Every NFL organization has playoff pasts it remembers fondly as well as some games the franchise would prefer to forget. From early exits to long runs and championship seasons, the postseason has seen it all.
Here are the best and worst playoff results in the history of this year's playoff teams.
The Ravens lost their wild-card weekend games to Tennessee, 20-17, at home in 2003 and again in 2018, as rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson struggled in a 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
Buffalo's well-documented, four-year streak of Super Bowl defeats defined playoff disappointment in the 1990s. The Bills' closest chance came in 1990 when kicker Scott Norwood notoriously missed a game-winning field goal attempt wide right against the Giants. Those Bills teams, led by Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and Bruce Smith, are still fondly remembered despite never winning the big one.
Unfortunately Buffalo's last four playoff appearances have been one-and-done in the wild-card round. They disappointed three times in four years in the late 1990s under Marv Levy and Wade Phillips. Most recently, Buffalo lost a 10-3 offensive struggle at Jacksonville in 2017.
The Packers franchise is known for its history of greatness and won the first two Super Bowls ever. More recently, Brett Favre led the team to a 35-21 win over the Patriots in 1996 and Aaron Rodgers won his only Super Bowl, in 2010, with a 31-25 win over the Steelers.
Green Bay's more recent history has been defined by losses in the playoffs, including five defeats in the wild-card round over the last 21 years. The team's more recent wild-card weekend exit was a 23-20 defeat while hosting San Francisco in 2013.
Houston was blown out, 30-0, at home against the Chiefs in 2015. Last year's result wasn't much better, as the Texans lost at home, 21-7, to the Colts, getting their only points in the fourth quarter.
The Chiefs won Super Bowl IV over the Minnesota Vikings, 23-7. Len Dawson starred with his 142 passing yards and a touchdown, and Mike Garrett also scored a touchdown on the ground.
The Chiefs have become synonymous with early playoff exits in recent seasons. Their most recent wild-card weekend loss was a heartbreaker vs. Tennessee in which they led the Titans, 21-3, at halftime before losing, 22-21. That was only slightly better than their 45-44 wild-card round loss to the Colts in 2013, after leading 31-10 at halftime.
Minnesota had some dominant teams in the late 1960s and 1970s, but they failed to win the big one with head coach Bud Grant and star quarterback Fran Tarkenton. In fact, the team lost all four of their Super Bowl appearances by double digits.
The Vikings have suffered numerous wild-card exits since 1992. Their most recent loss was under head coach Mike Zimmer in 2015, when Seattle closed a nine-point fourth quarter deficit to win, 10-9, as Vikings kicker Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining.
The Patriots dynasty continues with head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, who have teamed up to win all six of the franchise's Super Bowls. The most recent win was a dominant defensive performance in Super Bowl LIII, beating the Rams, 13-3.
New Orleans upset the favored Colts, 31-17, in Super Bowl XLIV, putting on its back a city that was still recovering from Hurricane Katrina. Drew Brees had a great game, recording 288 passing yards and two touchdowns.
San Francisco had quite a run in the 1980s and early 1990s. Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana led the team to their first four Super Bowl wins, while Steve Young "got the monkey off his back" with a historic 49-26 win over the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX.
Following up a Super Bowl win, San Francisco lost, 17-3, to the Giants in the wild-card round back in 1985. Sixteen years later, the Niners fell, 25-15, to the Packers.
Seattle's great defense and efficient offense dominated the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. Peyton Manning was hampered all night, and Russell Wilson threw for 206 yards and two scores in the 43-8 win. Of course, the Seahawks had a chance to win back-to-back Super Bowls, but a Malcolm Butler interception at the goal line destroyed their hopes in Super Bowl XLIX against New England.
Seattle has lost five times in the wild-card round, most recently last year, 24-22, at Dallas, as they struggled to contain the Cowboys running game.
The Titans fell short against the Rams, 23-16, in Super Bowl XXXIV on a Mike Jones goal line tackle of Kevin Dyson at the end of regulation. Of course, the fact Tennessee was in the game to begin with was quite an accomplishment, given that the Titans needed the "Music City Miracle" kickoff return vs. Buffalo to get out of the wild-card round.
Dating back to their days as the Houston Oilers, the Titans franchise has lost five times in the wild-card round. Their most recent was a 17-6 defeat at San Diego under head coach Jeff Fisher with Vince Young at quarterback.
