How the NFL playoff bracket works
The NFL postseason sends 14 teams to the bracket, seven per conference. Each conference seeds its four division winners 1 through 4 and its three wild card teams 5 through 7. The No. 1 seed earns the bye. Wild Card weekend pairs the 2 seed with the 7, the 3 with the 6, and the 4 with the 5. The Divisional round reseeds so the top surviving seed draws the lowest one left, then the two conference championships set the matchup for Super Bowl LXI. You can review the official rules at NFL.com.
