With the 2020 NFL Playoffs getting ready to start on Saturday, it's time to take a look at the teams who have been able to run the gauntlet.
There has only been six teams since 1980 who have been able to go on a four game winning streak to win the Super Bowl. With the new format of the NFL Playoffs there will be more Wild Card games which gives this list a chance to add another team.

The Raiders would win three NFL Playoff games in a row to make the Super Bowl. Oakland would beat the Houston Oilers, Cleveland Browns and the San Diego Chargers on their way to the Super Bowl. The Raiders would go on to the Super Bowl and beat the Philadelphia Eagles to cap off their playoff run.
