In the NFL, 12 teams make the playoffs. Six are from the AFC and six from the NFC.

In the AFC and NFC, the two best division leaders get a first round bye.

Each of the other two division leaders play a wildcard team. Wildcard is the best two teams which are not a division leader.

The winners of those games each face a team with a first round bye.

The winner of those teams play each other.

The AFC winner of that game and the NFC winner then face each other in what is called the "Superbowl".
