Note: The NFL uses seeding to schedule the opponents for the divisional round, not a straight bracket system. The lowest remaining seed after the wild card round will face the top seed from their respective conference, with the top seed having a bye during the wild card round. The remaining two teams from each conference after the wild card round, will then meet in the divisional round. The highest seed hosts the game. For the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs are the top seed while the Detroit Lions are the NFC’s top seed.
