What is the NFL Playoffs?
The NFL Playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the National Football League’s (NFL) regular season to determine the league’s championship. The thirteen winning teams advance to the playoffs, a series of single-elimination games, with each losing team being eliminated from the tournament. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, a single game between two teams to determine the NFL champion for that year.

How does the NFL Playoffs work?
The NFL Playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Each year, 12 teams qualify for the playoffs. The four division winners in each conference (NFC and AFC) earn a playoff berth, as do the two wild-card teams in each conference—that is, the two non-division-winning teams with the best won-loss records. In all, six teams from each conference advance to the playoffs.
Conclusion
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Each conference’s championship game is played on the first Sunday in February. The winners then advance to the Super Bowl, which is usually held on the first Sunday in February (but can be later if the first Sunday falls on February 1 or February 2).
The NFL playoffs began in 1933, when the league was divided into two divisions, the Eastern and Western. The two division winners met in a championship game. In 1966, the NFL expanded to four divisions (the Eastern, Central, Western, and Coastal), and each division winner advanced to the playoffs. The playoff system was expanded again in 1978, when four wild-card teams (the four best teams that did not win their division) were added to the tournament.
