NFL Playoffs

The NFL Playoffs are a postseason tournament to determine the league champion. After the regular season, twelve teams (six from each conference) qualify based on their win-loss records. These teams compete in single-elimination games: the top teams may earn byes, while others play in early rounds. Winners advance through rounds called the Divisional Round and Conference Championships, culminating in the Super Bowl, where the champions of the AFC and NFC face off. This structure ensures a competitive and exciting path to crowning the league's best team for that season.
