Cowboys (1970s) 14
Steelers (1970s) 14

Redskins (1980s) 11
Bills (1990s) 10
Packers (1960s) 9

* The playoff format changed in 1990, so the Patriots had more opportunities to win playoff games when advancing from the wild-card round

Super Bowl XLII will mark only the second time that two teams met in the final game of the regular season, then met in the Super Bowl. The last time was in 1977 with the Cowboys and the Broncos during Super Bowl XII
