a wild card team is the 2 teams that are below the top 4 best teams. they do not have a grantee positions in the playoffs tho. so when a team is a wild card there stats for wins and loses are lower then the top four but higher then the rest of the teams.

The two teams with the best records from the NFC and the AFC that didn't win their divisions still make the playoffs. These teams enter the playoffs as wild-card teams instead of division champions.

A wild card team in football is a team that does not win its own division but makes the playoffs on the basis of having the best overall record of the remaining nondivisional winning teams.
