RECORDS & MILESTONES

The highest scoring season in league history, terrific turnarounds, consistent teams excelling again, records falling and young players making their mark. The 2020 season had it all.

Competitiveness was a constant theme throughout the regular season as 70 percent of games (179 of 256) were within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter, the second-most such games in a single season in NFL history. Additionally, 43 games were won by a team that trailed by at least 10 points, tied for the most in a single season in NFL history.

Week 17 came down to the wire, as seven playoff spots and two divisions titles – the AFC South and NFC East – were decided on the final day of the season. Sunday’s excitement was due in part to having 16 divisional games played on the season’s final day, a tradition instituted in 2010.

Seven of the 14 playoff teams are new to the postseason in 2019: CHICAGO, , , RAMS, , TAMPA BAY and WASHINGTON. Since 1990 – a streak of 31 consecutive seasons – at least four teams have qualified for the in every season that were not in the postseason the year before.

Both the (AFC North) and (NFC East) won their division after missing the postseason in 2019 and at least two teams have won their divisions the season after missing the playoffs in 17 of the past 18 years.

Washington completed the “worst-to-first” turnaround, winning the NFC East the season after finishing in last place in the division. At least one team has won its division the season after finishing in or tied for last place in 16 of the past 18 seasons.

Teams to win their divisions a season after missing the playoffs since 2003:
