Texans and Cardinals, NFL's newest and oldest franchises, each have seven playoff wins

The Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals have both won seven playoff games in their franchise histories. The Texans, the newest NFL franchise since joining in 2002, secured their seventh playoff victory by defeating the Steelers in the wild card round. They have previously won playoff games in 2011, 2012, 2016, 2019, 2023, and 2024 but have never advanced past the divisional round.

The Cardinals, the NFL's oldest franchise established in 1898, have a playoff win history that includes their first NFL Championship in 1925, although it was awarded based on regular-season records without a playoff. Their first playoff game win came in 1947 with an NFL Championship Game victory. They did not win another playoff game until 1998 against the Cowboys. In 2008, the Cardinals won three playoff games en route to the Super Bowl, and they added playoff victories against the Packers in both 2009 and 2015.
