IowaFan26 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 It's never happened, so no one.The NFC's representative to the Super Bowl has always been the #1 or #2 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Washington Redskins, they played in the Wild Card round back in 92, they must have been at least #5, and they played at Minnesota.

Saintsfan Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Washington Redskins, they played in the Wild Card round back in 92, they must have been at least #5, and they played at Minnesota.JP is right I think that the 'Skins is the answer, but the, but in the 91 year they had a 14-2 record, the year they weren't seeded one or two was 1987, when they beat the Bears on the roadin the divisional round. I think this was the days when there was only 1 wild card game per conference, so the 'skins didn't play a wildcard game, but werent a top seed. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 1987 Redskins was correctHowever there were two wild cards per confernce then,and the 3rd best Division winner did not get a home game in the playoffs even though the top wild card team did. It seems kinds unfair now looking back at it, but thats what it was like from 1978-1989, and then in 1990 when they added the 3rd wild card team teh 3rd divsion winnr got a home game. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
