What is the NFL?

The NFL is the National Football League, the premier professional American football league in the United States, consisting of 32 teams divided equally between the National Football Conference and the American Football Conference.

What are the playoffs?

The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL’s champion. Since 2010, the playoffs have consisted of six teams from each of the league’s two conferences: four division winners and two wild-card teams. The two wild-card teams from each conference play each other in the wild-card round. The divisional round consists of the four remaining teams in each conference, who play against each other in two games, on either Saturday or Sunday. The conference championships are then held, on either January 18 or 19, 2020, consisting of the two surviving teams from the divisional round; these are usually referred to as the AFC Championship Game and NFC Championship Game, respectively. The winners of those games then advance to Super Bowl LIV, scheduled for February 2 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

What is the seeding for the playoffs?

In the NFL, the playoffs are seeded so that the division winners with the best records play the wild card team with the worst record, while the division winner with the second best record plays the wild card team with the second worst record. This is done so that in each playoff game, there is a somewhat even match up.

How do teams advance in the playoffs?

In order to make the playoffs, a team must have one of the best records in their conference. The four teams with the best record in each conference (AFC and NFC) advance to the divisional playoffs. The two divisional playoff winners from each conference then advance to the conference championships, with the winners of those games advancing to the Super Bowl.

However, there are also four “wild card” teams in each conference that make the playoffs despite not having one of the best records. These teams are seeded fifth through eighth based on their record, and they play each other in the wild card round. The winner of each wild card game then advances to play one of the four divisional playoff teams.

Each year, the NFL schedule makers attempt to rotate which teams play in the Wild Card round. One NFC team and one AFC team receive a bye each year, meaning they don’t have to play in the Wild Card round. The four remaining teams in each conference are seeded based on their regular season record, with the top two seeds receiving home-field advantage.
