The meeting of the American (AFC) and National (NFC) champions, which determines the champion of the NFL season. The winners of these contests face each other in the Super Bowl, which is played at a predetermined neutral site. This is the match that determines the champion of their respective conference. The two surviving teams from the divisional round playoff games in each conference face off in the respective AFC and NFC conference title games.
In this phase, the teams with the best campaigns on each side will face the Wild Card winners. The matches are played by the winners of the divisions against the three best runners-up. This is the first stage of the tournament, which doesn't include the two best teams from each side. The games are played on a knockout system, and whoever loses is eliminated. Then comes the Wild Card, Divisional Round, Conference Championship Game and the ultimate glory: the Super Bowl title. Those who watch the NFL live throughout the regular season look forward to the playoffs, when the top teams in each division occupy eight spots, while six teams advance, depending on their score in the standings.
