1985 Denver Broncos

Despite finishing with an impressive record of eleven wins and five losses, the Broncos failed to make the playoffs.

They did just that, beating Kansas City 14-13 and Seattle 27-24. However, even though the Broncos finished 11-5, they failed to reach the playoffs by virtue of a tiebreaker with the New England Patriots. The tiebreaker was based on the teams' common opponents record; and the Patriots beat the Broncos in that category by finishing 4-2 against the Raiders, Seaha ...
