A 10-6 seventh seed is not going to win 3 road games against playoff teams to win a trip to the SB. And Carl and Lamar know it better than I do.
2000 – Baltimore Ravens* 5 seed 12-4
1999 – Tennessee Titans 4 seed 13-3
1997 – Denver Broncos* 4 seed 12-4
1992 – Buffalo Bills 4 seed 11-5
1985 – New England Patriots 5 seed 11-5
1980 – Oakland Raiders* 4 seed 11-5
1975 – Dallas Cowboys 4 seed 12-4
* won Super Bowl

The AFL was divided into two conferences, Eastern and Western, and both Conferences sent the winner and 2nd place finisher to the playoffs.
Oakland and the Jets were the conference winners, and the Chiefs and the Houston Oilers were 2nd place finishers.
They weren't considered Wild Cards.
