We almost saw all four teams in the NFC East make the playoffs this year, too.

The three team advancing thing is interesting, but requires precise seeding distribution. The only teams to beat NFCW teams in last years playoffs were other NFCW teams, but seeding kept the Cardinals from making it to round 2.

It just requires one team be the 1 seed, the rest can't play each other as they have to be wildcards. Still crazy rare to see, but from a seeding standpoint it's kinda reasonable

Would have happened this year if the Commanders made the playoffs and beat the 49ers. Not very likely they would have beat the 9ers, but they were close to the 7 seed and Eagles had the 1 seed so it was possible.
