A total of 14 teams will make the NFL playoffs in 2023. This will mark the third season during which the NFL has used a 14-team playoff; the league had used a 12-team playoff prior to the 2020 NFL season. Seven teams from each conference will make the postseason. The only impact of adding a seventh team to the fold is that there is one extra wild-c...

Each of its first two playoff games will be held at ho...
The NFL expanded to a 17-game season in 2021. The added contest hasn't had much of an impact on the playoffs, but it does slightly elongate the playoff race at the end of the regular season. The other big change is that the Super Bowl now takes place on the second Sunday in February instead of the first. That move was made because the NFL preferred...
