The NFL playoff field was largely locked up in the NFC heading into Sunday's slate of games with only one spot open. In the AFC, there were two open playoff spots remaining, but coming into the weekend, the seeding of the AFC side was almost totally wide open. Below is the NFL playoff field for 2022:
1. Tennessee Titans
The Titans received a scare against the Texans on Sunday as Houston scored 25 unanswered points, but Tennessee held on for the 28-25 win to maintain its hold on the No. 1 spot in the AFC. Now, the Titans get to rest a week and have the return of Derrick Henry to look forward to after the first-round bye.
2. Kansas City Chiefs vs. 7. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh has likely never been happier by a Raiders' field goal. Daniel Carlson's field goal at the last second allowed Pittsburgh into the playoffs. The Steelers won earlier in the day with Ben Roethlisberger carrying the team to a fourth-quarter and overtime comeback against the Ravens. The reward? Facing the Chiefs, a team that beat the Steelers 36-10 in Week 16. No team in the playoffs scored fewer points or totalled more yards than the Steelers, while the Chiefs ranked in the top-four...
3. Buffalo Bills vs. 6. New England Patriots
The battle for the AFC East came all the way down to the final week, with the Bills needing to beat the Jets in order to secure its second division title in as many years. In the first round of the playoffs, the two division rivals will face off with their playoff lives on the line. The Patriots won the first matchup against Buffalo, edging out the Bills in a snowy 14-10 win in Buffalo. But the Bills had their revenge in Foxborough, beating New England 33-21 in Week 16. The two teams were bot...
1. Green Bay Packers
The Packers locked up the No. 1 seed in Week 17 after they beat the Vikings to move to 13-3, leaving their Week 18 matchup against the Lions as a week for resting and tuning up in what was ultimately a losing effort. They'll now wait to see who they face in the divisional round at Lambeau Field two weeks from now.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. 7. Philadelphia Eagles
The last time Tom Brady faced the Eagles in the playoffs, Nick Foles led Philadelphia to a miraculous 41-33 win against the Patriots for the first Super Bowl win in franchise history. Now with the Buccaneers, Brady will hope to lead Tampa Bay past Philadelphia and Jalen Hurts in the first round of the playoffs. No team rushed for more yards than Philadelphia in 2021, while the Buccaneers led the league in passing yards.
3. Dallas Cowboys vs. 6. San Francisco 49ers
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense dropped 51 points on the Eagles in the season finale as they ended the season as the league's highest scoring team. But the 49ers are flying high after a dramatic overtime win against the Rams as Jimmy Garoppolo and San Francisco outscored Los Angeles 24-7 in the final two quarters and overtime.
The NFL does not use a fixed bracket playoff system, and there are no restrictions regarding teams from the same division matching up in any round. In the first round, dubbed the Wild Card playoffs or Super Wild Card Weekend , the second-seeded division winner hosts the seventh seed wild card, the third seed hosts the sixth seed, and the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed.
