How this bracket works

2018: 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 LIII in the middle, which was played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

2018 used the twelve-team format of 1990 to 2019: six teams per conference, with the top two seeds on a bye (New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints) and the 3 to 6 seeds playing on Wild Card weekend.

2 games went to overtime, marked OT on the sheet: New England Patriots 37, Kansas City Chiefs 31; Los Angeles Rams 26, New Orleans Saints 23.
