The NFL Playoffs refer to the knockout tournament held in the National Football League (NFL) at the end of the regular season to determine the champion of the league. The playoff system consists of 14 teams, including the four division champions from two conferences (AFC and NFC) and three wild-card teams from each conference that have the best records outside of the division leaders.
The playoffs are structured in a single-elimination format, meaning that a team is eliminated from the tournament after one loss. The playoff games culminate in the Super Bowl, where the champions of the AFC and NFC compete for the NFL Championship. The playoffs typically take place in January, leading to the Super Bowl in early February. This system creates high-stakes matches, as teams vie for a chance to win the prestigious Vince Lombardi Trophy.
