Bengals, Lions, Chiefs (more than the Browns!) suffering NFL's longest playoff win drought (Shutdown Corner)

There are certain NFL franchises which, year in and year out, face the same old trite jokes about losing ... year in and year out. But do you know which team has had the longest drought without a playoff victory? The list might surprise you a bit. Seventeen of the 32 teams have won at least one playoff game in the past five seasons. But 11 teams — more than a third of the NFL! — have gone 10 seasons or more without a postseason victory. That's pain. We've compiled the list of playoff win droughts, from shortest to longest, and it might give you a new perspective for which teams have suffered the longest for playoff success: 32. New England Patriots Last playoff victory: February 1, 2015 (Super Bowl XLIX) Days since last playoff victory (as of July 15): 164 days You remember this play? Yeah, you might have seen it once or twice this offseason. 31. Seattle Seahawks Last playoff victory: January 18, 2015 (2014 conference championship game over Green Bay Packers) Days since last playoff victory (as of July 15): 178 days In one of the most remarkable playoff comebacks in league history, the Seahawks erased a 16-0 first-half Packers lead and a 19-7 edge with a little more than two minutes left to win in overtime. But hardly anyone talks about that now the way the subsequent Super Bowl ended. t-30. Green Bay Packers Last playoff victory: January 11, 2015 (2014 division round against Dallas Cowboys) Days since last playoff victory (as of July 15): 185 days Another classic and controversial victory — sealed when Dez Bryant's catch/non-catch was ruled incomplete — that has been somewhat lost in the narrative after the Packers couldn't finish the deal the following week. t-30. Indianapolis Colts Last playoff victory: January 11, 2015 (2014 division round against Denver Broncos) Days since last playoff victory (as of July 15): 185 days Andrew Luck was able to beat the man he replaced in Indy, Peyton Manning, who looked old and tired in the Broncos' home loss that started the clock on the Manning Retirement Watch. (An aside: How great were these past playoffs? We've just named four pretty incredible games, some of the best in recent postseason history, right out of the chute here.)
