- Common games record
- Strength of Victory
- Strength of Schedule
Playoff Format
The NFL playoffs consist of 14 teams: the top 7 teams from each conference. The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament, with the top seed in each conference receiving a first-round bye. The remaining teams play a Wild Card round, with the winners advancing to the Divisional Round. The winners of the Divisional Round advance to the Conference Championship games, and the winners of those games advance to the Super Bowl.
Implications for Kansas Residents
The Kansas City Chiefs are currently the No. 1 seed in the AFC and are in prime position to secure a first-round bye. The Chiefs have a key matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 and will need to win that game to improve their chances of securing the No. 1 seed.
