Top 5 teams with longest NFL playoff win drought ft. Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins may be the most cursed team in the NFL right now.

In 2022, they took a massive leap forward when they hired Mike McDaniel to be their head coach and then traded for Tyreek Hill. The result was an explosive offense that looked set to contend for a Super Bowl, but that has not yet been the case.

Contrast that with the Detroit Lions – long considered the laughingstock of the NFC North – they experienced their own massive leap forward in 2023, clinching their first division title in 30 years, then defeated the Los Angeles Rams 24-23 to end what was then the longest playoff win drought at 32 years.
