How this bracket works
2021: fourteen teams, with only the 1 seed 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 LVI in the middle, which was played at SoFi Stadium.
2021 used the fourteen-team format the NFL adopted in 2020: seven teams per conference, with only the 1 seed on a bye (Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers) and the 2 to 7 seeds playing three Wild Card games in each conference.
2 games went to overtime, marked OT on the sheet: Buffalo Bills 36, Kansas City Chiefs 42; Cincinnati Bengals 27, Kansas City Chiefs 24.
