FAQs
What happens if a playoff game goes into overtime?
Playoff overtime follows sudden-death rules. The first team to score (touchdown, field goal, or safety) wins.
How are playoff seedings determined?
Teams are seeded based on their regular season records within their respective conferences (AFC and NFC). The team with the best record earns the #1 seed, and so on. Tiebreaker rules are used when teams have identical records.
Playoff Qualification & Structure
14 teams (7 from each conference) qualify for the playoffs based on their regular season records. Division winners are automatically granted playoff berths, while the remaining spots are filled by Wild Card teams with the best records in their respective conferences. The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament, culminating in Super Bowl LIX.
