How this bracket works

2006: 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 XLI in the middle, which was played at Dolphin Stadium.

2006 used the twelve-team format of 1990 to 2019: six teams per conference, with the top two seeds on a bye (San Diego Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears) and the 3 to 6 seeds playing on Wild Card weekend.

One game went to overtime, marked OT on the sheet: Seattle Seahawks 24, Chicago Bears 27.
