What is the NFL playoffs?
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the National Football League (NFL)’s regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season records, and a tie-breaking system is used to seed the teams within their conferences.
In each conference, the four division winners and two wild card teams (the two non-division winners with the best records) qualify for the playoffs. The four division winners are seeded 1 through 4 based on their overall won-lost-tied record, and the wild card teams are seeded 5 and 6. The NFL does not use a fixed bracket playoff system, and there are no restrictions regarding teams from the same division matching up in any round. During the first round, dubbed the Wild Card Playoffs or Wild Card Weekend, the 3rd seed hosts the 6th seed, and the 4th seed hosts the 5th seed. The 1st seed is given a bye week and automatic entry into the second round, which is called Divisional Playoffs. The 2nd seed plays whichever team emerges from Wild / Weekend’s matchup between closest seeds remaining (lower seeded team if both seeds from that matchup win). Round 3, or Conference Championships is when each conference’s top two remaining seeds compete against each other for a chance to go to play in Super Bowl 52. Conference champions then compete against one another in Super Bowl 52 to decide who will be crowned NFL Champion for that year!
