Both correct.

First four were easy, the last three had me databasing it. I'll leave it open for now, but of the 7 in the past, only 2 made it to the SB (Green Bay in '96 and the Bears last year). Nobody else even played in their divisional championship game.

Answers: The 2006 Bears (13-3), 2006 Chargers (14-2), 1997 Patriots (10-6), 1996 Packers (13-3, SB), 1981 Bills (10-6), the 1975 Redskins (8-6) and 1970 Detroit Lions (10-4) are the only teams to have done it since the merger. If you make it two 23+ point victories, you can bring in the 2007 Steelers and the 1991 Houston Oilers (11-5).
