Who Are Still In The Nfl Playoffs?

The NFL playoffs are in full swing, and there are plenty of teams still vying for a chance to win the Super Bowl. Who are the frontrunners? Who are the dark horses? And who are still in the running?

The NFL Playoffs

The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. From the divisional round onwards, it is composed of eight teams, four from each conference. The four divisional winners and two wildcard teams from each conference compete in the divisional round.

The NFL Conference Championships

The National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game is one of the two semi-final playoff games of the National Football League (NFL), the largest professional American football league in the United States. The game is played on the penultimate Sunday in January by the two remaining playoff teams, following the NFC postseason’s first two rounds. The NFC champion then plays in the Super Bowl, the biggest professional American football championship game, against either the AFC champion or that year’s defending Super Bowl champion.

The NFL Divisional Playoffs

The National Football League (NFL) playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held each year in the United States to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The playoffs were first proposed by George Halas in 1933, but were not instituted until 1970. The tournament Bracket is made up of four teams from each of the NFL’s two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). A total of 28 teams make it to the playoffs.

The divisional playoffs are conceived as holiday weekend games, usually played on Saturday and Sunday (although five times, a Saturday game was played on Sunday due to scheduling conflicts, most recently in 2016), with one game being played on Monday night. Since 1984, the divisional playoffs have been scheduled exclusively for weekends. In 2014, the NFL moved the start times of the divisional playoff games from 1:00 p.m. EST and 4:30 p.m. EST to 4:35 p.m. EST and 8:15 p.m. EST respectively in order to allow for 6 additional hours of rest for players between their final regular season game and their first playoff game; this move was made following a recommendation by the NFL’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee as player safety has become an increased concern in recent years

The AFC Playoffs

In the AFC, the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Kansas City Chiefs have clinched playoff spots. The Patriots have clinched the AFC East and a first-round bye. The Steelers have clinched the AFC North. The Jaguars have clinched the AFC South. The Chiefs have clinched the AFC West and a wild card spot.

The AFC Championship Game

The AFC Championship Game is the annual championship game of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The winner receives the Lamar Hunt Trophy, named after the founder of the AFL. The game is played at a pre-selected site four weeks after the end of the regular season.

Since 1970, the AFC’s representative in the Super Bowl has been determined by this single game.Since 2007, it has been hosted by the higher seed in each conference.
