1991 NFL Season — Final Standings
Final regular-season standings. Washington went 14-2, the best record in the league, and went on to win Super Bowl XXVI. The New York Jets (8-8) edged division-rival Miami (also 8-8) for the final AFC wild card on a head-to-head sweep; in the NFC, Atlanta (10-6) beat out San Francisco (also 10-6) for the last wild card the same way, leaving the two-time-defending-champion 49ers out of the playoffs. The Indianapolis Colts finished 1-15.
