Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) regular season usually runs from September to December. Each team plays 16 games during the season. There are also four pre-season games called exhibition games.

The NFL playoffs start in January. The top six teams in each conference (the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference) qualify for the playoffs. The four division winners are seeded first through fourth, based on their win-loss records. The two wild card teams are seeded fifth and sixth.

The NFL playoff system is a single-elimination tournament. The first round, or Wild Card Weekend, is when the fifth and sixth seeds play each other, and the fourth seed plays the seventh seed. The second round, or Divisional Playoff weekend, is when the first seed plays the lowest remaining seed, the second seed plays the next-lowest remaining seed, and so on. The third round is when the Conference Championships are played, between the winners of each Divisional Playoff game. Finally, the fourth round is when the Super Bowl is played, between the champions of each conference.
