams that made the NFL playoffs this year

The Seattle Seahawks just barely missed out on the NFL playoffs this year. Fans who are upset by how that played out should probably remember that they weren’t going very far in the postseason even if they had made it. Seattle would likely rank near the bottom of the teams who did make the playoffs – and most likely they’d be facing an early exit this coming weekend on the road against the Dallas Cowboys.

Let’s see how the 14 playoff teams who did make the cut stack up. Here are our rankings for each team that made the postseason this year.
