No, it is customary to only list the regular season records of teams. That custom is being followed here.

Actually, I've seen it either with playoff games, or listed as 1-0, 0-0, etc., but never without the playoff games entirely.

The posted links, for which many thanks, aroused my curiosity and encouraged me to do a little independent research. I decided to consult the ESPN site and saw that they list the remaining playoff teams’ won-lost records during the regular season but not their current playoff record:

Thus, I’m inclined to agree with homcom that only the regular season records need be shown after a team’s name. After all, if it’s good enough for ESPN, the self styled “World Wide Leader,” it’s certainly good enough for me. :)

Glad my Pats are playing in primetime, instead of 1pm. I'm going to my friend's little brother's (he's ranked 1st in the nation in his age group) wrestling meet on Saturday afternoon. So, i'm happy that I won't have to be concerned about missing any of the game. Should be a great game.

FYI

The start times for the Championship games have been announced.
AFC 3:00 ET CBS
NFC 6:30 ET FOX

Surprised that the Pats ( if they do make it) are not in prime time with the perect season on the line.

The NFC and AFC alternate start times every year. Last year, the AFC was the late game so this year they are early.

Yeah it was, my wife and I were having dinner in the Hotel restaurant, getting ready to fly out to Jamaica for our Honeymoon and I got to see the Colts comeback :)

yes....and the wildcard sunday and divisional weekend saturday and sunday games also alternate year by year as well for example:

a) last year fox had the late sunday wc game (nyg/phi) and this year it was cbs.
b) last year fox had the divisional saturday nite game (phi/no) and this year its cbs.
c) last year cbs had the sunday late divisional game (ne/sd) and this year its fox.

While the NFL tries to alternate the start times for FOX and CBS the times are always TBD until the teams are decided. This is to prevent a west coast team playing a game with a morning start time.

yep buts it always worked out and they have been able to stay with the formula.

You can thank the Niners and Raiders for that. They suck so much there are only two real chances of a home West Coast playoff game these days (Seattle and San Diego). Maybe throw in Denver every third year.

As for the Cardinals, they've never hosted a playoff game in Arizona, so I'll lump them with the current Niners and Raiders until they show me something worthwhile.

you don't need to include the playoff wins in their record. when you see the playoff schedule, just add one, two, or three wins to the regular season record of each team, depending on what stage of the playoffs they're in.
