How this bracket works
2001: twelve teams, with the top two seeds in each conference on a bye
Every game above is the record: the seeds each team carried, the score, and who hosted. The AFC is on the left and the NFC on the right, each conference's rounds running in toward Super Bowl XXXVI in the middle, which was played at Louisiana Superdome.
2001 used the twelve-team format of 1990 to 2019: six teams per conference, with the top two seeds on a bye (New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams) and the 3 to 6 seeds playing on Wild Card weekend.
One game went to overtime, marked OT on the sheet: Oakland Raiders 13, New England Patriots 16.
