How does the NFL playoff bracket work?

The NFL playoff bracket is ever-changing and differs from the static formats common in other leagues. That means that seedings play a significant role in future matchups. Based on seeding, the No. 1 seeded Chiefs and Lions will face off against the worst team, remaining in their conference in the divisional round.

Kansas City and Detroit will also hold home-field advantage throughout their side of the bracket provided they remain in the playoffs. If either team loses, the best remaining team, based on seeding, would gain home-field advantage.

The NFL’s bracket is dynamic, which ensures that regular-season results matter in terms of postseason matchups.
