The NFL Playoffs are a series of elimination games that determine the champion of the National Football League. They typically take place in January, following the regular season, and involve the top teams from both the AFC and NFC conferences. The playoffs consist of several rounds, including the Wild Card round, Divisional round, Conference Championships, and culminate in the Super Bowl. Each playoff game is crucial, as teams compete to advance to the next round. The two conference champions then face off in the Super Bowl, where the ultimate winner is crowned the NFL champion for that season.
